The Mission: Why We Exist

Genomics is a science-led transatlantic TechBio combining large-scale genetic and health data with proprietary analytics to accelerate drug discovery and advance predictive, preventative healthcare. We are united by a single vision to help people live longer, healthier lives, using the power of genomics.

Genomics aims to help people live longer, healthier lives in two ways: super-charging drug discovery and development for novel treatments with our AI-enabled advanced genetic analytics platform, and by helping people understand their personal risk of common chronic diseases through polygenic risk scores - giving doctors and health systems the chance to get the right people into the right prevention, screening and treatment programmes at the right time.

Role Purpose

As our Associate Director/Director Business Development, you'll be a senior commercial force in the life sciences market - leading high-value, strategic new business for Mystra, our SaaS data and analytics platform. You'll engage at the most senior levels of pharma and biotech, building the kind of relationships and deals that define Genomics' trajectory.

This is a role for someone with deep commercial instincts, a genuine scientific grounding, and the confidence to operate as a trusted peer to R&D and data leaders at the world's leading pharmaceutical companies. You'll be a key senior individual contributor in a fast-moving Commercial team, and your success will directly shape the future of the business.

A Day in the Life

Strategic New Business: You'll own and drive the most significant new commercial opportunities across pharma and biotech - building multi-stakeholder relationships at senior and executive level and leading complex, high-value sales cycles from first conversation to contract close.

Executive Client Relationships: You'll invest deeply in understanding your clients' long-term R&D and data strategies, positioning Mystra as an essential part of how they work - not just a vendor, but a scientific partner.

Market Leadership: You'll bring a sophisticated view of the life sciences landscape, feeding strategic intelligence back into our go-to-market approach and influencing how we position and evolve our platform.

Sales Operations: You'll set a high standard for pipeline discipline and forecasting, contributing to strategic reporting that informs senior decision-making across the business.

Internal Influence: You'll carry significant internal weight as the voice of the customer — shaping how Product, Science, and Marketing think about the market and ensuring our commercial approach is always grounded in genuine value.

Who You Are

• You have a substantial track record of senior-level SaaS, digital health, or enterprise technology sales into pharma or biotech, with demonstrable success closing complex, high-value deals.
• You have deep experience engaging with R&D and research departments inside major pharmaceutical companies, and you navigate senior scientific and commercial stakeholders with ease.
• You have a strong working knowledge of genetics or genomics — enough to speak credibly and compellingly about what advanced genetic analytics can unlock for drug discovery.
• You think strategically about markets, clients, and positioning, and bring that perspective into everything you do.
• You're a self-directed, senior operator who thrives in a fast-paced scale-up environment and doesn't need a roadmap to find the right path.
• A degree in life sciences, business, or a related field is expected; an advanced degree is a genuine asset.
