Business Development Manager in France & Belgium

Business Development Manager – France & Belgium

There’s a point in every company’s journey where everything starts to accelerate.

The technology is proven. The market is responding. Customers are seeing real value.

And now — it’s time to scale.

We are partnering with a fast-growing, innovative life science company that is expanding its commercial footprint across Europe. To support this next phase, we’re looking for a Business Development Manager to take full ownership of France and Belgium.

This is a role for someone who doesn’t just want to sell — but wants to build, shape, and grow a territory.

What you’ll be doing

You’ll act as the driving force behind new business in your region, leading the entire commercial journey from first conversation to long-term partnership.

• Build and execute a strategic plan for France & Belgium
• Identify and win new customers across biotech, pharma, and academia
• Manage the full sales cycle — from prospecting to closing deals
• Lead technical and consultative discussions with scientific stakeholders
• Collaborate closely with internal experts to deliver tailored solutions
• Develop long-term relationships and grow existing accounts
• Represent the company at conferences, events, and client meetings
• Travel across your territory (~50%) to stay close to your market

What we’re looking for

• Fluent in French and English
• Strong academic background in Biology (Biophysics is a plus)
• Proven experience in business development or sales within life sciences / scientific instrumentation
• Comfortable selling into biotech, pharma, and academic environments
• Experience with technologies like SPR, BLI or similar is a strong advantage
• Entrepreneurial mindset with a proactive, hunter mentality
• Strong communication skills and a consultative approach
• Based in France or Belgium (ideally near a major travel hub)

Why this role stands out

• Perfect timing: Join at a stage where the product is validated and growth is accelerating
• Real ownership: Build and shape your territory — not just maintain it
• High earning potential: Uncapped commission structure rewarding performance
• Career growth: Opportunity to grow into leadership as the company scales
• Impact: Work with cutting-edge technology that supports scientific discovery
