EPAM Systems brings together capabilities that few firms can match: AI and generative AI, cloud engineering, data and analytics, platform modernization, cybersecurity, and customer experience - all built to handle the complexity and compliance demands that define the pharmaceutical and life sciences industries.
This is a role for a hunter. A relationship builder who also knows how to close. Someone who carries genuine credibility inside pharma and life sciences organizations, knows the players, understands the pressures they're under, and can walk into a room and immediately speak their language. You'll come in with a network, activate it, and grow it - while never losing your appetite for the next logo.
There's no team to manage here. What there is: a world-class services portfolio, strong internal support from some of the best engineering and consulting talent in the industry, and a real greenfield opportunity in a vertical that is in the middle of a once-in-a-generation technology transformation. If that sounds like the kind of platform you've been looking for - and you have the track record to back it up - we'd love to hear from you!
This is a remote role with approximately 25% travel to engage clients and internal stakeholders across the US.
