Job description

Business Development Consultant – Drug Delivery Devices – Cambridge

We are seeking a Business Development Consultant to drive new business and take ownership of Programme Management activities for the development of next‑generation Drug Delivery Devices.

Based in Cambridge, you will lead multidisciplinary teams of engineers, scientists and physicists who are developing industry‑disrupting medical technologies, with a strong focus on Drug Delivery innovation.

Alongside managing programmes, you will remain hands‑on during project delivery, working closely with the team. Part of your remit will also include supporting and developing junior colleagues, so experience mentoring or peer‑managing others would be highly advantageous.

You will have begun your career in the Medical Devices sector as an engineer, designer, scientist or in another role where you were directly involved in developing new devices from concept. You will then have transitioned into a commercially focused position such as Business Development or Sales.

This role centres on selling services and expertise rather than a physical product. Key skills include Business Development, Programme Management, Leadership and R&D Design experience.

The organisation offers an excellent salary and benefits package, enabling you to focus on delivering high‑impact work. Benefits include enhanced pension, life assurance, medical insurance and a range of additional perks expected from a larger, well‑established company.

Candidates I have previously placed with this organisation have enjoyed exceptional career and skills development. Several have even gone on to lead spin‑out ventures – a rare and exciting opportunity.

I anticipate strong interest in this position, so if it aligns with your experience, I recommend applying promptly.

To explore this opportunity further, contact Andrew Welsh, Director of Medical Devices, Biotech and DeepTech Recruitment at Newton Colmore, on (phone number removed). Alternatively, submit your CV and a member of our team will be in touch to discuss next steps.
