About the Role
We are seeking a proactive, high-performing sales professional to help expand our UK customer base. You will be responsible for driving revenue growth by promoting our portfolio across pharmaceutical, biotechnology, CRO, diagnostic, and academic sectors.
You will be the first sales hire, tasked with developing the market and, in time, building a team of your own. Our UK business currently grows organically through inbound demand alone — this is a genuine greenfield opportunity to build the market deliberately for the first time, with significant headroom and a commission structure designed to reward it. It is ideal for someone with a strong track record in life sciences sales who thrives in a dynamic, scale-up environment.
