About the role

Direct a newly built partnership function to engage the life sciences ecosystem, shaping partnership strategy and deal architecture for Precision Neuroscience’s neurotechnology.

Responsibilities

  • Develop and own a pipeline of strategic partnerships with organizations across the life sciences and healthcare landscape end to end.
  • Structure and negotiate complex collaboration, researching, and licensing agreements, including the commercial terms, governance model, and rights allocation.
  • Work closely with cross functional teams to design partnership models that are scientifically sound, operationally executable, and contractually clean.
  • Translate technically sophisticated work into a clear commercial narrative for senior external audiences, and carry the narrative into conferences, partners meetings, and execution conversations.
  • Advise company leadership on partnership strategy, deal architecture, and where to concentrate effort.
  • Define how a partnership function operates at a company at our stage- the process, the pipeline discipline and the internal interfaces.

Qualifications

  • 8+ years in business development, alliance management, corporate development, or external innovation, with substantial time in biopharma or in an organization partnering with biopharma research and development.
  • A demonstrated track record of closing complex, multi-stakeholder agreements where the subject of the deal was a technology, platform, or scientific collaboration rather than a finished commercial product.
  • Deep understanding of how research and development organizations in life sciences evaluate, govern, and adopt new approaches — including who sponsors decisions, who blocks them, and how long the process takes.
  • Deal structuring: term sheets, milestone structures, field-of-use considerations, and rights allocations.
  • The ability to engage credibly with in scientific and clinical experts, hold your own in a technical conversation, and know when to bring in a specialist.
  • Comfort with ambiguity and genuine enthusiasm for an early-stage environment.
  • Background in neuroscience, neurology, or a related therapeutic area is a strong plus.
  • Experience building partnership or business development function.
