Full job descriptionTechnical Sales Consultant

£70,000 - £80,000 basic salary + 20% commission + car allowance + benefits
Home-based within the UK
Do you enjoy talking science with researchers, getting hands-on in a demo and seeing a sale through to the finish? This role gives you the scope to do all three while taking ownership of the UK and Ireland territory.
I’m recruiting for a Technical Sales Consultant. You’ll spend time with customers understanding what they’re trying to measure, leading technical demonstrations and helping them choose the right setup for their research.
What you’ll do
*Develop new business and manage enquiries from the first conversation through to quotation, tender and close.
*Lead technical presentations and hands-on demonstrations for research teams.
*Represent the business at conferences and exhibitions, and use what you hear from customers to shape your territory sales plan.

What you’ll bring
*A bachelor’s or master’s degree in plant physiology, biology, environmental science or a related discipline, plus hands-on experience in a relevant scientific field.
*The confidence to explain technical concepts clearly and run a practical demonstration. Experience with photosynthesis measurement would be particularly useful.
*The initiative to organise your own territory and keep opportunities moving. Technical sales experience is preferred, and I’d also like to hear from applications specialists or researchers who can show how they’ve worked with customers or external partners.

Interested? Apply with your CV or message on LinkedIn. I’ll arrange a confidential 10-minute call so you can decide whether it’s worth taking further.
