About you:
- Degree or equivalent scientific experience in a relevant life science discipline
- Approximately 2–5 years' commercial scientific sales experience, ideally within life sciences, laboratory products, research reagents, instrumentation or associated technologies
- Demonstrable experience developing customer accounts and generating new business
- Experience working to sales targets and managing a territory or defined customer base
- Ability to communicate credibly with scientific customers while maintaining a strong commercial focus
- Full UK driving licence and willingness to travel extensively across the territory, including occasional overnight stays
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Previous experience selling into pharmaceutical or biopharmaceutical R&D organisations and knowledge of protein sciences, protein purification, structural biology, crystallography, cryo-EM or molecular biology would be highly desirable.
This is not an entry-level or graduate sales position. We are looking for someone who already understands successful scientific selling and is ready to take greater ownership of a territory and develop larger pharmaceutical accounts.
The initial territory will primarily cover the South of the UK. As our pharmaceutical strategy develops, there may also be opportunities to support selected pharmaceutical accounts and commercial activities within Europe.
