We are recruiting for an Account Manager to join an established laboratory automation manufacturer, covering Cambridge, East Anglia and the East Midlands.

The role involves selling a range of scientific instrumentation, from liquid handling and detection systems to larger, fully configured laboratory automation solutions.

  • Previous experience in scientific instrumentation, laboratory automation or capital equipment sales.
  • Experience managing a territory and developing new business.
  • Comfortable managing technical sales processes involving multiple stakeholders.
  • Ability to build relationships with laboratory managers, scientists and procurement teams.
  • Strong communication and commercial skills.
  • Full UK driving licence and willingness to travel across the territory.

Direct laboratory automation experience isn’t essential. Candidates with a background in wider scientific instrumentation or technical CapEx sales will also be considered.

Package

  • Base salary up to £70,000
  • 25% uncapped bonus
  • Company car
  • Field-based role
  • Support from an established UK applications and technical team
