Commercial Associate

Company: molecule

What You’ll Do:

  • Own follow-through on BD pipeline: track active deal workstreams across enterprise, academic, and biotech partnerships, ensure nothing stalls, and surface the right opportunities to leadership at the right time.
  • Manage and build investor relations: maintain relationships with 70+ existing investors through regular updates, slide decks, and follow-ups, and drive new investor relationships forward alongside the CEO and Head of Commercial.
  • Triage enterprise, pharma, and investor correspondence with sound commercial judgement.
  • Coordinate and prepare for high-stakes calls and meetings across time zones, ensuring the team walks into every conversation fully briefed.
  • Draft and refine investor communications, partnership proposals, and internal updates on behalf of the Commercial Team.
  • Build and maintain a commercial system: create structure around how BD opportunities are categorised, tracked, and reported internally (think: a lean CRM).
  • Coordinate cross-functional deal activity across organisations and teams, keeping everyone aligned.
  • Analyse the science behind partnerships: evaluate incoming opportunities with enough scientific literacy to triage what’s worth pursuing and brief leadership accordingly.
  • Join calls with partners and investors as a credible representative of Molecule when needed.

Who You Are:

  • Commercially hungry; you understand pipeline, follow-up, and what it takes to close (e.g. from tech sales at a startup, BD at a health-tech company, or self-taught commercial skills).
  • Not typically corporate; preferably with scrappy experience (biotech startup or similar) and looking for real ownership.
  • Organised and relentless about follow-through, ensuring relationships and deals don’t fall through the cracks.
  • A strong communicator, comfortable drafting board-level investor memos and speaking with lab partners or KOLs.
  • Thrives in complexity and in managing multiple priorities across deals, relationships, and internal coordination.
  • Global flexibility, ideally willing to spend the first several months in Berlin for onboarding and relationship-building with the core team.
