Join SciMed and help shape the future of analytical science.
Are you passionate about analytical instrumentation, scientific problem solving and building strong customer relationships?
SciMed is looking for an enthusiastic and commercially minded Product Manager to lead the growth of our Analytik Jena and SYKAM product portfolios across the UK and Ireland.
This is an exciting opportunity to work with two globally recognised manufacturers of analytical instrumentation, supporting laboratories across academia, industry, environmental testing, pharmaceuticals, food, chemicals, energy and research.
As Product Manager, you will become the technical and commercial expert for your product range, working closely with customers, suppliers, our sales team and marketing department to develop new business opportunities, provide technical guidance and deliver outstanding customer support.
If you're looking for a varied role that combines science, technology, business development and customer engagement, we'd love to hear from you.
About SciMed
SciMed is one of the UK's leading suppliers of scientific instrumentation, laboratory equipment and analytical solutions.
For more than 45 years we have partnered with world-leading manufacturers to provide laboratories throughout the UK and Ireland with innovative technologies backed by exceptional technical support and applications expertise.
As an employee-owned business, we believe our people are our greatest strength. We invest in training, encourage professional development and provide our employees with the freedom to make a genuine impact within the business.
About the Role

You'll become the face of the Analytik Jena and SYKAM product ranges throughout the UK and Ireland, supporting both existing and prospective customers throughout the entire sales journey.
Working closely with our Sales Director, Technical Support Engineers, Marketing Team and international supplier partners, you'll be responsible for developing product strategy, identifying market opportunities and helping laboratories find the right analytical solution for their application.
You'll spend your time working from home, visiting customer laboratories, attending exhibitions, delivering product demonstrations, supporting installations, providing technical presentations and collaborating with suppliers to ensure SciMed continues to grow within these exciting markets.
