Reports to: Director Commercial Pharma DACH
Supervisory Responsibilities: No
Department: Commercial Pharma DACH
Location: remote
FLSA Classification: Full-Time
This is a remote position, but the employee must reside in the DACH region, with Germany preferred. This role is pivotal in supporting the company’s commercial growth by ensuring strong customer satisfaction, retention, and revenue expansion in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology sectors.
The successful candidate will be responsible for managing key accounts, developing account strategies, and coordinating cross-functional teams to deliver GLP/GMP/GCP laboratory services that meet client expectations. While primarily remote, the role includes occasional customer visits and on-site meetings at Tentamus locations when clients are visiting or on-site engagements are required.
Required skills and qualifications
Education- Master’s degree in Life Sciences (Biology, Chemistry, Biotechnology, Molecular Biology, or related field)
- Business degree strongly preferred
- Additional certifications in sales methodology or marketing strategy are advantageous
Experience- Minimum 8–10 years of progressive sales and marketing experience in the CRO, pharmaceutical, or biotechnology industries
- Proven track record of achieving revenue targets in B2B environments
- Demonstrated experience in European market development and international business expansion
- Experience with GLP / GMP / GCP regulatory environments and laboratory services
- Experience in budget oversight
Core Competencies- Strategic thinker with the ability to translate vision into actionable plans and contribute to enterprise-level decision-making
- Advanced negotiation and relationship management skills
- Strong analytical skills, including pricing optimization and market analysis
- Proficiency in CRM systems, sales analytics tools, and digital marketing platforms
- Excellent communication and presentation skills in English and German (additional European languages are a plus)
Key Success Factors
Year-One Priorities- Establish and drive a sales-focused culture
- Develop and execute a comprehensive European go-to-market strategy
- Build and optimize the sales team structure
- Develop key client relationships in priority European markets
- Implement scalable systems and processes to support growth
Strategic Challenges- Transition our Pharma sites to pan-European operations
- Navigate complex regulatory landscapes across multiple European jurisdictions
- Compete effectively against established international CRO providers in a financially pressured market
- Build brand recognition and credibility in new European markets
Note: While this is primarily a remote position, the Sales Manager will attend customer visits and site meetings as required, especially when clients are visiting Tentamus sites or in-person engagement is necessary to support account growth.
Important note: Please be advised that a valid work permit for Germany is required for non-EU citizens. Unfortunately, application without a valid work permit may not be considered.
