Inside Sales & Field Application Specialist
About this role
Role: Inside Sales & Field Application Specialist
Location: Tolochenaz, Switzerland
Start Date: ASAP
Job Description
We're looking for a scientifically trained inside sales specialist to help generate and qualify opportunities and run demonstrations accelerating conversion - all from our Swiss headquarters.
It's a dual role combining inside sales and application support, built for a scientist who's energised by the commercial side of science. You're equally comfortable qualifying a researcher's fit over a call and walking a customer through a live imaging demonstration. If you have a life-sciences background and want to move closer to the commercial frontline of a cutting-edge technology, this is a rare bridge between the two.
What you will do
Inside sales
- Generate and qualify opportunities for our direct sales team through targeted, trigger-based prospecting and discovery calls.
- Follow up on and re-engage marketing-generated leads, running structured outreach that turns interest into qualified pipeline.
- Apply your scientific judgment to assess each prospect's research fit before handing over sales-qualified leads.
- Manage lead data and pipeline in the CRM, and feed insight back to sales and marketing.
- Support partners in identifying and qualifying opportunities in their markets
Application Support
- Evaluate, organise and perform product demonstrations - in-house, remote, and occasionally on-site.
- Provide scientific and application support to customers and partners, advising on experimental fit and helping them get results from the platform.
- Strengthen distributor partners' application competence through remote demo evaluation and field demo support.
- Bring application insight from customer interactions back to sales, marketing and product.
What we're looking for
- Minimum B.S. in cell biology or a related field (PhD or MSc preferred).
- 2-4 years’ Commercial experience in a life-sciences setting - or strong evidence you can bridge the bench and the commercial side.
- Confidence presenting and demonstrating to a scientific audience both in person and remotely.
- Able to work independently and travel internationally as needed.
- Valid Swiss work permit (driving licence is a plus).
- Enthusiasm to introduce a new technology to the market, self-motivated and resilient.
- Organised and data-disciplined; comfortable working in a CRM (Salesforce ideal).
- Good communication skills; proficiency in English (additional languages a plus).
What we can offer
You will get the opportunity to work in a fast-growing company with highly motivated, competent and experienced individuals, and make a real difference for our customers. You will be working with a cutting-edge technology and facing the exclusive challenge of making it accessible to a wide audience by implementing creative solutions.
