Technical Sales Specialists – Scientific Automation (Europe)

Our client is a global leader in providing lab technology, automation & software to enable and enhance science, delivering cutting-edge technology to customers across diverse industries. Their approach is rooted in collaboration, innovation, and long-term partnerships that drive the creation of ground-breaking technologies.

Innovation is at the heart of everything they do. They are a creative and collaborative team, united by a culture of mutual support. Their commitment is to deliver excellence in every aspect of their work, while upholding respect for themselves, their community, and the planet. And they never forget to enjoy the journey, bringing passion and fun to everything they do!

They are currently hiring two Account Managers/Technical Sales Specialists to support rapid growth across Europe.

Unlike traditional product sales, these roles focus on building trust, understanding customer technical requirements, and co-creating solutions that deliver lasting value. You’ll play a key role in driving new growth opportunities and nurturing strategic partnerships, in line with our global expansion plans.

These roles are ideal for scientists, engineers, or technical specialists who enjoy problem-solving, engaging with people, and are looking to step into a commercial career. Full sales training and ongoing mentoring will be provided.

You’ll work closely with customers to understand their scientific workflows, uncover challenges, and explore how automation solutions can help. Day-to-day, you’ll build relationships, develop your region, identify new opportunities, and support the full sales cycle alongside experienced colleagues. You will travel around 60% of your time across your assigned territory to visit customers and attend scientific conferences & meetings.

The ideal candidates will bring:

• A background in science, engineering, or a related technical field.
• Strong communication skills, curiosity, and a genuine interest in customer problem-solving.
• Comfort discussing technical concepts and collaborating with engineering teams.
• A proactive, organised approach and enthusiasm for developing commercial skills.
• A full driving licence and willingness to travel.

This is a rare opportunity to move into a commercial role without needing prior sales experience, although scientific sales experience is advantageous.

You’ll join a supportive, innovative company working at the forefront of automation, with clear development pathways and the chance to shape impactful scientific solutions across Europe.

Salary depending on experience is between £40-60K / 50-70K€ + profit share for everyone.

All travel costs will be covered by the company (no company car/car allowance at this stage).

Why Join them? See below what they have to say about them:

• In It Together: We believe in the power of one team, where innovation, integrity, and long-term relationships is at the heart of everything we do.

• Humility: Having the ability to communicate effectively with our engineering team is key to ensure smooth project transitions and alignment from the earliest stages.
• Excellence: Every day is an opportunity to contribute to a bold vision that’s driving real innovation in automation and product development.
