  • Collaborate with various product management teams to ensure solutions address critical customer needs, regulatory trends, and new technologies.
  • Guide the creation of compelling value propositions and go-to-market strategies for new product introductions and workflow solutions. Partner with regional commercial teams to translate the global strategy into localized execution plans.
  • Partner with Commercial, Services and the product businesses to provide a comprehensive post-sales support package that fulfils future customer requirements.
  • Lead and develop strong teams in business development and marketing, scaling both to meet the aspirational growth expectations.

Who We Are Looking For

  • Strong intuition for business with validated ability to translate scientific and technical insights into commercial success.
  • Advanced level of English language (written and spoken).
