Help Shape the Future of Commercial Growth in Life Sciences

At ELRIG, we're bringing together the global life sciences community to accelerate drug discovery through collaboration, innovation and knowledge sharing.

As one of Europe's leading not-for-profit organisations, we're entering an exciting new phase of international growth and investing in the technology, systems and commercial infrastructure to support our future.

We're looking for an experienced Commercial Growth Lead to build the commercial foundations that will drive this next stage of growth. This is a rare opportunity to shape a brand-new role with genuine strategic influence across the organisation.

Why this role Is different

Most commercial systems roles focus on maintaining existing platforms. This role is about building something from the ground up.

You'll shape how ELRIG generates commercial opportunities, manages customer relationships and uses technology, automation and data to support sustainable growth.

Working across marketing, commercial and event operations, you'll implement CRM and marketing automation platforms, improve customer journeys, strengthen lead generation and deliver valuable commercial insight.

If you enjoy solving business challenges, connecting systems and creating smarter ways of working, this is a fantastic opportunity to make a lasting impact.

What You'll Be Doing

Who We're Looking For

We're looking for someone who combines commercial thinking with strong technical expertise and enjoys improving how businesses operate through technology.

You'll be equally comfortable developing long-term strategy while remaining hands-on with implementation and continuous improvement.

Essential Experience

• Experience implementing CRM and marketing automation platforms.
• Strong understanding of customer journeys, audience segmentation and lead nurturing.
• Experience integrating business systems and improving commercial processes.
• Strong analytical skills with experience producing dashboards and commercial reporting.
• Excellent project management and stakeholder engagement skills.
• Commercial awareness with the ability to identify growth opportunities through data and insight.
