We are seeking an experienced Senior Proposals Manager to provide high-level support to our sales and operational teams and to play a central role in driving top-line growth. This role leads the Proposals function, ensuring the delivery of accurate, high-quality budgets and proposals through robust tools and processes.

Our customers range from top global pharmaceutical companies where you can work as an integrated team member on a world leading clinical program, to small biotechs that are taking their first steps in clinical development.
