About The Company
Sciom Limited is growing quickly, and we’re looking for someone who wants to grow with us. We’re a UK-based life sciences services company supporting clients across Pharmacovigilance (PV), CDMO support, Regulatory Affairs (RA), Compliance Management and Validation.
Our clients include pharmaceutical, biotech and healthcare organisations around the world. They choose us because we combine scientific expertise with a practical, hands-on approach - delivering solutions that are compliant, reliable and genuinely useful across the full product lifecycle. As we expand into new regions and strengthen our global presence, we’re looking for a Business Development Manager who can help us build strong partnerships, open new markets and drive commercial growth across the UK, EU, US, Canada and beyond.
This isn’t a “steady state” role. It’s ideal for someone who enjoys autonomy, thrives in a scale-up environment and wants to play a meaningful part in shaping the future of a growing organisation.

Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
