Role & Responsibilities
Consulting & Delivery
Lead and deliver consultative client engagements across Life Sciences commercial excellence, including:
- Sales operations
- CRM strategy and implementation
- Field force design and deployment
- Incentive compensation design and administration
- Customer dynamic targeting and call planning
- Alignment design
- Ad-hoc analytics and field intelligence
- Advise clients on sales operations strategy, including CRM design, optimization, and adoption across commercial teams
- Drive business development efforts across key EU markets, identifying and pursuing new client opportunities in Life Sciences.
- Build and maintain strong relationships with senior stakeholders at pharmaceutical, biotech, and medtech companies across Europe.
- Lead proposal development, RFP responses, and solution pitches in collaboration with internal practice leads.
- Identify opportunities to expand existing client engagements and cross-sell Axtria's platform and analytics capabilities.
- Represent Axtria at EU industry conferences, forums, and client events to build brand presence and thought leadership.
Leadership & Team Development
- Build, manage, and develop high-performing teams in the EU, including coaching, mentoring, and grooming talent for long-term growth and leadership readiness.
- Actively contribute to team expansion through referrals, interviewing, and hiring to support business growth in the EU region.
- Drive thought leadership and capability development, including creation of POVs, whitepapers, solution frameworks, and client-ready content that strengthens Axtria’s positioning as a strategic, consultative partner.
- 10–15 years of experience in Life Sciences commercial analytics, with a background in consulting, analytics services, or technology services firms strongly preferred. Candidates with a blend of services and industry experience are welcome; pure pharma/industry-side backgrounds without consulting or client-facing services experience are not the target profile. Core experience should include:
- Incentive compensation design and administration
- Field force design and deployment
- Sales operations and CRM strategy (e.g., Veeva, Salesforce)
- Business development and client relationship management
- Sales force effectiveness
- Strong understanding of sales operations processes and CRM platforms used in Life Sciences commercial organizations.
- Demonstrated experience in business development—originating, qualifying, and closing consulting engagements with EU Life Sciences clients.
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Business, Engineering, or a related discipline such as Business Technology, Information Management, Business Analytics, Operations Management, or an MBA.
- Comfort with AI-driven analytics tools and digital commercial platforms (e.g., Veeva CRM, Veeva Vault, Salesforce, or comparable SFA/CRM ecosystems); familiarity with Agentic AI or GenAI applications in a Life Sciences commercial context is a strong plus.
Axtria is looking for exceptional talent to join our rapidly growing global teams. People are our biggest perk, and our transparent and collaborative culture offers a chance to work with some of the brightest minds in the industry. We want our legacy to be the leaders we produce for the industry. Will you be next?
- Based in London (EC2Y 5AS), Zurich (8001), or Frankfurt (60306) — hybrid working model with regular presence in client offices and Axtria EU hubs.
- Travel to client sites and conferences across Europe.
- Competitive compensation and benefits package commensurate with experience, including performance-based incentives.
- The exact nature of duties as well as the compensation package will be commensurate with experience and market standards for the respective location.
