About the Role

We are hiring a Senior Business Developer/Architect remote to lead our pharma software innovation projects from idea to go-to-market and growth.

• Run interviews, experiments, and market tests to validate problem/solution fit and customer willingness to pay.
• Define MVP scope and success criteria; prioritize features and manage backlogs when acting as product lead.

• Proven track record launching or scaling new products/businesses — ideally with responsibility for business models, P&L thinking, or early sales.
• Strong quantitative skills: financial modeling, unit economics, KPI design and analysis.
• Product competency: experience defining MVPs, writing user stories, prioritizing backlogs, and working with engineering/design teams.
