About the Role

Job title: Business Development Manager - Pharma & CRO Recruitment (Domestic)

Location: Dehradun/Hyderabad/Work from Office (Exceptional)

Type: Full Time

Company: Academically Global (Jobslly)

About Us

Jobslly is a healthcare-focused career platform under the Academically Global group, connecting doctors, nurses, pharmacists, and allied health professionals with verified job opportunities in India and abroad. We already have a 1M+ healthcare community and a strong pool of trained, job-ready talent from our licensing-exam and upskilling courses. What we're building now is the other side of the equation: real hiring relationships with the pharma companies, CROs, medtech and biotech firms who need this talent.

The Role

We're looking for someone who can go out and bring back hiring mandates, not someone who needs to build a candidate pipeline from scratch, because we already have that. Your job is to place our own upskilling and exam-prep graduates into real roles at pharma companies, CROs, medtech, and biotech firms across India. That means building company relationships and pulling in actual job requirements, then matching them against our existing talent pool.

This is fundamentally a relationship and requirement-generation role. The supply side (candidates) is already there - we need someone who can walk into pharma, CRO, medtech, and biotech companies, understand their hiring needs, and bring back real vacancies to fill.

What You'll Do

  • Build and own relationships with HR/talent teams at pharma, CRO, medtech, and biotech companies - turn these into active hiring mandates for our graduates

  • Gather and translate company hiring requirements into clear role specs our team can match against our existing talent pool and community

  • Work closely with our licensing-exam and upskilling teams so candidates are placement-ready by the time a mandate comes in

  • Track requirement-to-placement conversion and build a simple, repeatable process for requirement intake as volume grows

  • Represent Jobslly/Academically at industry events, pharma/CRO hiring circles, and healthcare recruitment networks to build a durable client base

What You Bring

  • 5-10 years in pharma/CRO/healthcare recruitment or B2B business development, ideally with real, demonstrable relationships across pharma, CRO, medtech, or biotech companies

  • A track record of acquiring hiring mandates, not just filling them, comfortable being the first point of contact with a company's HR/talent leadership

  • Existing network in pharma/CRO/biotech HR circles is a strong plus

  • Comfortable working lean and hands-on in an early-stage environment, this is a hunter role, not a back-office one

What We Offer

  • Direct access to a 1M+ healthcare community and an existing pool of trained, placement-ready candidates, most recruitment businesses spend years building this; you're starting with it already in place

  • Ground-floor ownership of our domestic pharma/CRO/medtech/biotech recruitment vertical

  • Competitive base + mandate/placement-linked incentives

  • You will work directly with Dr. Akram Ahmad, the Founder, to build and scale this vertical from 0 to 1, with the opportunity to build and grow your own team as the business expands.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about the process

Jobslly curates specialized corporate healthcare listings tailored for medical graduates seeking a career pivot. Instead of sifting through general medical job boards, doctors can use our platform to directly access high-paying non-clinical opportunities in Pharmacovigilance, Medical Writing, and Clinical Trial Management with top pharmaceutical companies and CROs. Most MBBS/BDS grads don't realise — clinical background is already enough to get into pharma. The problem is nobody explains this clearly. On Jobslly each listing shows salary range, fresher eligibility, and certifications worth getting before applying. Pharmacovigilance roles for example keep asking for RQAP-GCP. All this is on the listing itself, no separate research needed.
Yes. Jobslly features dedicated filtering for remote and hybrid healthcare roles, which are highly sought after by medical professionals looking for better work-life balance. Doctors can easily track and apply for verified work from home positions, such as Telehealth Consultants, Medical Chart Reviewers, and Drug Safety Associates, directly through the platform Real problem with remote medical jobs — half are fake, half are badly described. You join and realise it's a night shift for a US team nobody mentioned. Jobslly listings show shift timings, contract type, whether company gives equipment or WFH allowance. All upfront before you apply.
Generic job portals often bury specialized clinical roles under thousands of unrelated listings. Jobslly is purpose-built exclusively for the healthcare and health-tech sectors. We provide doctors with targeted career alerts for niche specialties, direct application routes to premium employers in major hubs like Mumbai and Bangalore, and real-time insights into medical salary benchmarks. Salary benchmark is something doctors switching careers genuinely need. No idea what number to quote, quote low, stuck with it forever. Jobslly shows pay ranges — by role, city, experience level. Career alerts are filtered by specialty and location so inbox isn't flooded with irrelevant stuff daily.
To protect medical professionals from recruitment fraud and unverified agencies, Jobslly operates a strictly vetted ecosystem. We exclusively partner with verified employers, prioritizing NABH-accredited hospitals, established health-tech innovators, and recognized multinational pharma brands so you can apply with complete confidence. Fake agencies, ghost listings, upfront fee scams — very common in medical recruitment, especially pharma and international roles. Jobslly doesn't allow unregistered agents on platform at all. Each listing shows actual audit date, not just an old generic verified badge. Suspicious listing — report button is there, compliance checks within 24 hours.
Yes. Backed by the Academically Global network, Jobslly goes beyond domestic job listings by providing access to structured International Placement Programs. We connect ambitious doctors, nurses, and clinical staff with credible, high-paying healthcare contracts in global markets like the UK, Australia, and the UAE, while outlining the necessary credentialing steps. UK needs PLAB, Australia needs AMC, UAE needs DHA or HAAD depending on emirate. Most doctors know this but the full picture — exam pattern, timeline, cost, official links — is scattered everywhere. Jobslly puts the credentialing roadmap directly on each international listing. Academically Global counsellors also available — people who've actually placed Indian doctors in these countries, know exactly where candidates get stuck.
Forget the assumption that only senior doctors make the big money. That's outdated. Right now, some of the best packages in Indian healthcare are going to people you wouldn't expect — Senior Medical Writers, Clinical Data Managers, Pharmacovigilance Specialists working with global pharma firms or CROs. These aren't rare unicorn jobs. They exist, they hire regularly, and the salaries are negotiable in ways hospital jobs rarely are. Most candidates just don't know to look for them.
Not all cities are equal on this front, and applying blindly wastes time. Bangalore is where health-tech and clinical research hiring is concentrated. Hyderabad is pharma country – manufacturing, QC, formulation, R&D. Mumbai and Navi Mumbai handle specialized hospital care, advanced nursing roles, and pharmacovigilance admin, medical writing, policy work all coexist there without one dominating the other. If you're open to relocating, knowing this upfront changes which jobs you even bother applying for.
Both. That's the honest answer. Legitimate remote roles in healthcare have existed long before anyone started calling things "hybrid." Medical Coders, Pharmacovigilance Associates, Telehealth Coordinators, Freelance Medical Writers — these positions have been hiring remotely for years through companies that are very much real. The fake ones almost always have one thing in common: they ask for money. Registration fees, document processing charges, security deposits — whatever the label, it's a scam. No actual employer takes money from a candidate before they join. That rule holds without exception.
EMR platforms, digital documentation tools, data tracking systems, AI-assisted reporting software. These aren’t “nice to have” anymore. They’re baseline. Clinical Knowledge is still the foundation but walking into an interview unable to navigate the systems the team uses daily is a problem. Candidates who are already familiar with these tools don’t need to be trained from scratch, and that matters when hiring managers are comparing two otherwise similar profiles.
Short answer: yes, and it's happening constantly. Long answer: it depends on what you want. If structured hours, no emergency calls, and a salary that doesn't plateau after three years sound appealing — corporate healthcare is worth your attention. Medical Writing, Drug Safety Review, Insurance Auditing, Health-tech Program Management — these roles specifically want people who understand clinical realities. A nursing degree or MBBS isn't a handicap here. It's often the reason you get the interview.
