• Channel partners across EMEA are built, onboarded and managed by you, including contracts, targets, enablement activities and partner programs (pricing/discounts, deal registration).

• At international trade shows, conferences and industry events, you represent the company with technical presentations, posters and live demos – including systematic lead follow-up afterwards.

• Complex quotations, proposals and tenders – including technical specifications, compliance aspects and contract negotiations – are managed by you in alignment with Legal and Finance, while you also develop and grow key accounts via strategic account plans and cross-/upselling initiatives, feeding market and customer insights into Product Management and Marketing.

• Bachelor’s degree in life sciences or a related field and at least 3 years of relevant experience in bioprocess or technical sales.
