Role Overview

Ready to take ownership of a sales portfolio and build something with real commercial potential? BioPhorum is growing, and we're looking for a Sales Specialist - Training to help us expand our training, consulting and compliance offering across the global life sciences sector.

This is a quota-bearing, new business sales role where you'll have the opportunity to identify new customers, build relationships with senior stakeholders and turn customer challenges into valuable training and compliance solutions.

If you're a commercially driven B2B salesperson who enjoys hunting for opportunities, running strong discovery conversations and closing new business, we'd love to hear from you.

Training packages and tailored training solutions

Consulting and auditing services linked to Compliance Hub

Cross-selling opportunities within existing BioPhorum customers

What Will You Be Doing?

Owning your sales pipeline from prospecting through to close, including:

Building strong relationships with senior stakeholders across training, quality, compliance, operations, regulatory and commercial functions

What Are We Looking For?

We're seeking someone with approximately 3-5 years' experience in quota-bearing B2B sales, business development or new business sales. Ideally, this includes experience selling training, consulting, compliance, auditing, professional services, SaaS, data or other solution-led B2B propositions, preferably within pharmaceuticals, life sciences or another regulated environment.

Most importantly, you should be a:

Confident presenting solutions and articulating commercial value

Disciplined in pipeline management, CRM and forecasting

Curious about your customers and able to turn challenges into practical solutions

Resilient, proactive and comfortable working in a growing organisation where things continue to evolve

You don't need to know everything about BioPhorum or our training portfolio from day one. What matters is your ability to sell complex B2B solutions, build credibility quickly and create genuine customer value.
