Business Development Associate

Business Development Associate – EU/US Team

We’re hiring BD Associates to join either our EU or US team. This is a sales-driven role where you’ll be responsible for building and growing a defined market within life sciences. If you’re motivated by commercial conversations, enjoy speaking with people, and want a role where your activity directly drives your results, this could be a strong fit.

You’ll be working with organisations across biotech, pharma, and MedTech, identifying opportunities, speaking with candidates, and selling our recruitment services to new and existing clients.

What you’ll be doing

• Make high-volume outbound calls each day to identify leads and win new clients
• Sell our recruitment services and book in exploratory calls
• Build and rebuild your assigned RIG, developing warm and cold relationships
• Speak with candidates to understand their skills and project preferences
• Take clear hiring briefs and support the recruitment process where needed
• Maintain a structured day plan and keep the CRM fully updated

While much of your activity will be outbound, there is warmth – you’ll have access to existing candidates, previous clients, and targeted prospect lists you can start calling immediately.

What success looks like

• High outbound activity and consistent pipeline growth
• New client wins and strong follow-up discipline
• Clear ownership of your market and day structure
• A reliable rhythm of calls, leads identified, and meetings booked

What will you bring?

• You don’t need recruitment experience – but you do need to be proactive, comfortable having commercial conversations, and willing to learn quickly. You might come from:
• A sales or customer-facing background
• Up to a year of experience in recruitment (any sector)

Most importantly, you should enjoy speaking with people, working to targets, and taking responsibility for your own development.

Why join us?

• 🧬A purpose-led sector: You’ll work in an industry that genuinely impacts patients and scientific progress.
• 🫱🏼🫲🏼Hands‑on Mentoring: You’ll work closely with experienced billing managers and consultants who have decades of industry knowledge.
• 📈Structured Training: A clear development programme that guides you from BD Associate to a trusted market specialist.
• 💰Uncapped earning potential: Competitive base salary plus uncapped commission with no ceiling on what you can earn.

If you’re motivated by relationships, results, and real impact, this is your chance to build a career with purpose.
