Job description

Overview

Sales Specialist – Genomics & Life Sciences | Melbourne

Where science meets commercial impact.

Are you a scientist at heart but craving a role that lets you get out of the lab and make a tangible difference? Here’s your chance to join one of Australia’s most trusted and respected life science partners — a company that’s been empowering research and discovery for over 10 years.

Why this role is special

• You’ll represent an innovative, globally sourced portfolio of products powering Genomics Research, NGS, PCR/qPCR, single-cell analysis, and more.
• You’ll be supported by an exceptional, tight-knit team who genuinely care about each other’s success.
• You’ll receive comprehensive training and mentoring — perfect if you’re ready to step out of the lab and into a sales career that still speaks your scientific language.

This is not a transactional sales job — it’s a consultative, relationship-driven role where you’ll help researchers, hospitals, and diagnostic labs solve complex challenges and advance discovery.

About the opportunity

As a Sales Specialist (Genomics & Life Sciences), you’ll manage and grow a portfolio of customers across Victoria, blending your scientific expertise with commercial savvy.

You’ll:

• Develop trusted partnerships with key customers and KOLs across research and clinical settings.
• Drive business growth across an innovative genomics workflow portfolio — from NGS prep to single-cell analysis.
• Collaborate with product specialists and management to create tailored solutions for your customers.

What we’re looking for

• A degree in Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, or a related field.
• Hands-on genomics or NGS lab experience — you know the workflow, the pain points, and the excitement of a successful run.
• Sales or customer-facing experience is a bonus — but if you’ve got the passion, drive, and communication skills, we’ll teach you the rest.

Known for:

• ✅ Our innovative and diverse product range from leading international brands
• ✅ A culture of integrity, curiosity, and collaboration
• ✅ The chance to work alongside people who genuinely love science and helping others succeed

Whether you’re a scientist ready to take your first commercial step, or a sales professional ready for your next big chapter this is the perfect mix of purpose, innovation, and career growth.
