• Support complex enterprise pursuits by developing solution hypotheses, shaping proposals, identifying risks, pressure-testing scope, and aligning internal teams around a credible and compelling approach.
• Collaborate with Product and Partnerships to identify market needs, solution gaps, customer feedback, and opportunities to convert demand into scalable Datavant offerings.
• Create reusable go-to-market assets, including solution playbooks, discovery guides, use case narratives, customer-facing materials, objection handling, case studies, and sales enablement.
• Act as a bridge between commercial teams and technical, product, privacy, and delivery teams to ensure customer-facing solutions are compelling, credible, feasible, and operationally executable.
• Represent Datavant in strategic customer workshops, executive briefings, industry forums, conferences, and thought leadership opportunities.
• Stay current on trends shaping commercial pharma data strategy, including real-world data adoption, healthcare media networks, clean rooms, first-party data strategy, privacy-preserving collaboration, tokenization, AI-enabled analytics, and the evolving life sciences data ecosystem.

• Deep understanding of life sciences companies, especially biopharma organizations, and how they use data across commercial, medical, market access, analytics, and evidence generation functions.
• Experience supporting pre-sales, enterprise solutioning, strategic consulting, customer advisory, business development, or complex commercial partnerships with pharmaceutical or healthcare customers.
• Strong fluency in real-world data and linked data use cases, including how claims, EHR, lab, mortality, specialty pharmacy, patient services, consumer, digital engagement, and first-party enterprise data can be connected to support commercial business decisions.
• Strong commercial instincts, including the ability to identify high-value use cases, understand buying centers, shape value propositions, support revenue growth, and help advance complex opportunities.
• Ability to lead senior customer conversations, uncover business needs, frame solution options, and guide customers from broad ambition to concrete, executable use cases.
• Ability to translate complex technical, data, and privacy concepts into clear business language for commercial, medical, analytics, and executive audiences.
• Highly consultative, hands on, and collaborative, with strong ability to influence cross-functional teams.
• Excellent communication, presentation, analytical, and organizational skills.
• Experience with Google suite of productivity applications, including Sheets, Slides, and Docs, as well as Salesforce.com or similar CRM tools.
• Self-motivated, able to take initiative, work efficiently and independently, and operate effectively in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.
• Ability to travel for strategic customer meetings, workshops, and industry events.
