  • 5+ years of business development or sales experience in the life sciences sector, ideally within a CRO or preclinical services provider.
  • Strong understanding of in vivo and in vitro models and how to communicate scientific value to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

  • What’s on Offer :

  • A key commercial role within an agile and fast-scaling CRO with a high-quality scientific reputation.
  • Strong autonomy and visibility within the organization.
  • Competitive compensation, commission, and performance-based incentives.
