This is a unique opportunity to work at the nexus of science, data, and strategy in one of the industry’s fastest-growing sectors.

  • Leverage research outputs to support marketing campaigns, graphics, and thought leadership placement tailored to client needs.
  • Build scalable templates and tools that enhance service delivery across geographies.

Life Sciences Industry Intelligence

  • Monitor companies in the biotech, medtech, and pharmaceutical sectors—from early-stage startups to public firms—tracking funding milestones, clinical pipelines, partnerships, and expansions.
  • Identify real estate decision inflection points (e.g., IPOs, new clinical phases, M&A activity) and align those with broker outreach and opportunity pipelines.
  • Maintain and regularly update a curated list of strategic targets to support CRM integration and proactive client engagement.
  • Translate complex industry developments into relevant real estate implications for internal and external audiences.

CRM Strategy, Pipeline Tracking & Business Enablement

  • Leverage Savills Salesforce environment to track target companies, contacts, and opportunities aligned with life sciences growth triggers.
  • Maintain detailed and dynamic CRM records to reflect company stage, activity history, strategic touchpoints, and geographic expansion status.
  • Collaborate with brokers and marketing to execute targeted outreach campaigns based on funding events, clinical milestones, and relocation trends.
  • Develop dashboards and reports that visualize pipeline health, deal progress, and prospect engagement across key geographies.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree required; advanced degree (MBA, MS, PhD) or relevant certifications preferred.
  • 2–6 years of experience in life sciences, research, management consulting, or corporate strategy.
  • Deep familiarity with biotech, pharma, and/or medtech industries including R&D pipelines, funding dynamics, and commercialization paths.
  • Exceptional analytical skills with the ability to distill complex data into strategic insights.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills; experience writing reports or market commentary is a plus.
  • CRM platform experience (Salesforce) is preferred.
  • Highly organized, detail-oriented, and motivated to work in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment.
