Location: Bedfordshire (potentially remote depending on experience)

Salary: £32,000 + £8,000 OTE bonus

Sector: Scientific Sales | Chemistry | Laboratory Equipment

Are you a science enthusiast seeking a challenging role away from the bench? Perhaps you\’ve worked in a lab but now crave the buzz of a commercial role? If you enjoy talking tech, love helping people, and aren\’t afraid of the phone, we\’ve got just the role for you.

Our client is looking for an Internal Scientific Sales Specialist to support their regional sales managers by proactively identifying and closing new business opportunities across the UK.

What You\’ll Be Doing

• Lead Generation: Proactively identify and contact potential customers – comfortable making up to 100+ outbound calls per day
• Virtual Meetings: Conduct product demonstrations and consultations via Zoom/Teams
• Sales Cycle Management: Provide quotations, follow up on leads, and close sales
• Customer Relationship Building: Develop strong, trust-based relationships with customers
• CRM Use: Keep accurate records of leads and pipeline using HubSpot

What We\’re Looking For

• A confident communicator – someone who genuinely enjoys speaking with new people
• Self-motivated, proactive, and hungry to succeed
• Background in science (Chemistry or Life Sciences preferred) OR experience in a lab environment
• Previous telesales experience (especially within the scientific/technical sector) is highly desirable but not essential

What\’s On Offer

• Highly competitive starting salary
• Quarterly bonus scheme
• Company laptop and mobile phone
• Flexibility to work remotely (UK-based) or from the head office in Bedfordshire
• Join a friendly, dynamic and supportive team with real career progression

Why this role?

This is not your average telesales job. You\’ll be working with cutting-edge scientific equipment, helping real scientists solve real-world problems – all while building a strong foundation in technical sales. If you\’re ready to step into a high-impact, commercially focused role without losing touch with your scientific roots, this could be your perfect next step.
