Is this job info correct?

You know how to open doors. We'll teach you the science.

At RedNovius, we work with some of the world's leading pharmaceutical and life sciences companies, helping them turn complex medical and scientific information into engaging visual experiences.

We're looking for an experienced Business Development Representative who knows how to prospect, start conversations and create new business opportunities.

You don't need a pharmaceutical or scientific background.


We'll teach you about our solutions, our clients and the pharmaceutical industry, and give you the scientific foundation you need to have credible conversations with prospective clients.

What we're looking for from you is harder to teach:


The confidence to approach people you've never spoken to before, the persistence to keep going, the curiosity to ask great questions, and the commercial instinct to turn conversations into opportunities.


If you're a strong B2B business development professional who wants to build expertise in the global pharmaceutical industry, we'd like to hear from you.


What you'll be selling

Our PubVisual solutions help pharmaceutical companies transform complex medical and scientific information into short, engaging visual experiences, primarily for healthcare professionals.

This includes content around:

  • Clinical trial results
  • Scientific publications
  • Real-world evidence
  • Mechanisms of action
  • Disease education
  • Treatment pathways
  • HCP education and engagement

Don't worry if some of those terms are new to you.

We'll teach you.

We've delivered thousands of projects across 30+ countries and worked with 150+ pharmaceutical companies, including many of the world's leading pharma organisations.

You'll have an established solution, a strong track record and an experienced team behind you.


What you'll do

Your primary objective is to create qualified new business opportunities.

You'll:

  • Identify the right prospects within pharmaceutical and biotech companies
  • Research accounts and decision-makers
  • Create personalized outbound campaigns
  • Prospect through phone, email and LinkedIn
  • Start conversations with senior professionals across Medical Affairs, Marketing and Market Access
  • Conduct initial discovery and qualification calls
  • Understand prospects' challenges, objectives and potential needs
  • Build relationships and follow up intelligently
  • Turn conversations into qualified commercial opportunities
  • Manage your activity and pipeline in HubSpot
  • Work closely with our commercial and marketing teams
  • Test different approaches, messaging and channels and continuously improve your results


Who we're looking for

For this role, sales ability comes first.

We're looking for someone who genuinely enjoys outbound business development rather than someone who simply wants to manage incoming leads.

You should:

  • Have experience in B2B business development, sales development or outbound sales
  • Be confident prospecting by phone, email and LinkedIn
  • Be comfortable approaching senior decision-makers
  • Know how to research an account before contacting a prospect
  • Be able to conduct an effective first discovery conversation
  • Ask good questions and listen carefully
  • Understand the difference between activity and a genuinely qualified opportunity
  • Be persistent without being pushy
  • Be organized and comfortable working with a CRM
  • Take ownership of your targets and results
  • Be curious and capable of learning a complex industry

Experience selling professional services, technology, healthcare solutions or other complex B2B solutions is particularly relevant.

Previous pharmaceutical or life sciences experience is an advantage, but it is not required.

We'll provide structured training to help you understand the pharmaceutical industry, our solutions, our clients and the scientific concepts you'll encounter.


English requirement

Native-level or CEFR C2 English proficiency is required for this position.

Our clients and prospects are international pharmaceutical professionals, and you'll spend a significant part of your day communicating with them by phone, video, email and LinkedIn.

You therefore need exceptional spoken and written English and the confidence to communicate with senior international professionals.


What you'll get

  • Competitive base salary + uncapped commission
  • 100% remote work
  • Comprehensive training in pharma, life sciences and our solutions
  • A proven offering with an established track record in global pharma
  • Professional sales tools and established outreach infrastructure
  • The opportunity to build expertise in one of the world's largest and most sophisticated industries
  • Direct exposure to senior professionals at leading global pharmaceutical companies
  • Close collaboration with an experienced international team and company leadership
  • Real opportunity to progress into a closing, strategic account or senior commercial role


About RedNovius

At RedNovius, we believe complex science deserves to be understood.

We combine medical and scientific communication with visual storytelling to help pharmaceutical and life sciences companies communicate important information more clearly and effectively.

Our international team works with clients around the world, creating scientific visual experiences designed to educate, engage and make complex information easier to understand.


Interested?

If you're an experienced outbound salesperson who's curious about pharma and life sciences, don't let the science put you off.

We'll teach you the industry.

You bring the sales ability.
