Quality Assurance Manager – Pharmaceuticals / life sciences

Our client supplies corrosion resistant engineering products to the pharmaceutical, fine chemicals, hydrogen, oil and gas companies globally.

With an established network of sales agents and distribution partners worldwide, they supply anti-corrosive lined piping, bellows, valves, heat exchangers, pumps, sampling systems etc through their world-wide distributors who hold stock in-country.

Due to a significant increase in export sales, they now seek an Export Sales Manager to take ownership of all international sales and distributor channel management. This is a brand-new international sales position, reporting to the Sales & Marketing Director.

As the Export Sales Manager you will be responsible for driving international sales, managing the existing distributor relationships to maximise export sales into existing international markets as well as identify, select and partner with new distributors in new territories and new markets, for example car battery production and electric car battery recycling in the Far East/Asia region.

The role will involve approx. 50% international travel so the Export Sales Manager must be willing to travel extensively overseas and live near an international airport. You will therefore need a full and clean driving license and valid passport, with no restrictions to travel internationally. The ideal candidate will be used to working across cultures, continents and have a flexible approach to business hours/travel. A home office will be fully supported/equipped.

This is a highly autonomous technical sales role, and the Export Sales Manager will have the freedom to manage their own travel/diary to execute distributor relationship management, travel in country with the distributor representatives/agents and attend key client meetings as and where required. There may be key conferences/exhibitions that will need attending.

The successful applicant will already be a proven International Sales Manager, Export Sales Manager, Channel Distribution Manager EMEA or equivalent job title holder, and will have already sold technically engineered products such as piping, valves, columns, actuators, sight glasses, gauges, pumps etc into an anti-corrosive environment/industry like the Pharmaceutical, Petrochemical, Oil & Gas sectors internationally where they need corrosive resistant engineering products. You will hold an engineering degree or equivalent and have at least 5 years successful international export sales management experience already

How Many Biotechnology Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Biotech Job?

If you are trying to break into biotechnology or progress your career, it can feel like the list of tools you are expected to know is endless. One job advert asks for PCR, another mentions cell culture, another lists bioinformatics pipelines, automation platforms or GMP systems. LinkedIn makes it worse, with people sharing long skills lists that make you wonder if you are already behind. Here is the reality most biotech employers will not say out loud: they are not hiring you because you know every tool. They are hiring you because you understand biological systems, can work accurately and safely, follow protocols, interpret results and contribute reliably to a team. Tools matter, but only when they support those outcomes. So how many biotechnology tools do you actually need to know to get a job? The answer depends on the role you are targeting, but for most job seekers it is far fewer than you think. This article breaks down what employers really expect, which tools are essential, which are role-specific, and how to focus your learning so you look employable rather than overwhelmed.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in Biotechnology Job Applications (UK Guide)

In a regulated, evidence-driven sector like biotech, the first question is simple: is this person safe, competent and genuinely capable of contributing in this environment? Whether you are applying for roles in research, manufacturing, quality, regulatory, clinical, bioinformatics or commercial biotech, the strongest applications make the right signals obvious in the first 10–20 seconds. This in-depth guide explains exactly what hiring managers in UK biotechnology look for first, how they assess CVs, cover letters and portfolios, and why capable candidates are often rejected. Use it as a practical checklist before you apply.
