Head of Life Sciences
About The Position
Trial Library is an AI-native enrollment and care navigation platform that accelerates access to precision medicine. In collaboration with biopharmaceutical manufacturers, payers, and health systems, Trial Library enables the delivery of clinical trials as a standard care option - improving patient access, advancing oncology outcomes, and reducing the total cost of care. Backed by leading healthcare venture capital firms, Trial Library’s platform is currently deployed in 840+ clinics and 3,000+ providers nationwide. We're seeking a Head of Life Sciences to build and grow Trial Library's life sciences partnership strategy. This is a highly strategic, individual contributor role focused on creating new commercial opportunities across the life sciences ecosystem. You'll leverage your network, identify new partnership opportunities, and help shape our commercial strategy while working directly with executive leadership. This is not an account management or customer success role. Your primary responsibility is generating qualified opportunities, building executive relationships, and advancing strategic discussions until they're ready to transition to the appropriate internal team. Success in this role is measured by the quality of the pipeline you build, the strength of relationships you establish, and the commercial opportunities you create.

- Provide ongoing competitive intelligence and market insights to influence company strategy.
- Build and manage a high-quality pipeline of qualified partnership opportunities.
- Maintain accurate CRM records, including contacts, opportunity stages, meeting notes, pricing discussions, and supporting documentation.
- Regularly communicate pipeline health, forecasts, risks, and next steps.
- Recommend improvements to business development processes and commercial operations.
- Represent Trial Library at conferences, industry events, customer meetings, and executive networking opportunities.
