Job description
Location: Remote US (preference for candidates located in the New York, New Jersey or Philadelphia areas, but we are open for the right person).
About us
At Ada, we envision a world where everyone gets the healthcare they need. Yet, millions remain undiagnosed and untreated due to the complexity of identifying rare and underrecognized conditions, even when effective treatments exist.
We’re changing that. Powered by leading AI and built by a team of physicians and clinical scientists, Ada helps people get answers faster, identifying those at risk and guiding them to the right care. Every successful journey makes us smarter and able to help more people.
If you’re passionate about transforming healthcare and ensuring no one goes undiagnosed, join us and be part of what’s next.
As part of our commitment to help navigate more patients to the right care, we have created a new position on our Commercial team for a Senior Director of Market Development, focused on AI and Patient Finding. In this role, you will utilize your deep-rooted connections in the pharmaceutical/life sciences industry (particularly within commercial teams) to drive revenue growth.
What you’ll do
- Draw on your extensive prior experience of patient identification strategies to identify, qualify, and close strategic partnerships with life sciences companies focused on accelerating time to treatment.
- Demonstrate a hunter’s instinct; be fuelled by metrics, motivated by outcomes, and unshakable in the face of challenges.
- Build and nurture strong relationships with senior decision-makers across the life sciences industry.

- Industry knowledge: Strong understanding of pharma commercial analytics, patient identification, and healthcare media/marketing strategy, with a deep understanding of how life sciences companies leverage real-world data, AI, and digital media to identify undiagnosed patients, engage them, and drive treatment adoption.
