Your Responsibilities

About the Role

We are looking for a proactive, entrepreneurial individual to help grow CENTOGENE’s presence within the Boston life sciences ecosystem. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys initiating conversations, building relationships, identifying unmet needs, and turning ideas into tangible business opportunities. You will act as an incubator of new opportunities, engaging with pharmaceutical companies, biotechnology firms, and service providers—including CROs and central laboratories. Working alongside the Business Development representative, account owners, and scientific teams, you will help translate meaningful client conversations into tailored service solutions, proposals, and ideas for new products and offerings. Reporting directly to the Global Head of Pharma Business, you will combine lead generation and local networking with consistent follow-up on existing client relationships.

Key Responsibilities

  • Create opportunities proactively: Identify prospective clients, initiate outreach, and explore how CENTOGENE’s capabilities could address their needs.
  • Build a strong local network: Engage with Boston’s life sciences community through industry events, innovation hubs, professional associations, and direct client meetings.
  • Turn conversations into solutions: Understand client challenges and work with internal experts to shape relevant service concepts and actionable commercial opportunities.
  • Help incubate new offerings: Bring market insights and client feedback to the team to support the development of new service packages, products, and partnership models.
  • Collaborate on proposal development: Work alongside the Business Development representative and relevant account owners to translate client needs into tailored service solutions, contribute to proposals, and coordinate follow-up to advance opportunities toward closure.
  • Develop existing relationships: Follow up regularly with local clients, identify additional needs, and coordinate engagement with the relevant account owners.
  • Take ownership of follow-through: Maintain accurate CRM records, track next steps, and ensure promising conversations progress.
  • Collaborate with scientific, proposal, and delivery teams to ensure proposed solutions are relevant and feasible.

  • A practical, action-oriented individual who follows through and turns ideas into concrete next steps.
  • A collaborative colleague who can work independently while drawing on the expertise of others.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in life sciences, business, marketing, or a related field.
  • Zero to two years of relevant experience; recent graduates with internships, entrepreneurial projects, or strong networking experience are encouraged to apply.
  • Strong communication, organization, and interpersonal skills.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
