About the Role

Dimagi is seeking a highly experienced and results-oriented Senior External Consultant to drive strategic partnerships and secure clinical trial acquisition for our rapidly growing SureAdhere division. SureAdhere is a video-observed-therapy platform already making a significant impact by supporting medication adherence in care and clinical trial settings globally.

This is a part-time, independent contractor role (SOW-based), ideal for a senior business development or global health expert looking to leverage their extensive network and expertise without the commitment of a full-time employee position. The primary focus is on external engagement, revenue generation, and pipeline building within the pharmaceutical and biotech sectors. You will act as a senior representative for Dimagi, establishing trust, identifying opportunities, and negotiating deal closure to expand SureAdhere’s footprint across critical therapeutic areas.

Proposed Statement of Work (SOW)

The Consultant's work will be specifically focused on growing the SureAdhere clinical trial portfolio and pipeline, with a primary emphasis on securing new business. The specific tasks to be covered may vary based on need and the consultant’s skillset/capacity, but could include:

• Strategic Industry Engagement & Representation: Own and execute a proactive conference and events strategy (domestic and international) to identify, connect with, and deepen relationships across the pharma/biotech industry.
• Network Building: Build a robust, new network of decision-makers (e.g., in clinical development, R&D) in high-priority therapeutic areas.
• Targeted Business Development: Secure trials for the SureAdhere platform, with a core focus on HIV, Malaria, Neuroscience/Psychiatry, and Obesity therapeutics.
• Opportunity Execution: Qualify, prioritize, and drive opportunities from initial contact through to execution, including leading presentation and discovery calls that articulate the clinical and value propositions of SureAdhere.
• Contract Negotiation: Design, negotiate, and finalize business terms, Proof-of-Concept agreements, and Statements of Work (SOWs) for new clinical trials.
• Ad-Hoc Support: Provide targeted support and momentum-building for opportunities in other therapeutic areas, such as Tuberculosis (TB) and Dermatology, as needed.
• Pipeline Tracking: Maintain clear and accurate documentation of all opportunities, contacts, and account status to ensure proper attribution and pipeline transparency.

Relevant Skills and Experience

We are looking for a capable, independent, and motivated individual. The following areas represent expertise that we expect will be indicators of potential for success in this advisory and execution-focused role:

• Senior-Level Experience: 8+ years in strategic advocacy, management, or business development within the clinical research, pharmaceutical, or global health technology space.
• Conference & External Representation: Proven ability (4+ years) to represent an organization at a senior level, curate high-leverage engagements, and effectively articulate complex value propositions.
• People-First Engagement: Natural ability to build immediate rapport, credibility, and trust with diverse senior pharmaceutical stakeholders.
• Proven Deal Closer: A verifiable track record of leading and closing enterprise-scale business development deals or winning complex, large-scale grants.
• BD Process Optimization: Skilled at identifying and removing deal-cycle roadblocks and crafting creative pathways to advance and convert new opportunities.
• Startup Agility: Proven track record thriving in fast-paced, technology-driven environments where processes are rapidly evolving.
• Travel Flexibility: Willingness and ability to attend a necessary mix of domestic and international conferences and in-person engagements to sustain and grow the pipeline.
