VP of Sales & Marketing

Our client, a global events management company serving pharma, biotech, and healthcare organizations, is seeking a VP of Sales and Marketing to join their growing organization. You’ll own commercial growth end to end: building pipeline strategy, personally leading high-value pursuits, and closing multi-million-dollar service contracts with pharma, biotech, and healthcare clients. The work is relationship-led, and is built around long sales cycles that require patience, credibility, and in-person trust.

Location: Remote, with approximately 50% travel for client meetings, conferences, and industry events.

Compensation: Base pay between $150k-$200k, with OTE bringing this to $250k, and potential equity

What You’ll Do:

• Own and execute the company’s commercial growth strategy
• Personally drive new business development within pharma, biotech, and healthcare
• Build, manage, and close a long-cycle pipeline (6–12+ months) with regulated procurement buyers
• Lead complex, multi-million-dollar service deals ($1–2M average contract value)
• Act as a player-coach: leading by example while guiding sales efforts across the organization
• Partner with marketing leadership to direct demand generation and positioning (not execution)
• Represent the company at industry conferences, tradeshows, and client events

What You Bring:

• Proven experience selling services or events into pharma, biotech, or healthcare procurement
• Deep understanding of regulated, compliance-driven sales environments
• Demonstrated success closing complex, multi-year, multi-million-dollar contracts
• Entrepreneurial mindset with comfort operating in a growth-stage company
• High autonomy: you build your own pipeline, manage long cycles, and close without heavy structure
• Willingness to travel frequently and be visible with clients
