This role requires a proactive, strategic thinker who thrives in a competitive, fast-paced environment. If you are a driven professional with a passion for solving client needs, nurturing relationships, and securing high-value study opportunities, we want to hear from you.

At Boeson, we recognize that success in highly regulated, competitive industries translates across sectors. Whether your background is in clinical research, healthcare, or selling general contracting services, engineering, architecture, or other high-value projects, we value experience in environments where compliance, deadlines, and meticulous attention to detail are paramount. If you have a proven track record of driving business growth in these fields, you will bring a unique perspective to our clinical research team, where the stakes and competition are equally high.

The Business Development Manager will work across three key functions - finding, keeping, and doing - ensuring that we grow our pipeline, maintain strong relationships, and deliver on study commitments. Importantly, at study award, the responsibility will transition to our Executive Director for contract and budget management, allowing you to focus on nurturing and maintaining long-term relationships.

What You'll Do:
Finding

Proactively seek new business by identifying and soliciting opportunities through networking, marketing, and strategic outreach.

Build and maintain relationships with sponsors, CROs, and study networks to ensure a constant flow of opportunities.

Develop strategic narratives and compelling proposals that position Boeson as a top-tier choice for study awards.

Travel as needed to attend industry conferences, network, and build relationships, ensuring Boeson remains connected to key players and study opportunities in the clinical research space.

Keeping

Nurture relationships with existing partners, ensuring that Boeson stays at the forefront of study opportunities.

Maintain site-specific readiness by managing site operations, PI expertise, and therapeutic area coverage to ensure we can meet sponsor demands.

Ensure long-term satisfaction by providing continuous value through consultation, guidance, and high-level service to both sponsors and study partners.

Nurture study awards after securing the study, maintaining regular communication with sponsors and ensuring Boeson's ability to perform once the study is awarded.

Doing

Execute on awarded studies - manage feasibility responses, pre-selection visits, and study negotiations, ensuring smooth transitions from initial engagement to execution.

Contract and budget handoff : Once a study is awarded, responsibility for contract negotiations and budget management will transfer to the Executive Director. The BD Manager will continue to nurture the relationship, ensuring smooth operations.

Collaborate with site leadership to ensure all awarded studies are fully resourced and operationally prepared to meet deadlines and performance targets.

What Success Looks Like:

Proactively increasing awarded studies by effectively managing the full BD cycle - from finding new opportunities to ensuring successful study execution.

Building and nurturing key relationships with sponsors, CROs, and study networks, ensuring Boeson is positioned as the preferred site for study awards.

Maintaining site readiness with strategic planning, ensuring that each Boeson site has the operational capacity, PI expertise, and therapeutic area coverage to succeed.

Contributing to Boeson's overall revenue growth through a balance of strategic marketing, operational excellence, and high-value study acquisitions.

What You Bring:

3+ years of experience in business development, project solicitation, operations, or feasibility in highly regulated, competitive environments (e. g. , clinical research, built environment, or related fields), where compliance and regulations are key to success.

Exceptional communication skills - the ability to write compelling feasibility narratives, present proposals, and engage clients and partners with confidence.

A proactive, strategic mindset - you'll balance long-term growth efforts with day-to-day execution, focusing on high-impact activities while ensuring immediate needs are met.
