BioPhorum is growing, and we’re looking for a Sales Specialist – Training to help us expand our training, consulting and compliance offering across the global life sciences sector.
This is a quota-bearing, new business sales role where you’ll have the opportunity to identify new customers, build relationships with senior stakeholders and turn customer challenges into valuable training and compliance solutions.
If you’re a commercially driven B2B salesperson who enjoys hunting for opportunities, running strong discovery conversations and closing new business, we’d love to hear from you.
What will you be selling?
You’ll be responsible for driving new business across BioPhorum ’s training services portfolio, including:
Training packages and tailored training solutions
Consulting and auditing services linked to Compliance Hub
Cross-selling opportunities within existing BioPhorum customers
Solutions designed around customer capability, compliance and operational needs
You'll work closely with our Commercial, Marketing and Training teams, as well as internal subject matter experts, to understand customer challenges and create solutions that deliver genuine value.
What will you be doing?
You’ll own your sales pipeline from prospecting through to close, including:
Identifying and engaging new-logo prospects across target organisations
Building and managing a high-quality sales pipeline
Running structured discovery conversations with customers
Developing proposals, pitches and commercial recommendations
Managing opportunities through the sales cycle and closing new business
Identifying cross-sell opportunities within existing accounts
Developing opportunities for Compliance Hub consulting and auditing services
Working with Marketing to convert campaigns and targeted outreach into opportunities

Building strong relationships with senior stakeholders across training, quality, compliance, operations, regulatory and commercial functions
What are we looking for?
We’re looking for someone with approximately 3–5 years’ experience in quota-bearing B2B sales, business development or new business sales.
You’ll ideally bring experience selling training, consulting, compliance, auditing, professional services, SaaS, data or another solution-led B2B proposition, preferably within pharmaceuticals, life sciences or another regulated environment.
Most importantly, you’ll be:
A confident hunter who enjoys creating opportunities rather than waiting for leads
Commercially driven and motivated by achieving sales targets
Strong at prospecting, discovery and relationship building
Comfortable selling to multiple stakeholders and navigating complex buying processes
Confident presenting solutions and articulating commercial value
Disciplined in pipeline management, CRM and forecasting
Curious about your customers and able to turn their challenges into practical solutions
Resilient, proactive and comfortable working in a growing organisation where things continue to evolve
You don't need to know everything about BioPhorum or our training portfolio from day one. What matters is your ability to sell complex B2B solutions, build credibility quickly and create genuine customer value.
