Business Development Manager - Genomics

Remote | Central & Eastern Europe | B2B cooperation

We are looking for a Business Development Manager with strong commercial experience in genomics / NGS / molecular diagnostics / bioinformatics to develop the Central & Eastern European market for an international precision medicine company.

This is not a generic SaaS or IT Business Development role.

We need someone who understands the genomics ecosystem, knows how NGS workflows work, and is comfortable selling complex scientific or clinical solutions to laboratories, healthcare organizations, research institutions, and other professional customers.

About the company:

Our client is an international precision medicine company developing bioinformatics tools for the analysis and interpretation of human genomic data.

Its solutions are used globally by professionals across:

• clinical laboratories
• diagnostic organizations
• academic institutions
• research centers
• biotechnology and life sciences companies

The company operates internationally with a distributed, remote-first team and works at the intersection of genomics, bioinformatics, healthcare, and precision medicine.

What you will do:

You will be responsible for commercial development across the Central & Eastern Europe region and work across the full customer lifecycle.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Develop new business across Central & Eastern Europe
• Identify and engage potential customers in the NGS / clinical genomics market
• Generate new commercial opportunities for bioinformatics and genomic analysis solutions
• Manage the sales process from initial conversation through negotiation and contracting
• Build relationships with laboratories, clinical organizations, research institutions, partners, and other relevant customers
• Develop existing accounts and identify upselling and expansion opportunities
• Work closely with scientific specialists to understand customer needs
• Translate complex technical capabilities into clear commercial value
• Monitor competitors, market developments, procurement processes, and regulatory trends
• Provide market feedback to Product, Scientific, Marketing, and Commercial teams
• Represent the company at customer meetings, conferences, and industry events when required

Who we are looking for:

1. Strong commercial experience

You have at least 3 years of experience in a quota-carrying Sales or Business Development role.

You should have personally been responsible for:

• generating revenue
• developing accounts
• building a sales pipeline
• negotiating
• closing business
• managing a commercial territory

2. Real genomics / NGS knowledge

You need meaningful professional exposure to at least one of the following:

• NGS
• clinical genomics
• genetic testing
• molecular diagnostics
• bioinformatics
• genomic data analysis
• sequencing technologies
• variant analysis and interpretation

You should understand how NGS fits into clinical, diagnostic, or research workflows.

If your background is exclusively in generic IT/SaaS sales and you have no professional exposure to genomics, NGS, molecular diagnostics, or a closely related field, this role is not a match.

3. Relevant customer experience

Ideally, you have sold products, software, services, or technologies to:

• clinical laboratories
• genetic or molecular diagnostic laboratories
• hospitals
• research institutions
• universities
• genomics centers
• biotech / life sciences companies

4. CEE market exposure

You should have experience working with customers in Central and/or Eastern Europe.

Knowledge of the regional healthcare, diagnostics, laboratory, procurement, or regulatory environment is highly relevant.

5. Ability to own the full sales cycle

We are looking for someone who can independently:

• identify opportunities
• prospect
• open new accounts
• qualify customers
• build relationships
• manage a pipeline
• negotiate
• close business
• expand existing accounts

This is not a role for someone whose experience has been limited mainly to inbound lead handling, customer support, or non-commercial relationship management.

Must-Have:

• 3+ years of experience in Sales / Business Development
• Quota-carrying commercial experience
• Professional exposure to genomics, NGS, molecular diagnostics, bioinformatics, or a closely related Life Sciences field
• Strong understanding of NGS workflows
• Experience working with B2B customers
• Strong prospecting and relationship-building skills
• Experience with CRM platforms such as Salesforce, HubSpot, or similar
• Fluent spoken and written English
• Ability to work independently in a remote environment
• Availability for international business travel

Strong advantage:

• Experience selling bioinformatics software
• Clinical genomics experience
• Knowledge of variant analysis and interpretation
• Experience selling genomic data analysis or interpretation platforms
• Knowledge of IVDR, CLIA/CAP, or similar regulated environments
• Existing network within the CEE genomics / diagnostics market
• Experience selling to genetic or molecular diagnostic laboratories
• German, French, or additional CEE languages
• Experience managing an international sales territory

Relevant backgrounds:

We are particularly interested in candidates coming from:

• NGS technology providers
• genomics software companies
• clinical bioinformatics companies
• sequencing companies
• molecular diagnostics companies
• genetic testing companies
• precision medicine companies
• laboratory technology providers

Relevant previous titles may include:

• Business Development Manager
• Regional Sales Manager
• Territory Sales Manager
• Genomics Sales Specialist
• NGS Sales Specialist
• Commercial Manager
• Account Manager
• Key Account Manager
• Strategic Account Manager
• Life Sciences Sales Manager
• Molecular Diagnostics Sales Manager

Location & cooperation

• Remote
• Candidates can be based across Central and Eastern Europe
• Cooperation is expected to be on a B2B basis
• International business travel will be required

Important:

We are intentionally looking for a specialized commercial profile.

A strong general sales background alone is not enough.

The strongest candidates will combine:

Commercial Sales Experience + NGS / Genomics Knowledge + CEE Market Exposure

If you have been selling genomics, sequencing, molecular diagnostics, clinical bioinformatics, or related solutions and want to take commercial ownership of the CEE region, we would like to hear from you.
