Aerospace Business Development Remote Jobs in Kansas

Description

 Purpose

The Director of Clinical Business Development owns JCCT's study pipeline from identification through award: building and deepening relationships with sponsors and CROs, leading feasibility and proposal responses, negotiating study awards, and directing the inside sales function. This role converts JCCT's reputation as one of the best clinical research sites in the United States into a predictable, growing flow of trial awards across our therapeutic areas.

Key Responsibilities

Revenue & Pipeline Ownership:

• Own the study award pipeline end-to-end: targeting, qualification, pursuit, proposal, negotiation, and close - with accountability for an annual signed-award target
• Build and maintain named relationships with sponsors, CROs, and site-selection decision-makers across JCCT's target therapeutic areas
• Lead feasibility and RFI/RFP responses in partnership with site operations, ensuring every commitment made to a sponsor is one our sites can deliver
• Negotiate study budgets and award terms in partnership with Finance
  

Market & Competitive Strategy

• Maintain deep knowledge of competitor sites and networks; build and refine competitive playbooks and objection handling that raise JCCT's win rate
• Analyze market trends, sponsor pipelines, and emerging therapeutic-area opportunities to direct targeting and conference strategy
• Refine JCCT's value proposition and sales materials with Marketing; represent JCCT at industry conferences and sponsor meetings
  

Leadership & Cross-Functional Orchestration

• Direct and develop the inside sales function - lead generation, qualification standards, territory management, and CRM discipline
• Build strong internal relationships with site teams; communicate market intelligence and changing customer direction to leadership
• Maintain rigorous CRM hygiene and report pipeline status, forecast, and win/loss analysis to the CEO monthly
• Coordinate execution with Operations, Regulatory, Finance, Marketing, and Delivery so awarded studies onboard seamlessly
  

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in business, Life Sciences, or related field, OR equivalent combination of education and experience; advanced degree a plus
• Typically, 6-8+ years of business development experience in clinical research, healthcare, or life sciences, including direct sponsor/CRO relationship ownership - site-side or site-network experience strongly preferred
• Documented track record of securing clinical trial awards or comparable revenue against a quota
• Working knowledge of clinical trial operations, feasibility, and sponsor expectations - enough to sell only what sites can deliver
• Experience negotiating study budgets or commercial contracts; CRM fluency required
• Progression governed by the JCCT competency framework - advancement to VP requires demonstrated competency, not tenure
  

Travel And Physical Requirements

• Domestic travel up to 25% (conferences, sponsor meetings, site visits)
• Prolonged periods at a computer; occasional lifting up to 15 lbs (conference materials); ability to present in office, conference, and virtual settings
