Skills Required for Business Development

I am currently in Corporate FP&A at a relatively medium large market cap company.

I have been offered a business development role at bio-tech / Pharmaceutical company but I can't seem to get a clear picture of what it is I would be doing and what skills I would already need.

Any insight on Bus Dev analyst day to day and technical or hard skills I need for the role?
