THE ROLE

IQVIA is currently looking to appoint team of driven and experienced BD professionals, to work specifically within the domain of Emerging BioPharma (EBP). These individuals will be based in the company’s key EMEA hubs – the UK, Switzerland, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Spain, Italy, France, and the Nordics.
These are critical appointments as part of a company-wide initiative, who are not only focussed on increasing our client portfolio through successful sales and business development, but who will develop trusted relationships which will enable IQVIA to sell across the enterprise/continuum over time.
IQVIA envisions significant additional commercial upside in a market that remains well-positioned for further consolidation. The key will be effectively harnessing its integrated solutions portfolio in such a way as to move beyond transactional, reactive sales activity to shape understanding around the IQVIA expanded platform. Inevitably, this will necessitate positioning the end to end offering discussions to a higher level with existing and future clients.
These EBP sales specialists will be responsible for selling the entire solution portfolio across Commercial, Technology, Data and Consulting, thereby fulfilling every client need across the product lifecycle. These individuals will need the seniority and gravitas to engage credibly at C-Suite level with EBP clients, navigating internally across the account and pulling together the optimal IQVIA expert teams as required. They will gather the required internal, external, and competitive intelligence on their clients, develop a robust, systematic account strategy and drive superior execution to identify, drive and expand the business within their target EBP HQ clients across the entire IQVIA solution portfolio.
Critically, these individuals will be required to sell and close the bigger value deals and so IQVIA needs to appoint strategic sales and business development leaders with the experience and gravitas to operate at this level. Candidates will need to bring past solution selling expertise with a track record of leveraging organizational capabilities to upsell, driving a more sophisticated and integrated sales approach helping to shift the market to the benefit of the company.

Considering the above, candidates for the roles should exhibit the following skills and competencies:

• Broad understanding of the global and regional challenges of life science companies in pricing, access, drug development and commercialization – in the context of our Business, Process and Technology-oriented questions.
• Ideally with a stronger R&D understanding given most EBP organizations are working in the development space
• Understanding of the company’s full offerings and capabilities with broad functional knowledge
