SalesSales Development Rep

 

We're looking for ambitious graduates and early-career professionals with a background in Life Sciences to join PatSnap as a Sales Development Representative (SDR).

This is your chance to take your scientific knowledge beyond the lab and apply it in a commercial role, working with some of the world's most innovative pharmaceutical, biotech and medical device organisations.

You'll become a trusted first point of contact for R&D and innovation leaders, introducing PatSnap's AI-powered platform and helping organisations accelerate research, reduce development risk and bring life-changing innovations to market faster.

We're not looking for experienced salespeople, we're looking for curious, ambitious graduates who are eager to learn. We'll provide structured training, ongoing coaching and mentorship to help you develop into a high-performing SaaS sales professional.

This is a fast-paced, target-driven role where your success will be determined by your resilience, curiosity and willingness to learn. If you're motivated by personal growth, enjoy speaking with people and want to build a career with exceptional earning potential, this could be the perfect opportunity.

This is a hybrid role based in our London office, with the flexibility to work either hybrid (Monday, Tuesday and Thursday in the office) or fully office-based if you prefer.

PatSnap is a global, Series E, unicorn SaaS platform that transforms the way organizations harness their Intellectual Property and Research & Development productivity. Our user-friendly platform revolutionizes how IP and R&D teams collaborate across the entire innovation lifecycle, using industry-leading, domain-specific AI to generate and validate ideas and bring innovative products to market faster, better, and cheaper. More than 12,000 R&D and IP teams worldwide use and trust PatSnap to innovate and commercialize new products.

As the leading global Life Sciences intelligence platform, PatSnap helps pharmaceutical, biotech, medical device, and life sciences organisations make better innovation decisions. By connecting patents, scientific literature, clinical trials, regulatory data, and market intelligence, we enable our customers to identify white spaces, reduce R&D risk, and accelerate breakthrough innovation.

We have a vibrant and diverse team with offices in Toronto, London, Shanghai, and Singapore. Our hyper-growth trajectory is powered by our people, and we are extremely proud of our company-wide vision, work ethic, and entrepreneurial spirit. We are committed to fostering an inclusive environment where talent thrives and ideas bloom.

As an SDR, you'll be on the front line of PatSnap's growth, helping us connect with the world's leading pharmaceutical, biotech and medical device organisations. This is a true business development role where you'll learn how to identify opportunities, build relationships and create commercial value. Sales isn't about having all the answers, it's about asking great questions. Your scientific curiosity will help you understand customer challenges, while we'll teach you the commercial skills to build a successful career in SaaS sales.

You will:

  • Develop a hunter mindset, proactively identifying and engaging new prospects through phone, email and LinkedIn.

  • Use your scientific background to build credibility with senior R&D, innovation and scientific leaders.

  • Create and qualify new sales opportunities, turning cold prospects into valuable commercial conversations.

  • Build resilience by handling rejection positively and consistently achieving ambitious activity and pipeline targets.

  • Work closely with experienced Account Executives, helping convert qualified opportunities into revenue while learning every stage of the sales process.

  • Develop the commercial skills needed to progress into a closing role, including influencing, negotiation and relationship building.

  • You don't need previous sales experience – we're looking for people with the attitude, curiosity and ambition to build a successful career in SaaS sales. We're looking for someone who:
  • Has a degree (or equivalent experience) in Life Sciences or a related scientific discipline.
  • Is excited by the idea of applying your scientific knowledge in a commercial, customer-facing role.
  • Ambitious and motivated by success, with the drive to excel in an uncapped commission environment.
  • Confident and proactive, comfortable starting conversations and building relationships with new people.
  • Resilient and determined, with the mindset to overcome challenges and thrive in a target-driven environment.
  • Naturally competitive, with a strong desire to achieve goals and progress quickly in your career.
  • An excellent communicator, able to explain complex scientific concepts in a simple, engaging way.
  • Curious, coachable and eager to learn, always looking for ways to improve.
  • Organised and self-motivated, with the ability to manage your time and priorities effectively.
  • Passionate about technology, AI and innovation, and excited by the impact they have on R&D and scientific discovery.
  • A natural problem solver who enjoys understanding customers' challenges and helping them find solutions.
  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced, collaborative environment where no two days are the same.
