Working as the face of the business, your responsibilities will include working out the best business development plans for products and services that combine biology and engineering, executing said plans, having consultative conversations with new clients and leading obtained projects. With these duties you will need to have a hands‑on scientific background in the biotechnology sector, ideally within biomanufacturing and/or synthetic biology.

You’ll be working with customers across the globe and often across multiple sites at once in this expansive role. It will be your responsibility to translate the needs of the customer and to relay this information to key people within the business.

The client is ideally looking for people who have experience within cellular agriculture, bio‑based chemical manufacturing, or more generally, biomanufacturing. Senior level experience or a step‑up in responsibility is welcomed.

This is a key role for the company, and you will be afforded the autonomy to really make this role your own. This autonomy will come with guidance from senior people in the organisation and a defined career path for you to follow. The company offers market‑leading, tailored packages to secure the right people for their roles, excellent training and development, profit sharing, and state‑of‑the‑art labs and workspaces for their scientists.
