The Company

Inoviv’s mission is to generate novel molecular insights that transform drug development and healthcare globally. Considering that 60% of therapeutics don’t work and over 92% of clinical trials fail, the losses to the patient and drug development communities are staggering. Inoviv is changing the landscape with our novel proteomics solutions, offered as a service, effectively translating discovery findings to actionable targeted assays, applicable in clinical trial settings. We do this by using our unique ability to rapidly develop novel quantitative assays in regulated environments at low to high-plex, providing a unique molecular signature of each patient’s disease, using mass spectrometry as our core technology, supporting end-to-end service from sample intake, to preparation, to development, to bioinformatics processing. As we work with clients using Inoviv’s proprietary pre-validated services as well as the development of bespoke multiplexed biomarker offerings, we are reshaping how research into therapeutics is conducted.

The Role

At Inoviv, we are seeking a motivated and talented Life Sciences Business Development person to cover the State of Massachusetts in the United States.
