Summary

Clera is hiring a Technical Sales / Business Development Manager to develop new business opportunities and build customer partnerships in the life sciences sector. The role involves connecting with ingredient buyers, managing customer conversations, collaborating with the technical team, and representing the company at industry events.

About the Role

Join a growing life sciences team developing technology-focused ingredients for nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, and functional food applications. You will connect the technical team with ingredient buyers and help turn commercial opportunities into lasting customer partnerships.

What You'll Do

  • Develop new business opportunities and build long-term relationships with supplement brands, contract manufacturers, and other ingredient customers.

  • Manage prospective customer conversations from initial interest through technical discussions and commercial partnership development.

  • Work closely with the laboratory team to communicate product capabilities and address customer needs.

  • Represent the business at relevant industry events and travel to meet customers and partners.

What We're Looking For

  • Two to four years of experience in B2B sales, key account management, or business development in raw materials, supplements, or pharmaceuticals.

  • Experience selling technology-focused ingredients in nutraceuticals, pharmaceuticals, biochemistry, or functional food; commodity-only sales experience is not a fit.

  • A strong network in relevant ingredient markets and familiarity with industry events, distributors, and prospective customers.

  • A completed degree or comparable qualification in a natural science or technical field, such as food technology, pharmacy, biotechnology, chemistry, or a related discipline.

  • A technical or scientific background, or experience selling technical products, and fluency in English.

  • Willingness to travel. Experience with cyclodextrin formulation, German proficiency, startup or scale-up environments, and CRM systems is beneficial.

Compensation & Benefits

Salary: €60 to €80 per hour. Visa sponsorship is not available.

Location

On-site in Regensburg, Bavaria, Germany.
