The role involves developing new partners, enabling existing ones, and collaborating with marketing to shape go-to-market strategies in the pharmaceutical sector.
Responsibilities
• Build & expand the partner network
• Identify, evaluate, and onboard new pharma-focused partners (dealers, distributors, OEMs, online resellers)
• Spot gaps in coverage and proactively target the right players in the ecosystem
• Assess current partners: who has real pharma potential, who needs development, who needs repositioning
• Create structured growth plans per partner with clear actions, goals, and follow-up
• Coach partner sales teams on:
• Ideal customer profiles (labs, pharma manufacturers, data centers, etc.)
• How to position measurement and monitoring solutions, including bundling with OEM equipment (e.g. data loggers with fridges/freezers)
• Join key customer conversations where needed
• Work closely with the internal marketing team to co-create campaigns, toolkits, and collateral tailored to partners
• Ensure online dealers present and position products correctly (product pages, messaging, visuals, cross-sell opportunities)
• Track partner performance (primarily sales) and act early where support or course-correction is needed
• Feed market and partner insight back into sales, marketing, and product teams
Skills
• Experience in Business Development, Channel/Partner Management, Dealer or Distributor Management, ideally in Pharma
• Experience in Life sciences
• Experience in Laboratory equipment
• Experience in Measurement / monitoring / data logging / related technical solutions
• Proven ability to build and develop partnerships, not just service existing accounts
• Comfortable working with partner sales reps and marketing teams from training and enablement to campaign ideas
• Commercially sharp, creative in go-to-market, and able to put your own spin on a shared vision
• A genuine self-starter: you don't wait for step-by-step instructions, but you're self-aware enough to ask for input when needed
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills, with the ability to influence without direct authority
• Enjoy owning a segment and being the 'go-to' person for pharma partnerships
• Like working with a hands-off, supportive manager who acts as a sparring partner rather than a micromanager
• Are comfortable with change and can pivot as the partner strategy evolves
• Take pride in being a doer – someone who turns ideas into concrete action with partners
