Sales Development Representative (SDR) - Life Sciences
➡️ Have a degree or background in Life Sciences and want to apply your knowledge in a more commercial, client-facing role beyond the lab?
➡️ Excited to represent a leading AI-driven platform trusted by global pharma and biotech companies, staying close to cutting-edge science?
➡️ Are you confident, resilient, and motivated to succeed in a high-activity sales role where effort drives pipeline, progression, and earning potential? If this sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you.
Role Summary:
We have exciting opportunities for Sales Development Representatives to join PatSnap and drive new business growth within our Life Sciences vertical. This role is built for individuals with a Life Sciences background who wants to build a career in high-performance sales — using your curiosity, competitiveness, and communication skills to win new business. If you’re motivated by targets, progression, and uncapped earning potential, and want to develop into a top-performing salesperson, this is your opportunity. As an SDR, you’ll be on the front line of revenue generation — prospecting, engaging, and qualifying new customers across pharma, biotech, and medical devices.
You will:
- Take a hunter mindset to outbound — owning high-volume outreach across calls, email, and LinkedIn
- Use your scientific credibility to break into conversations with senior R&D and innovation leaders
- Create and qualify pipeline, turning cold prospects into real commercial opportunities
- Handle rejection, stay persistent, and consistently hit and exceed activity and pipeline targets
- Build the foundations of closing, influencing, and deal progression
- Partner with Account Executives to convert pipeline into revenue
This is a high-activity, target-driven sales role where success comes down to your drive, resilience, and hunger to win. If you bring the work ethic and mindset, the progression and earning potential are there to match.
This is a remote position based in the Phoenix area. This role supports Account Executives based in California and Texas and may require periodic in-person collaboration in the Phoenix area.
