About The Position

Novellia is seeking a Senior Solutions Lead to join their commercial team. This role is responsible for the end-to-end delivery of real-world data and analytics solutions for life sciences customers. It is a strategic, client-facing position requiring deep scientific fluency, business judgment, and the ability to lead complex, cross-functional work independently. The Solutions Lead will act as a liaison between clients and internal teams, translating research questions into executable solutions, driving alignment across departments, and advising senior client stakeholders. The role also involves shaping Novellia's commercial operations by building playbooks and processes for a growing team. The ideal candidate is comfortable with ambiguity, operates independently, earns trust quickly, and can engage effectively with both technical and non-technical audiences. This is a demanding role that requires focus, urgency, and client accountability, suitable for individuals energized by building something new in a fast-paced environment.

Requirements

• 6-8 years of experience in client-facing roles in biopharma consulting, real-world data analytics, life sciences strategy, or a closely related field
• Demonstrated ability to independently lead complex, multi-stakeholder projects from scoping through delivery
• Strong scientific foundation (life sciences, public health, or related field) with the ability to engage credibly on real-world study design and data quality, without needing to be a domain expert in every indication
• Proven track record of building trusted relationships with senior client stakeholders
• Fluency operating across both technical (data science, engineering) and non-technical (commercial, clinical, regulatory) audiences
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to synthesize complex ideas into clear, compelling narratives
• Experience building or improving operational processes in a fast-moving environment
• Bachelor's degree in biology, biochemistry, neuroscience, biomedical engineering, public health, or a related field
• Passion for improving patient outcomes through data-driven research and evidence generation

Responsibilities

• Own all client-facing workstreams, including leading calls, managing escalations, proactively surfacing risks, and ensuring clients feel consistently supported and informed
• Drive internal cross-functional teams (data science, engineering, product) to deliver on commitments, removing blockers and making judgment calls when trade-offs arise
• Build and refine standardized delivery frameworks, SOPs, and project templates that improve consistency and efficiency across the commercial portfolio
• Partner closely with sales to scope new opportunities, develop proposals, and represent Novellia's solutions capabilities in client conversations
• Serve as a senior scientific and strategic voice in pitch meetings, helping prospective clients understand what is possible with Novellia's data and how to design studies that will hold up to scrutiny
