The posting

Turn your newly finished PhD into a commercial career selling biomarker science to the companies developing new drugs. Join a fast-moving international company where deep science is the product and sell it to the world's largest pharma and biotech companies.

Your Role

You will report directly to the Chief Business Officer and join our business development team. Our clients buy science, so you will spend your first 12 to 18 months going deep into ours, working closely with our senior salespeople along the way. After that, you grow into a Sales Manager role, owning a disease area and leading the sales process from first contact to signed deal.

First 12 to 18 months: science first

  • Build deep knowledge of extracellular matrix (ECM) biology and our biomarker portfolio, working directly with our scientific directors.
  • Work closely with senior salespeople on live projects, joining client calls and contributing to proposals.
  • Translate our science into clear, credible value for clients and partners.
  • Support the team with lead follow-up, market research, and client inquiries, and keep CRM data accurate.

After 12 to 18 months: grow into Sales Manager

  • Take ownership of your own disease area and sales pipeline.
  • Identify and pursue new opportunities while building long-term client relationships.
  • Run independent scientific and commercial presentations and negotiate deals.
  • Travel internationally (30+ days per year) to meet clients and represent Nordic Bioscience.

What You Bring

  • A PhD in life sciences or a related field, completed within the last couple of years or to be completed within the next 6 months (required).
  • An early-career profile: up to 3 years of professional experience after your PhD, including postdoc positions. This role is designed as a first step into a commercial career.
  • A real drive to sell. You do not need a sales background, but you must want this career badly.
  • Strong scientific curiosity and the ability to explain complex science simply.
  • Highly organized, proactive, and driven to take ownership.
  • Fluent English, spoken and written.

This is primarily an onsite role in Herlev, Denmark. You must be based in Denmark from day one, as we cannot support relocation.

Why Nordic Bioscience?

  • Science that matters: Your work supports treatments that improve real patients' lives.
  • Market leader: Join the world's leading ECM biomarker company.
  • Clear growth path: From PhD Scientist to Sales Manager.
  • Hands-on mentorship: Learn the science from our ECM experts and work alongside senior colleagues on real client projects.
  • Great perks: Lunches from our in-house chefs, and colleagues who also meet from time to time outside office hours.

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
