Director of Business Development - Technology Solutions

Metrum Research Group is looking for an entrepreneurial Director of Business Development with deep expertise in modeling and simulation (M&S) and a strong understanding of modern technology to help accelerate adoption of Metworx—our next-generation platform for intelligent, compliant, and collaborative scientific computing.

This is not a traditional sales role. You’ll serve as a trusted advisor and strategic partner, guiding clients through how Metworx can transform their R&D workflows, reduce time to insight, and scale scientific computing across global teams. You’ll collaborate closely with scientists, modelers, and IT decision-makers to drive lasting engagement and long-term growth.

Total compensation range is $180K–$230K base salary and an 8% performance-based bonus.

• Partner closely with the TS client relationship coordinators (CRCs) to drive the full sales cycle from lead generation to deal closure.
• Engage prospective clients across pharma, biotech, and CROs, particularly teams focused on PK/PD, QSP, pharmacometrics, and biostatistics.
• Translate client needs into tailored value propositions for the Metworx platform.
• Articulate how Metworx supports GxP-compliant, AI/ML-enabled, and tool-flexible scientific computing.
• Demonstrate platform capabilities in a consultative, customer-relevant way.
• Collaborate with product, solutions, and customer success teams to ensure smooth technical handoffs and onboarding.
• Identify and cultivate new customer segments and partnership opportunities.
• Provide feedback from the field to inform product roadmap and marketing strategy.
• Represent the company at industry conferences, webinars, and customer forums.

• 10+ years in business development, sales, or customer-facing roles
• Background in modeling and simulation, pharmacometrics, or quantitative drug development is required
• Prior experience selling or supporting SaaS platforms, cloud services, or data science infrastructure is strongly preferred
• Entrepreneurial mindset with a passion for innovation and impact
• Ability to build relationships with scientific, technical, and business audiences
• Strong communicator who can simplify complex technical value into business outcomes
• Self-starter who thrives in fast-paced, cross-functional environments
• Ability to work both independently and as part of a highly capable team

• Experience working with platforms like NONMEM, Monolix, Stan, or R/Python in regulated settings
• Familiarity with cloud-native infrastructure (e.g., AWS, GCP) or scientific computing tools
• Exposure to GxP or 21 CFR Part 11 requirements

 A 4-year college degree (technical or quantitative science) or equivalent work experience with evidence of proficiency and achievement in software engineering,  infrastructure management and programming languages. Additional training, certification, and/or experience in virtualized infrastructure-related tasks is preferred. 

• Experience working in and across cross-disciplinary teams including engineering, systems administration, networking and security functions.
• Additional training and/or certification in virtualized infrastructure and information security are preferred.

The job frequently requires working at a computer terminal, standing or sitting, and the ability to operate the computer with proficiency.

The work environment is quiet with no adverse conditions.
