About Genora Partners
Genora Partners is a specialist life sciences recruitment business. We work with small to mid-sized, well-funded biotechs, RWE and data analytics vendors, and AI and tech providers across the drug development lifecycle. We are founder-led, relationship-driven and small enough that you will work directly with the people running the business from week one.
Our Core Values - you'll need to demonstrate this;
- Solutions-Led – We focus on solving real-world talent challenges, not just filling roles. From market mapping to strategic hiring solutions, we deliver outcomes that move businesses forward.
- Collaborative – We work as an extension of our clients and networks, building genuine partnerships that create long‑term value for all stakeholders.
- Integrity – We operate with transparency and honesty at every stage. We do the right thing, regardless of the short‑term outcome, because trust is everything.
The role
This is a trainee-to-business-developer role. You will start by supporting the two founders with candidate generation, and learn a life sciences specialism as you go. As your knowledge and confidence grow, you will move into full business development: speaking to hiring leaders, winning searches and running them end to end.
You will be talking to senior people early. That is the point of the role, and we will coach you through it.
What you will do
- Support the founders with candidate generation: researching, identifying and approaching candidates for live searches
- Pick up the phone. Speak to candidates, understand what they are looking for and present opportunities clearlySit in on and, over time, lead conversations with client-side senior stakeholders, including C‑suite
- Move from candidate generation into business development as you progress
Who we are looking for
We will consider two routes in:
- Sales background: strong B2B sales experience, ideally at a senior level of engagement, or
- Graduate: a degree, with the communication skills and confidence to match
Either way, you will need:
- The ability to articulate yourself clearly, on the phone and in writing
- Confidence dealing with senior stakeholders, including C‑suite
- High level of emotional intelligence, we are dealing with people's careers, and need to be empathetic to that fact
- Natural curiosity. You ask good questions and want to understand how things work
- Eagerness to learn, and the resilience to keep going when a call does not go your way
- Drive and a strong work ethic
Life sciences experience is not required. We will teach you the specialism.
