If you have a natural flair for sciences (particularly biological or pharmaceutical) and an aptitude for presenting your knowledge in a customer facing training and delivery environment, this could be an ideal fit for you! With your knowledge on scientific activities related to Size Exclusion Chromatography and Gel Permeation Chromatography, you will assume responsibility for managing the technical and scientific activities for all sales sectors within the UK and Channel Partner territories. With a combination of laboratory analysis (full training given) and travel within the UK and overseas as required, you will be the technical and customer-facing expert on behalf of the products and organisation.

This role is ultimately accountable for internal and external customer satisfaction for the SEC / GPC product and both local and global sales sectors. A high sense of urgency and high degree of customer focus is essential, as is an ability to perform exceptional product demonstrations. Training will be provided but a natural flair for presenting is key!

Skills and Experience required:

This is a visible position and the customers' perception of the company is key. This role could be suited to a Graduate who is hungry to join a forward-thinking company and embrace training and follow a career path or alternatively somebody who has worked within a similar role.
