Job description

Internal Sales Executive - Life Sciences

Birmingham 28,000- 30,000 + 25%

Are you a Life Sciences graduate with a commercial mindset and looking to build a career in scientific sales?

Pperhaps you already have some sales or customer-facing experience, or you know that your personality and strengths lie in talking to people, building relationships and spotting opportunities rather than working in the lab.

We're working with a well-established and growing scientific business specialising in laboratory equipment and consumables. They're looking for an ambitious Internal Sales Executive to join their Birmingham team.

This is a brilliant opportunity to develop your commercial skills, learn from an experienced sales team and build a long-term career within the scientific sector.

What you'll be doing

• Manage and grow your own portfolio of existing life science customers
• Proactively speak with customers to understand their requirements and identify opportunities
• Develop existing accounts through cross‑selling, repeat business and increased engagement
• Reconnect with lapsed customers and build those relationships
• Research and approach prospective customers to generate new business
• Qualify inbound and outbound leads and identify the best next step
• Arrange qualified appointments for the field sales team
• Prepare and follow up quotations
• Use customer and sales data to spot commercial opportunities
• Keep CRM records and pipeline activity up to date
• Work closely with Field Sales, Product Specialists, Marketing and Customer Service

What we're looking for

• A degree in a Life Sciences discipline - essential
• Confident and comfortable speaking with customers on the telephone
• Proactive, enthusiastic and commercially minded
• Naturally curious, with the confidence to ask good questions and build relationships
• Ambitious and motivated by achieving results
• Organised and comfortable managing multiple customers and opportunities
• Positive, coachable and keen to learn
• Previous sales, telesales or customer‑facing experience would be advantageous, but isn't essential
• Experience within laboratories, academia, biotech or another life science environment would also be beneficial

What's on offer

• 28,000- 30,000 basic salary
• 25% OTE
• Office-based role in Birmingham
• 25 days holiday + bank holidays + Christmas shutdown
• Structured induction, training and ongoing development
• Friendly, supportive and collaborative team culture

If you have a Life Sciences degree, some solid sales experience and the ambition to take your career into the field, we'd love to hear from you.
