Job Description
You will drive the full lifecycle of complex CDMO deals: target, qualify, shape, and close. Your command of CGT development, CMC/GMP requirements, and multi-stakeholder enterprise selling will unlock programs that move from concept to clinic-and ultimately, to patients. This candidate will sit on the West Coast, United States.
Why this role matters
Fuel growth where science meets scale: Your wins expand our Advanced Therapies portfolio and accelerate timelines for leading and emerging biopharma partners.
Own a strategic region: Lead our Commercial strategy in one of the most influential biotech ecosystems in the world-build a dominant pipeline and elevate our brand presence.
Orchestrate from first meeting to signature: Partner with Legal, Commercial Solutions, Demand Planning, Marketing, and Market Intelligence to shape competitive proposals, de-risk timelines, and land agreements set up for flawless execution.
What you'll do
Own net-new revenue for Advanced Therapies in your territory: Build, progress, and close high-value CGT/CDMO opportunities across vector, cell therapy, and enabling platforms.
Lead complex, consultative sales cycles: Map stakeholders from R&D through CMC, MSAT, QA/RA, Procurement, and Legal; manage evaluations, RFPs, and governance processes.
Translate science to value: Position capabilities including process and analytical development, tech transfer, scale-up, GMP manufacturing, QC/release testing, comparability, and PPQ.
Build senior relationships: Engage C-suite, functional heads, and program leaders; cultivate champions and executive sponsors.
Develop winning territory plans: Use market/competitive intelligence to target high-fit accounts; articulate your how-to-win strategy and accurate forecast to leadership.
Shape and negotiate contracts: Align value, risk, scope, and timelines; partner closely with Legal and Commercial Solutions to land compliant, mutually advantageous agreements.
Represent the brand: Drive high-impact presence at conferences and tradeshows; convert visibility into qualified pipeline.
Partner for execution: Maintain open communication with Demand Planning on capacity; collaborate with sales, product, marketing, and Market Intelligence to drive cohesive strategies.
Be accountable and data-driven: Keep systems and leadership current with pipeline health, forecast accuracy, and customer insights.
Technical sophistication expected
Deep familiarity with CGT/CDMO services and CMC: AAV/Lentiviral vectors, iPSC/PSC-derived cells, immune cell therapies (e.g., NK/T), plasmid and mRNA, upstream/downstream process development, analytics, and QC.
Understanding of phase-appropriate development and regulatory context: Pre-IND through BLA, QbD, tech transfer, PPQ, and comparability.
Comfort selling into GMP-regulated environments: Quality systems, compliance expectations, digital tools (e.g., CRM), and enterprise buying dynamics.
Minimum requirements
5+ years in senior-level business development, account management, or program management within biopharma/CDMO, with a track record of closing complex, multi-stakeholder deals.
Existing network across biopharma and CGT ecosystems; proven ability to originate and mature net-new opportunities.
Demonstrated pipeline discipline and forecast accuracy in long-cycle enterprise sales.
Advanced negotiation, presentation, and business-writing skills.
Bachelor's degree required; science-related field strongly preferred.
What sets you up to thrive
Hunter-strategist mindset: You're proactive, resilient, and skilled at building from zero to one.
Executive presence: You influence cross-functional partners and senior leaders with clarity and credibility.
Commercial acumen: You know how to position value, defend margin, and align scope with operational capacity.
Collaborative operator: You integrate seamlessly with Legal, Commercial Solutions, Demand Planning, Product, Marketing, and Market Intelligence.
Clear communication: You make the complex simple-written, visual, and verbal.
Scope and accountability
Build and manage a high-quality, high-velocity pipeline aligned to territory strategy and capacity.
Facilitate partnerships within the global sales peer group and across FUJIFILM companies.
Align closely with global directors on territory growth, portfolio positioning, and market dynamics.
Provide structured customer feedback to inform future solutions, differentiation, and win rates.
Your impact from day one
Develop and execute a territory plan that targets high-fit accounts across CGT segments.
Convert conference and field activity into qualified opportunities with velocity and discipline.
Close complex, compliant agreements that accelerate sponsor timelines and deliver sustainable Company growth.
Our culture and values
Patient-first impact: We're driven by improving patient outcomes and partner success.
Integrity and quality: We operate with transparency and rigor in GMP-regulated environments.
Respect and inclusion: We value diverse perspectives and foster a collaborative, supportive team culture.
Continuous improvement: We embrace innovation and disciplined execution to raise the bar for our partners and ourselves.
