Full job descriptionInside Sales & Applications Specialist – Cell Biology
Office based – Rural Buckinghamshire
Salary: ~£35,000 + benefits


Are you a Cell Biologist with hands-on laboratory experience looking to take your scientific knowledge into a more commercial, customer-facing career?


We are working with a specialist Life Sciences organisation supplying cell biology and recombinant protein products to researchers across academia, biotechnology and pharmaceutical research. They are looking for an Inside Sales & Applications Specialist to provide technical support to customers while developing new commercial opportunities.


The company isn’t a corporate giant. It’s a UK-based SME that has carved out a strong niche within the Life Sciences sector, developing a global customer base through high-quality products, service and technical application support.


You’ll be joining a small, dedicated and friendly team with a genuine focus on working together towards a common goal. You won’t be a number or a small cog in a large machine; you’ll be a valued member of the team where your contribution and achievements can have a real impact on the performance and growth of the organisation.


THE ROLE
This is a varied role combining technical applications support with outbound sales, helping researchers select, understand and troubleshoot products used across areas such as cell culture, cell signalling, protein expression and cell-based assays.


Your responsibilities will include:
*Providing technical support and troubleshooting for customers using cell biology reagents and recombinant proteins.
*Understanding customers’ research requirements and recommending appropriate products and solutions.
*Developing relationships with researchers through telephone and email contact.
*Proactively contacting prospective customers and developing new sales opportunities.
*Following up enquiries, leads and quotations.
*Building your knowledge of the company’s products, applications and customer base.
*Working closely with technical and commercial colleagues to resolve customer requirements.


ABOUT YOU
You will ideally have:
*A degree in Cell Biology, Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, Biotechnology or a related Life Science discipline (higher qualifications would be advantageous)
*A few years’ hands-on laboratory experience in cell biology, ideally including recombinant proteins, cell culture and/or cell-based assays.
*Strong scientific troubleshooting and problem-solving skills.
*Excellent communication skills and the confidence to discuss technical subjects with researchers.
*A genuine interest in developing a career in scientific sales and applications.
*A proactive approach and the confidence to engage in outbound customer contact.


Previous sales experience isn’t essential – this role would suit a scientist looking to make the transition from the laboratory into a commercially focused Life Sciences career, whilst continuing to use their scientific knowledge and technical expertise.


Due to the location, a UK driving licence and access to a vehicle is essential. This is an office-based position, with occasional requirements to meet customers and attend industry events and exhibitions.
