? The Role

We are looking for a commercially strong and hands-on Business Development Leader who can build the B2B CMO/CDMO business from the ground up. This is not a conventional sales role.

- Acquire new CMO/CDMO and third-party manufacturing customers.
- Convert formulation/product enquiries into commercial manufacturing orders.
- Develop and manage strategic accounts and long-term customer relationships.
- Independently handle senior-level customer meetings, product discussions and commercial negotiations.
- Own pricing, MOQ, costing, quotations, proposals and commercial closure.
- Build relationships with nutraceutical, dietary supplement, healthcare and food-supplement brands.
- Work closely with R&D;, Production, QA, Regulatory,



Procurement and Supply Chain.
- Conduct market, competitor and opportunity analysis.
- Own revenue, current-client acquisition and business-development targets.
- Build, mentor and eventually lead the BD team, systems and processes.

⭐ What We Are Looking For

The ideal candidate should have:
- Strong experience in CMO/CDMO business development, preferably in nutraceuticals.
- Relevant pharmaceutical OSD experience may also be considered where contract manufacturing is a significant part of the business.
- Proven B2B contract / third-party manufacturing sales experience.
- Strong new-client acquisition track record.
- An active and portable network of nutraceutical / supplement brands and potential manufacturing customers.
- Strong relationships with founders, procurement leaders and product-development teams.
- Proven ability to take opportunities from enquiry → technical/commercial discussion → quotation → negotiation → manufacturing order.
- Strong understanding of pricing, MOQ, costing, margins, quotations and account economics.
- Domestic and/or international/export CMO/CDMO experience.
- Strong strategic and key-account management skills.
- Entrepreneurial mindset and ability to work closely with founders and senior management in a greenfield environment.
- Ability to identify high-probability manufacturing opportunities and avoid low-quality/non-convertible enquiries.

? Business Expectations

Candidates should have a demonstrated track record of driving approximately ₹35–50 crore in annual revenue, including individual and/or team-led business-development targets.



Success in this role will be measured by:

✅ Qualified domestic & international CMO/CDMO pipeline

✅ Strong founder/procurement/product-development relationships

✅ Repeatable BD process and account-management system

✅ Scalable BD team and organization

? Location & Mobility

? Compensation

Best-in-industry standards, aligned with relevant experience, CMO/CDMO exposure, customer network and demonstrated business contribution. A separate performance-linked variable may be structured based on revenue, new-client acquisition, account growth and overall business contribution.
