Job Description We are looking for a VP/Senior Director of Business Development for the European region who will be reporting to our Group Chief Commercial Officer, and who will be primary in charge of the following areas:
Our Asset Exchange business: Selling AI supported solutions to accelerate In- and Out-licensing.
Out-license the products of our clients (reach out and term sheet negotiation)
Support of our Asset Management team with In-licensing products typically around IND stage and later the out-licensing of such asset’s ones POC in human has been obtained
The initial focus of the role will be acquiring assets for IN-Out-Licensing and commercialise them. In addition, the candidate will at least initially support our Asset Service business. This essentially means selling AI and data solutions for R&D on a fee for service basis.
In Asset Exchange for Out-licensing, we do a dossier enrichment to increase the attractiveness of the asset. Mostly this means identifying new indications, but other values such as the identification of synergistic combination products is also possible. We can also validate our hypothesis in the wet lab and we can go up to term sheet negotiations. For in-licensing we identify interesting assets using a holistic AI driven approach analyzing science, IP, probability of clinical success, and the market potential in a parallel approach (in contrast to a typical sequential approach). We can do these assessments at scale and can also find assets for indications that have not been developed for.
Most of our Asset Exchange deals are built in a risk-sharing manner. This means that, aside from some small delivery-related early fees, the revenues are dependent on the success of the licensing deal. Besides our Asset Exchange and Asset Management business, Partex also has a major Asset Service business line, which is about AI solutions for R&D, patient data and validation services. While this won’t be the focus of the role, we always appreciate cross selling of this business line.
This position will require you to travel for business and to regularly attend virtual meetings with your colleagues in the US and India.
Our company and its subsidiaries operate from different sites worldwide, including Germany, Switzerland, India, and the USA. This means you'll be able to directly contribute to high-leverage activities and interact with people from different backgrounds and regions. We are truly a diverse and global workforce.
This role has a high degree of built-in decision-making and accountability.
You’ll get a chance to shape the company’s direction, paving the way for the first fully-fledged digital pharmaceutical company. We are looking for team players!

Resilience
Excellent presentation and listening skills
Good English language skills are a must-have
