Is this job info correct?

You understand the science. You speak the language of pharma. And you know how to turn conversations into business.


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

We're looking for a Scientific Account Executive to identify opportunities, start meaningful conversations and take those opportunities all the way through to a closed deal.


This is a full-cycle sales role. You'll create your own opportunities through phone, LinkedIn and email, run discovery conversations, develop relationships, present our solutions and close business.

Scientific understanding matters.


When you're speaking with Medical Affairs about a clinical study, publication or real-world evidence, we want you to understand the conversation. When you're speaking with Marketing, we want you to understand their objectives and recognize where our solutions could add value.


You don't necessarily need to come from a traditional Account Executive background. If you have strong pharma or scientific knowledge, client-facing experience and a clear commercial mindset, we can teach you our sales approach and process.



What you'll be selling

Our PubVisual solutions transform complex medical and scientific content - including clinical trial results, scientific publications, real-world evidence, mechanisms of action, disease education and treatment pathways - into short, engaging visual experiences, primarily for healthcare professionals.

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

You'll be selling an established solution into an industry you already understand.



What you'll do

You'll be responsible for creating your own opportunities and taking them through the sales process to a successful close.

· Identify and engage decision-makers across Medical Affairs, Medical Communications, Marketing and Market Access

· Proactively prospect through phone, LinkedIn and email, including cold calling

· Conduct discovery conversations and understand clients' scientific, communication and business needs

· Present our solutions and identify where RedNovius can add genuine value

· Own opportunities from initial conversation through proposal, negotiation and close

· Build long-term relationships that can lead to repeat business and larger account opportunities

· Manage your pipeline and forecasts in HubSpot and work closely with our commercial, medical and marketing teams.



Who we're looking for

This role sits at the intersection of science and sales.

We're particularly interested in people with a background in life sciences, biomedical sciences, pharmacy, medicine, biotechnology, clinical research, medical communications, pharma or healthcare.

You should:

· Be comfortable understanding and discussing medical and scientific information

· Understand concepts such as clinical studies, publications, scientific data and HCP communication

· Have strong client-facing communication skills and a commercial mindset

· Be confident approaching new people and proactively creating opportunities

· Be comfortable prospecting and cold calling

· Be able to recognize a genuine business opportunity and move it towards a decision

· Be independent, ambitious and willing to take ownership of your pipeline and results

Previous business development or sales experience is valuable, particularly if you've been involved in developing and closing opportunities.

However, we're also interested in scientifically strong candidates with the right commercial personality and ambition to develop into a successful Account Executive.



English requirement

Native-level or CEFR C2 English proficiency is required.

You'll communicate daily with senior international pharmaceutical professionals by phone, video, email and LinkedIn. Exceptional spoken and written English is therefore essential.

Scientifically credible. Commercially driven. Comfortable prospecting. Motivated to close.



What you'll get

· Competitive base salary + uncapped commission

· 100% remote work

· Full training and support in our sales approach and commercial process

· An established offering with a strong track record in global pharma

· Direct exposure to senior professionals at leading pharmaceutical companies

· The opportunity to grow into a senior commercial or strategic account role

Interested?
