OUR MISSION

WHAT’S ON OFFER

For 30 years, the Life Sciences industry has relied on a static analytic, consultant-led model for sales and marketing effectiveness. This approach relies on “point-in-time” snapshots that start decaying the moment they are delivered, leading to billions in wasted spend on the wrong HCPs and missed patient windows. At ODAIA, we are making this antiquated model obsolete. We are evolving our Go-To-Market (GTM) motion into a consultative, outcome-driven model, shifting from a transactional SaaS vendor to a Transformation Partner.

Reporting to the Managing Principal, the Client Director is responsible for driving new business growth and expanding strategic partnerships across mid-market and enterprise pharma organizations. At ODAIA, we are moving beyond traditional SaaS. This role requires you to lead with a consultative, insight-driven approach – partnering closely with clients to understand their commercial strategy, challenge conventional thinking, and architect solutions that materially transform performance.

You will own the full sales lifecycle while operating within a high-performance pod structure built on shared accountability and collective success. You are a proven seller who combines the discipline of enterprise sales execution with the curiosity and commercial instincts of an account strategist – someone who knows that the best deals are built on trust, insight, and measurable outcomes.
