• Sell the company’s entire suite of services, including dietary supplements, cosmetics, protein powders, and R&D functions.
• Build and maintain relationships with senior decision-makers, moving from initial contact to deal closure.
• Report to the European Sales Director and work closely with teams in Germany, Italy, and other centralised functions.
• Attend industry events, client meetings, and travel as required to develop business.
Candidate Profile:
• Extensive experience in CDMO sales or a related field, with a focus on business development.
• A self-starter with a strong network of industry contacts, particularly with medium to large companies.
• Deep understanding of contract manufacturing, supply chain management, and product development.
• Strong negotiation and relationship management skills, with a proven ability to close deals.
• Fluent in French and English is required.
Why Join?
