Beacon Biosignals is seeking a strategic, scientifically-oriented, and relationship-driven Business Development Director to grow our revenue-generating partnerships with large pharma targets and current customers. This role will be critical for developing, managing, and growing customer relationships by identifying, pitching, nurturing, and successfully negotiating opportunities to support customers' clinical development objectives in neurology, psychiatry, and sleep-related disorders using Beacon's products and services.

• Develop a deep understanding of customer needs, proactively providing solutions of Beacon's platform across multiple business units.
• Serve as the commercial counterpart to each key account's Program Manager, acting as senior liaison with the customers, communicating progress on existing programs, and helping to address any challenges that arise.
• Lead quarterly business reviews with customers, providing insights on program impact, new product offerings, and pipeline review for future collaboration opportunities.
• Influence and work with cross-functional teams to support partnerships, including Neuroscience, Data Science, Data Engineering, Clinical Operations, Program Management, and the Leadership team.
• Expand and deepen existing customer relationships by demonstrating thought leadership and providing scientifically-grounded insights that help advance customers' clinical development initiatives.
• Lead complex negotiations that maximize value for both Beacon and its partners.
• Maintain and record business development activities in a CRM, and drive lead generation outreach efforts at existing customer key accounts.
• Option to support alliance management responsibilities with Clinical Research Organizations, establishing and fostering relationships with strategic partners.
  
  

What You Will Bring

• 3+ years of experience in a quota carrying role, either in account management or business development, within the biopharmaceutical or clinical trials industry.

• Advanced degree (PhD, MD, or Master's) in neuroscience, biomedical engineering, or a related field.
• Strong scientific acumen, with experience working in neuroscience, clinical trials, or neurotechnology preferred.
• Exceptional interpersonal skills with a demonstrated ability to build trusted relationships with senior executives, scientists, and clinicians.
• Proven ability to lead and close complex deal negotiations, balancing short-term wins with long-term strategic growth. Ability to independently lead strategic discussions, negotiate contract renewals, and proactively problem-solve with customers.
• Entrepreneurial mindset with the ability to navigate ambiguity, identify growth opportunities, and drive commercial success in a developing market.
• Experience executing land-and-expand strategies, with a track record of increasing account revenue and driving long-term partnerships.
• Excellent presentation and communication skills, with the ability to build PowerPoint presentations and to translate complex scientific and technical concepts into clear, compelling value propositions
