Bornem, Belgique Lonza Temps plein

Associate Director, Business Development - Germany, Benelux - Small Molecules

Today, Lonza is a global leader in life sciences operating across three continents. While we work in science, there’s no magic formula to how we do it. Our greatest scientific solution is talented people working together, devising ideas that help businesses to help people. In exchange, we let our people own their careers. Their ideas, big and small, genuinely improve the world. And that’s the kind of work we want to be part of.

We have an opportunity for an Associate Director, Business Development, to join our team. Our preference is to have someone located in either Germany or Netherlands and fluent in either language, including English.

This role focuses on positioning Lonza Small Molecules in Germany and the Benelux, by building and nurturing a pipeline of opportunities, acquiring new customers and growing the business against clearly defined annual targets. The offering includes development and manufacture of drug substance, oral drug product intermediate and drug product, and the target customer base spans from Biotech to mid-sized Pharma. Like any other Business Development Manager, this position works closely with other market oriented functions such as Commercial Development, Technical Sales, Market Intelligence and Marketing to translate market trends and Customer needs into actionable plans.

**Key responsibilities**:
The Associate Director, Business Development will be primarily responsible for building and nurturing a pipeline of Opportunities, generating business and business growth on behalf of Small Molecules against yearly objectives in Northern Europe (Germany and the Benelux) and, opportunistically, Eastern Europe.

To achieve this, they will manage a high level of Customer interactions including frequent calls and visits to effectively promote Lonza’s technical capabilities - namely, development/manufacture of Drug Substance and oral Drug Product services, including new offerings as they become available - and to lead negotiations of varying levels of complexity. In particular, they will demonstrate the ability to build trust based relationships, from technical personnel (scientists) to executive management (C-suite) as appropriate, in sophisticated matrices involving Lonza peers as well as senior management.

The position also requires nurturing an internal network with Marketing and Market Intelligence, to develop and rollout targeted strategies that build Lonza’s position as the leading solutions provider, and with Commercial Development, Technical Sales and Operations, to formulate value propositions and winning proposals, and to monitor seamless execution at all levels. Constantly acting as a team player, they will masterfully involve and lead other key stakeholders at different stages of the sales cycle.

In addition, the Associate Director will:

- Proactively identify targets and priorities, as well as respond to inbound inquiries from multiple channels in a timely manner
- Develop and demonstrate strategic business awareness of the market to position and differentiate Lonza from competition
- Work with contacts, consultants, networking associations and Customers to spot trends and needs (known and unconsidered), formulate value propositions
- Lead stakeholders into non
- and technical discussions that result in the generation of technical proposals that are presented, defended and ultimately secured
- Build an ever growing community of valued Customers that act as spokespeople or reference on behalf of Lonza

Importantly they will continuously generate intelligence from own field knowledge and networks to refine existing territory plans; identify and follow market trends and potential to develop strategies and increase market share.

- A Master's degree in Life Sciences or Engineering (Chemistry, Formulation, Biochemistry, or related Engineering field)
- At least 5 years commercial experience in the Pharmaceutical, Biotech, CDMO or Life Sciences space.
