Shape the future of advanced therapies by leading business development for gene therapy technologies across Germany. In this role, you will focus on accelerating customer success in viral vector production, mRNA and oligonucleotide development, and next-generation biologics manufacturing. Your expertise will help expand the adoption of integrated solutions across critical workflows—from upstream to downstream processing.
What You’ll Do
- Lead commercial engagement for advanced therapy applications, including viral vectors, plasmid DNA, exosomes, and synthetic nucleic acids, with a strong grasp of associated development and manufacturing challenges.
- Grow revenue in your territory by identifying new opportunities, driving Design-In projects, and embedding Cytiva technologies into customer pipelines.
- Collaborate with Field Application Specialists to conduct on-site evaluations, deliver technical training, and clearly communicate the advantages of our platforms.
- Support marketing initiatives by identifying key scientific events and regional congresses to generate qualified leads and strengthen market presence.
- Maintain accurate sales pipelines in SFDC, tracking MQLs, Design-In progress, and opportunities in alignment with defined playbooks.
- Work closely with commercial teams and Product Management to shape deal strategies, gather customer insights, and influence product development.
- Promote cross-modality solutions including cell culture media, bioreactors, filtration systems, chromatography platforms, and analytical technologies to address end-to-end workflow needs.
What You Bring
- A degree in Life Sciences, Biotechnology, Biochemistry, Chemical Engineering, or a related field.
- Proven background in bioprocessing, cell and gene therapy, or advanced therapy commercialization, with experience in technical sales or customer-facing application support.
- Hands-on knowledge of viral vector, nucleic acid, or cell-based manufacturing processes.
- Familiarity with CRM tools such as SFDC for managing opportunities and technical projects.
- Experience supporting customer evaluations and technology adoption in regulated environments.
- Willingness to travel 40–50% within Germany, including overnight trips, and possession of a valid driver’s license.
Preferred Background
- Experience selling integrated solutions across upstream, downstream, and nucleic acid manufacturing workflows.
- Exposure to customers in clinical or commercial-stage advanced therapy development.
Work Environment
This is a remote-based position with flexibility to work from home, allowing integration into a distributed team while serving customers across Germany. Occasional travel will be required to support on-site engagements and regional events.
