Graduate Product Sales Specialist

Head Hunter & Senior Consultant | Bioprocess Equipment, Instrumentation & Single-Use Technologies

• €55,000 – €60,000 + Bonus, Company Car and Benefits Package
• Based at company HQ in Munich

Are you a recent graduate in Biology, Microbiology, Biochemistry, or a related field who wants to build a career outside of the lab? This is an excellent opportunity to join a global market leader in spectroscopy instrumentation and consumables as a Product Sales Specialist.

This role is designed for someone who understands the science but is looking for something different — a chance to use your knowledge in a customer-facing, commercial environment where you’ll be developing relationships, supporting customers, and helping shape sales strategy.

About the Company

Our client is a well-established manufacturer of spectroscopy instruments and consumables, with a strong global reputation and a network of distributors across Germany. Their products are trusted worldwide in biotechnology and bioanalysis, and you’ll be joining them at their Munich headquarters.

The Role

As a Graduate Product Sales Specialist, you’ll combine your scientific background with commercial training and development, learning how to bridge the gap between science and sales.

Key Responsibilities

• Supporting customer demonstrations and technical enquiries on instruments and consumables
• Taking ownership of product sales strategy and performance across Germany
• Managing and supporting the existing distributor network
• Training distribution partners on products and attending customer meetings with them
• Representing the company at national and international trade fairs and conferences
• Gathering market insights and feedback to support product development and marketing

About You

This role is perfect for a science graduate who wants to start their career in sales rather than in the lab. You’ll be given training, support, and the opportunity to develop into a confident product specialist and trusted advisor for customers.

You’ll Need

• A university degree in Biology, Microbiology, Biochemistry, or a related field
• Practical lab experience with molecular biology techniques (academic or internship experience is fine)
• A people-focused personality with the ability to build strong customer relationships
• Motivation, resilience, and a willingness to learn the commercial side of science
• Confidence in communication – able to present, explain, and support customers
• Fluency in German and English
• Willingness to travel across Europe around 30% of the time

What’s on Offer

• Competitive base salary of €50,000 – €55,000 + bonus & company car
• Full training and mentoring to kickstart your sales career in life sciences
• International exposure – represent a global leader at trade fairs and conferences
• Career progression opportunities in a growing, innovative company
• A role that blends science and sales, giving you the chance to shape your career in a high-growth industry

This is your chance to turn your scientific expertise into commercial impact, travel across Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and work with a team that’s setting the benchmark in biotech.
