Director, Global SSP Sales

Every SSP contract Humaneva holds was sold locally; Country by country, usually reactively, usually to a country-level buyer. Nobody at Humaneva has walked into a global R&D procurement function and said: you already use us in three countries, here is our global rate card, let's talk about a global agreement. That conversation is the job.

The plan you would be executing as a Director of Global SSP Sales is as follows:

• Map the buyers. Top 75 pharma plus the top 10 CROs. Global procurement leads and global site relationship leads identified by name. This does not exist today.
• Map the demand. For each account: do they use SSP at all, in which countries, through which providers, on what model.
• Then the two things that actually matter: category refresh dates and the buyer who owns them. Almost nobody tracks this properly. It is the highest-value intelligence in the business.
• Convert what we already hold. Take the global rate card into existing clients, propose the local-to-global MSA conversion, and use that as the opening into the global contract discussion. Some will bite immediately. Some will not.
• Get into the refresh RFPs. Be on the invite list across the Top 75 and top 10, positioned well before the RFP drops rather than responding to it cold.
• Win the work. Three levers, the same three you already know from FSP: renewals, expansions, new logos. Strong on the first, under-exploited on the second, close to zero on the third.

Knowledge, skills and abilities:

• Demonstrated ability to successfully lead the sales and marketing process.
• Comprehensive knowledge of clinical operations and sales requirements.
• Demonstrated knowledge of the clinical research and development process in the pharmaceutical and/or biotechnology industries.

Requirements:

• Minimum of 5 years of experience in CRO/SMO sales with demonstrated success in growing and managing a sales territory. Experience
• Bachelor’s degree in the life sciences, business, marketing or communications fields is preferable.

The anticipated salary range for this role is up to $200k/yearly with an extremely competitive commission model. Actual compensation will depend on experience, location, and other factors.
