Job description

Meet Life Sciences | London Area, United Kingdom (Hybrid)

Have you hit the ceiling in your current sales role? Are you graduating and uncertain of your next step? Are you fluent in German and English and eager to join a vibrant, city-based business where you can make a meaningful impact?

Look no further...

We are a Global Talent Solutions provider, specialising in Life Sciences. Founded in London, with offices now in New York City, San Francisco, San Diego, and Raleigh, we partner with leading organisations across the Medical Device, Pharmaceutical, Biotech and Contract Research Organisations to deliver customised talent strategies.

This is a hot desk opportunity, meaning you'll join an established, high-performing market with existing client relationships, repeat business and live vacancies from day one. Rather than building a desk from scratch, you'll receive hands‑on coaching from experienced leaders while developing your own client base and candidate network within one of our most successful specialist markets.

As you progress, we offer additional training designed for senior‑level roles, as well as management development programmes for those interested.

What we can offer you

• Ambitious, uncapped commission structure
• Meet DNA Programme – award‑winning training
• Fantastic global career progression opportunities – reach Manager level within 2.5 years
• Buzzy, open and team‑orientated working environment
• Clear targets and objectives
• Monthly competitions, Top Biller Awards and Champagne Awards
• Company pension scheme
• Personal Days
• Birthday off
• One week working from anywhere
• Subsidised gym membership
• Monthly Achiever 5* Lunch Clubs
• Super Lunch Clubs
• Incentives including trips to St Lucia, Monaco and Tulum!

Activities

• Take direction from the Recruitment Manager and Division Director, completing tasks efficiently and to a high standard.
• Create and work to detailed daily plans, prioritising key tasks to maximise productivity.
• Build relationships and map client networks through proactive engagement, identifying revenue‑generating opportunities.
• Build an extensive network of German-speaking candidates across the DACH Pathology market, ensuring all communication is structured and tracked.
• Support and develop existing client relationships while learning the fundamentals of business development and account management.
• Demonstrate an appreciation of the relationship between activity and results.

Results

• Hit KPIs on a daily, weekly and monthly basis.
• Qualify for your first lunch target.
• Promotion to Recruitment Consultant
• Complete and receive sign‑off for all Meet DNA training modules.

Promotion Criteria to Consultant – on average just 3 months to reach your first promotion!
