Job description
We are seeking an entrepreneurial, highly creative, and consultative Senior Director, Strategic Partnerships to drive growth for our expanding healthcare communications and health education agency.
This is not a traditional sales role. We are looking for a curious "hunter" who enjoys opening doors, building relationships, and partnering with pharmaceutical marketers to solve meaningful business challenges. The ideal candidate is energized by developing new ideas, uncovering unmet needs, and connecting clients with innovative solutions that improve healthcare professional engagement, strengthen patient education, and ultimately help more patients receive better care.
We're looking for someone who doesn't simply sell agency services - they bring ideas. Someone who can walk into a meeting with a Professional or Consumer Brand Manager, ask insightful questions, understand their business challenges, and leave with the beginnings of a solution. This person should be equally comfortable discussing brand strategy, omnichannel engagement, field force effectiveness, patient engagement, digital innovation, AI-enabled solutions, and educational initiatives that create value for brands, healthcare professionals, and patients.
Success in this role requires equal parts business development, strategic thinking, creativity, and relationship building. You will become a trusted partner to pharmaceutical marketing teams by helping them solve challenges - not by selling products, but by bringing fresh ideas that improve outcomes.
Located in the northeastern U.S.
Develop and execute a strategic growth plan to achieve and exceed annual revenue goals.
Identify, research, and engage Professional Brand Managers, Consumer Brand Managers, Brand Directors, and other commercial leaders within pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies.

Leadconsultative discovery conversations that uncover opportunities where innovative educational, digital, AI-enabled, and engagement solutions can create measurable value.
Bringfresh strategic ideas to every client interaction and proactively recommend solutions that improve healthcare professional engagement, strengthen patient education, enhance patient support, and drive measurable business outcomes.
Partnerwith internal strategy, medical, creative, and digital teams to develop customized solutions that address client needs.
Presentagency capabilities, strategic recommendations, and creative concepts that differentiate our organization from traditional healthcare agencies.
Leadthe complete business development process from prospecting through proposal development, negotiation, and contract execution.
Build, manage, and accurately forecast a healthy sales pipeline.
Represent the agency at industry conferences, client meetings, and networking events while expanding the agency's visibility and reputation- this role requires up to 25% travel.
