The role covers business development from business-strategy planning through proof of concept and commercialization. Depending on the assignment, responsibilities include sales, consulting, marketing, product development, project management, and organizational management.

Potential areas include business development for pharmaceutical companies; insurance and financial services; corporate health, wellbeing, and health insurance associations; new businesses with non-healthcare companies; and AI, data science, or DX-related ventures. The role operates in a healthcare and medical-big-data context that includes PHR, medical-institution DX, online consultations, clinical-trial DX, AI drug discovery, consulting, analysis, and DX-support services. JMDC also works with group companies and is exploring business opportunities in Singapore and other Asian countries.

Applicants must have consulting experience at a consulting firm or think tank, with approximately two or more years as a guideline. Manager experience at a consulting firm, experience in healthcare or finance-related companies, new-business development, M&A or PMI, AI/data science/DX, or founding or managing a business are welcome.
