IMO Health is seeking a dynamic and results-driven Business Development Director to drive the acquisition of new business, with a strong focus on Life Science organizations poised to benefit from our cutting-edge clinical data intelligence solutions. This role is pivotal in establishing IMO as a leader in data quality.

As the Business Development Director, you will be at the forefront of targeting and penetrating new organizations, particularly within the Life Science sector (pharmaceutical companies and contract research organizations). You will identify key stakeholders and decision-makers, crafting and executing strategic plans to meet and exceed sales targets. Your efforts will directly contribute to the growth of our market presence and revenue.

Success in this role demands more than a proven sales record; it requires a pioneering approach. You will lead the charge in launching new SaaS products that address complex data quality challenges related to clinical trials and prescription efficacy for patients. Your consultative, solution-oriented strategies will craft compelling value propositions that align with our clients' unique needs. In a fast-paced, dynamic environment, your ability to combine creativity with strategic thinking will be key to your success.

10+ years of enterprise sales or business development experience, with a strong track record of closing complex, high-value deals. Experience selling into Life Sciences organizations (pharma, biotech, CROs) is required, and candidates may bring a combination of Life Sciences and healthcare technology sales experience.

Experience selling advanced technology solutions, such as AI, machine learning, data, analytics, or SaaS platforms. Experience selling emerging solutions that require consultative, solution-based selling is highly desirable.

Familiarity with clinical development and clinical trial workflows, including an understanding of key stakeholders, processes, and challenges within pharmaceutical and biotech organizations.

Demonstrated track record of successfully targeting and developing leads, building and managing pipelines, crafting proposals, and closing high-value accounts to drive subscription-based revenue.
