• 8+ years of experience in clinical operations, clinical data management, and/or clinical technology roles within pharma/biotech/CRO/vendor environments.
• Experience with technology implementation on global studies at a sponsor, CRO, or vendor.

• Thorough knowledge of regulatory guidelines and global regulations (GCP/ICH, FDA/EMA/CHMP, 21 CFR Part 11, GxP validation), especially relating to digital/mobile health.

• Comfortable operating in a fast-paced, remote environment with travel (~25%).

Responsibilities

• Drive new business opportunities and revenue growth by positioning FIT solutions within sponsor strategies and Fortrea delivery models (FSO/FSP/SaaS).
• Own and execute pre-sales motions for priority opportunities: executive discovery, solution workshops, value mapping, pricing/value alignment inputs, and close-plan support in partnership with Sales/BD.
• Influence pipeline progression by creating compelling business cases that clearly articulate FIT ROI, value proposition, and differentiation.
• Maintain active coverage of strategic accounts and pursuits (e.g., account planning, stakeholder mapping, executive relationships) in close alignment with Sales leadership.
• Partner with key internal stakeholders during proposal development, early customer engagement, and bid defense to develop winning strategies and differentiated solution narratives.
• Build and deliver FIT-specific win themes (why Fortrea + why FIT + why now), including quantified outcomes where available (productivity, quality, speed, predictability).
• Support consistent, high-quality proposal content and messaging that clearly positions FIT as a differentiator in competitive pursuits.
• Identify, engage, and build strong relationships with key decision-makers at pharmaceutical companies, CROs, and biotech firms; operate credibly with C-suite and functional executives.

• Lead executive briefings and product demonstrations in partnership with Solution Consultants and Clinical SMEs; tailor demos and narratives to buyer personas and outcomes.

• Partner with Clinical Technology leadership to create differentiation and drive rapid market uptake of Fortrea solutions.
• As required, lead and develop direct reports/junior team members (hiring, coaching, mentoring, performance management) to scale commercial coverage and FIT adoption.
