Job Description

Are you interested in innovation and sustainability?

Are you keen on technology and curious about how people, ideas, and technologies from all corners of the earth come together to create life-saving medical devices, instruments, diagnostics, and healthcare solutions?

Do you want to help international entrepreneurs bring their ideas to life with some of the largest brands in China, and play a role in helping Chinese healthcare companies develop ground-breaking products?

If that’s yes to all three, you may be who we are looking for to join our team.

• You’ll work alongside a diverse group of 140+ business development consultants with a deep specialism in Asia. Over 34 years in the business, we’ve helped more than 1,500 Western tech startups and scaleups establish and grow in Mainland China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia – generating upwards of $800 million in revenues for our clients.
• We’re focused on the technologies and ideas that are helping to solve the world’s social and environmental challenges. And we’re growing our Medtech & Life Sciences team in Shanghai. So, if you think you’re up for the challenge, read on – and apply.

What you'll be doing

• You’ll be working with our international clients from high-growth sectors such as biotech, diagnostics, pharma, medical devices, equipment, and many more.
• You’ll be the on-the-ground extension of your client’s business development departments, with an overarching goal of developing and implementing the right growth strategies in the Chinese market.
• You’ll be managing the entire sales and licensing cycle – from initial lead generation to outreach, negotiation, closing deals, and account management.
• In your day-to-day, you’ll be identifying, meeting, pitching to, and gathering crucial feedback from your clients’ potential customers and partners in China, developing a sales funnel, and fine-tuning the market strategy.
• You’ll be working closely with your clients and providing them with key progress indicators in the form of meeting notes, reports, and sync calls.
• When the time is right, you will arrange for your clients to visit China. You’ll be their local expert – taking them to key customer meetings, interpreting, and providing the incredibly important cultural context to business conversations.

If that sounds like the career path for you, get in touch and we hope to see you at an interview soon!
