Remote Pfizer Animal Health Jobs (NOW HIRING)

OUR TEAM:
The Applied Markets SBU is a small, high-impact team driving Promega's growth into specialized industry segments in Animal Health, Food Safety, Agriculture, and Environmental, where life science tools are reshaping how the world innovates, detects, validates, and ensures quality. We operate with significant autonomy, direct access to leadership, and the full backing of a privately held company that invests for the long term. Each team member owns their domain fully; there is no micromanagement, just clear strategy and the freedom to execute. We are collaborative without being codependent, and we bring genuine scientific curiosity to commercial work, which means the conversations we have with customers, partners, and regulators actually matter. If you want to build something real in markets that are still taking shape, this is the team to do it with.
YOUR ROLE:
The Animal Health industry is a relationship market, won through sustained field presence, scientific credibility, and trust built over years. The Strategic Collaborations Manager is the person who builds those bridges. You are not a product seller. You are a market maker, showing up at key industry conferences, walking the customer's lab, earning regulatory relationships, and connecting Promega's capabilities to problems the industry hasn't fully articulated or solved yet. You will build and steward relationships with global organizations including veterinary diagnostics leaders, animal health manufacturers, agricultural biotechs, and regulatory bodies, all of which require a trusted scientific partner willing to play the long game. Promega's AI layer handles the intelligence infrastructure, synthesizing market data, organizing account knowledge, and preparing briefings, so you can focus on what no tool can replicate: being present, building trust, reading the room, and seeing opportunity before it's obvious. If you have built a career on relationships that compound over time and want the autonomy to shape a market rather than just cover a territory, this is the role.
