Full Job Description
Location: New York, NY (Hybrid - 50% in-office / 50% remote)

Experience: 3+ Years

Requirements
  • 3+ years of SDR or outbound prospecting experience, with a track record of exceeding targets of booking qualified meetings that converted to closed deals
  • Life sciences prospecting experience; RWD/RWE familiarity strongly preferred
  • Demonstrated ability to qualify leads rigorously before pushing it down the funnel - we need people who maximize the team's time & opportunities
  • Strong CRM skills and experience with AI-driven prospecting tools
  • Preference for NYC-based; EST or CST timezone required
What you will do
  • Own top-of-funnel outreach end-to-end: build prospect lists, write and execute multi-touch outbound sequences, and relentlessly work your pipeline until you get a meeting
  • Lead the first 1-2 discovery calls with prospective biopharma and biotech clients to qualify the opportunity, understand the research question, and assess fit before bringing in your Partnerships Director to go deeper
  • Develop a working understanding of Novellia's registry assets, data capabilities, and differentiators so you can hold a credible scientific and commercial conversation with HEOR, RWE, and Medical Affairs stakeholders
  • Maintain rigorous CRM hygiene. Every account, contact, activity, and next step should be logged so nothing falls through the cracks and your pod lead always has full visibility
  • Coordinate across internal teams (Client Solutions, Legal, Finance, and Leadership) to respond quickly to scoping requests, patient cohort definitions, MSA/SOW processes, and pricing. Speed matters in competitive deals.
  • Support your Partnerships Director on active deal flows, follow-ups, proposal prep, and meeting materials so deals move efficiently from qualification to close
  • Track and report on your prospecting metrics weekly, including meetings booked, conversion rates, and pipeline coverage, and bring a point of view on what is working and what needs to change
  • Stay current on the biopharma RWE landscape, competitive intelligence, and the disease areas in your pod's focus so your outreach is informed and resonates
What great looks like
  • Relentless, high-volume prospector who doesn't take no for an answer - most of our prospects haven't heard of Novellia yet, so this person needs to build credibility from scratch on every outreach
  • Highly organized and detail-oriented; our deal volume is high and things fall through the cracks without strong follow-through
  • Clear communicator - verbal and written - who can quickly articulate Novellia's value prop and differentiators in cold outreach
  • Comfortable working cross-functionally in a fast-moving, small-team environment
  • Self-directed and doesn't need hand-holding to fill a pipeline
Benefits & Perks
  • Equity in Novellia
  • Medical, dental, and vision coverage
  • 401(k)
  • Flexible time off
  • Wellness stipend
  • Up to 12 weeks of parental leave
  • Up to $115k base salary + 50% of salary as a commission
