We are partnering with a well-established and highly regarded provider of validation and monitoring equipment to support the expansion of their UK commercial presence. With a strong global reputation and significant success across Ireland, the business is now investing in UK growth, creating a newly established Business Development role with genuine greenfield scope.

This is an excellent opportunity for a driven sales professional to take ownership of a territory, represent premium technical products, and play a key role in shaping the company’s long-term success in the region.

The Role

As Business Development Manager, you will be responsible for building the UK market from the ground up. This is a hunter-focused position centred on new business generation, where you will identify opportunities, open doors with new customers, and develop long-term commercial relationships across the pharma and biotech sectors.

Operating as an individual contributor, you will manage the full sales cycle - from prospecting through to close - while collaborating with technical and international teams to ensure a high-quality customer experience.

Key Responsibilities

• Drive new business development across the UK within pharma and biotech organisations
• Identify, target, and win new accounts through proactive outreach and relationship building
• Manage the full sales cycle, including pipeline development, forecasting, and contract negotiation
• Develop and execute a territory strategy aligned with company growth objectives
• Maintain consistent CRM activity and reporting
• Partner closely with internal technical teams to support customer requirements
• Represent the organisation at industry events and networking opportunities

Candidate Profile

• Proven track record in new business sales, ideally within validation, qualification, or technical equipment
• Experience selling into regulated environments such as pharma or biotech
• Demonstrated hunter mentality with evidence of winning and developing new accounts
• Strong commercial acumen with a structured approach to territory planning and pipeline management
• Technical aptitude; a science or engineering background is advantageous
• Self-motivated and comfortable operating autonomously in a remote environment
• Minimum of approximately 5 years’ relevant B2B sales experience

Why Join?

• Newly created role with significant ownership and impact
• Opportunity to build and shape a high-growth UK market
• Represent a respected brand with premium, well-regarded products
• Fully remote working with strong organisational support
• Collaborative international environment with clear growth ambitions

If you are energised by building markets, winning new business, and working with high-quality technical solutions, this role offers the autonomy and platform to make a meaningful commercial impact.
