Requirements
Requirements
  • A track record of structuring and closing large, complex, multi-year commercial deals, not transactional orders
  • An advanced degree in genetics, genomics, or a related field, and/or an MBA, with 5+ years in the life sciences, genomics, or biopharmaceutical industries
  • Fluency in the AI and data ecosystem as it applies to biology. You understand how frontier labs, infrastructure providers, and data partners think about models, compute, and data access, and you can build a commercial relationship with a technical, AI-driven partner rather than only a traditional life sciences buyer. This includes familiarity with data licensing and with how large-scale data is used to train models, including virtual cell and tissue models
  • Understanding of drug discovery and development, including how AI and multiomic data feed drug programs and where commercial value is created across the pipeline. Large biopharma business development experience is a strong asset
  • Market development experience. A record of creating and growing demand in new or emerging categories, not just closing in established markets
  • Scientific and technical fluency in genomics, single-cell, spatial biology, and NGS, enough to hold credibility with both research and commercial counterparts
  • Experience with population-scale genomics (national genome programs, biobanks, or large cohort studies) and with grant-funded or public-private consortia and their funding mechanisms is strongly preferred
  • Creativity in deal design. The ability to build commercial structures that do not yet exist for opportunities outside the standard playbook
  • Strong analytical, project management, and organizational skills, with sound business judgment
  • Strong collaboration and communication skills, shown by working cross-functionally and championing a business case with senior management
Job Responsibility

  • Build the commercial framework for partnerships. Define ideal partnership terms, lifetime value modeling, and the target partners for each initiative
  • Source, structure, and close deals. Negotiate agreements that create value against 10x's strategic and financial objectives
  • Own and grow the partnerships you build. Manage the largest strategic relationships post-signing
  • Work with the senior leadership team to triage inbound partnership opportunities, assess fit, and decide where to invest
