We are the UK’s largest early Phase Contract Research Organisation (CRO) uniquely based within excellent facilities at two London university hospital sites.

A fantastic opportunity has arisen for an experienced Business Development Manager to join Richmond Pharmacology’s Sales Team. The role will involve selling RPL’s services to the pharmaceutical and biotech industries and the successful candidate will be a consummate and credible sales professional and will be experienced in operating within a target driven sales environment. You will have a proven success in your sales ability and will have very strong client management skills. You will have a very positive and determined approach to researching and analysing new business opportunities.  The candidate we are looking for will manage the generation and development of new business opportunities, generate valuable sales leads going forward and to that end will develop win-win partnerships with our clients. Ideally you will have previously worked in sales and business development roles within the clinical trials/pharmaceutical industry for a solid period of time.

This role will suit people who are sales hungry and who can exploit their exceptional sales and negotiation skills. You will enjoy proactively managing the sales process: lead generation, asking probing questions, providing credible solutions, negotiating and of course the all important closing stage. You will possess drive, motivation and acute attention to detail in ensuring all sales opportunities at Richmond Pharmacology are captured and explored.

If you feel you have the right experience and capabilities to join our team and manage and maintain a pipeline of opportunities and to ultimately drive your career forward through your dedication and tenacity, come and talk to us now. Your efforts will be greatly rewarded via a generous basic salary and a target driven commission package, plus a full benefits package including a contributory pension scheme, life assurance, private medical insurance and a generous holiday allowance.

If you are hard working, driven, ideally have sound pharmaceutical/clinical trial industry experience and can show a proven track record in the development of sales opportunities in previous posts then this is indeed for role for you!
