Job description

Manager, Commercial Engagement – Life Sciences
New York City (On-site, 5 days per week)
$130 – $160k Base Salary + Equity + Benefits

The Company

Storm3’s client is an early-stage HealthTech company building AI-powered software for pharmaceutical commercial teams. Their platform helps life sciences organizations manage content creation, review, and deployment more efficiently, reducing the bottlenecks that slow down commercial execution.
Over the last year they’ve expanded rapidly across the pharmaceutical market and now support dozens of brands across large biopharma organizations and emerging biotech companies. The business is well-funded, growing quickly, and still small enough that individual contributions materially shape the company’s direction.

The Role

This isn’t a traditional customer success role, account management role, or consulting role, although there are elements of all three.
You’ll act as the primary commercial partner to pharmaceutical and biotech clients, helping them navigate complex promotional strategies while also ensuring execution happens. The person in this seat is expected to influence senior stakeholders, challenge assumptions when necessary, and translate ambiguous business problems into clear recommendations.
What makes the opportunity interesting is the level of ownership. There is no long chain of escalation and no hand-off between strategy and delivery. You’ll be expected to develop a point of view, align stakeholders around it, and then make sure the work gets done.
The company is particularly interested in candidates who have come from rigorous consulting or strategy environments and enjoy operating where there isn’t always a predefined playbook. Pharma experience is helpful, but not essential. Their view is that commercial judgment, analytical thinking, and stakeholder management are harder to teach than industry knowledge.
The environment is fast-paced and demanding. It suits people who enjoy being close to decision-making, are comfortable managing competing priorities, and want exposure across client engagement, product strategy, operations, and business development rather than staying within a narrowly defined function.

Qualifications

• 3+ years of experience in management consulting, strategy consulting, or a similarly analytical client-facing environment
• Experience managing senior stakeholder relationships
• Strong problem-structuring and strategic thinking capabilities
• Ability to navigate ambiguity and create clear recommendations
• Demonstrated success working cross-functionally across multiple stakeholder groups
• Strong operational and project management skills
• Excellent organizational skills and attention to detail
• Commercial mindset with an interest in life sciences, healthcare, or pharmaceutical marketing
• Comfortable working in a high-accountability, high-growth environment
