- Exceptional skills in industry event networking, conferences, and panel participation to raise both personal and company profile.
What You’ll Do:
- Act as a trusted advisor to senior leaders across the life sciences value chain - from R&D and regulatory to commercial and corporate strategy - by providing insight-led guidance on competitive, market, and scientific intelligence.
- Engage deeply with multiple stakeholder groups within pharma, biotech, medtech, and CRO/CDMO organizations, aligning AlphaSense to their strategic objectives.

- Represent AlphaSense at major industry events (e.g., BIO, HLTH), delivering live demonstrations, discussions, and networking to position the company as a market intelligence leader in life sciences.
- Orchestrate complex sales cycles across regional and global teams. You'll navigate multi-threaded decision-making processes, procurement, and legal review at an executive level.
- Collaborate closely with Product Specialists and Customer Success to design and execute proof-of-concept trials and onboarding strategies that demonstrate clear ROI for life sciences customers.
