Job Description:

Sterile Sales Manager
Competitive Salary + Benefits (Dependent upon experience)
UK, Ireland & Scandinavia

Our Client

Our client is an established engineering organisation specialising in advanced processing and packaging solutions supplied into highly regulated pharmaceutical manufacturing environments. Supporting complex sterile and aseptic production operations, the business delivers technically advanced equipment and integrated systems used across filling, inspection and end-of-line packaging applications. Continued investment in specialist technologies and increasing demand within sterile pharmaceutical manufacturing has created the need to strengthen commercial activity across the UK, Ireland and Scandinavia.

The Role

The Sterile Sales Manager will be responsible for developing new business opportunities and managing commercial activity across the pharmaceutical sterile sector throughout the designated territory. Operating within a technically demanding and compliance-led environment, the role will focus on building relationships with manufacturers, identifying strategic projects and progressing complex capital equipment opportunities through to successful conclusion.

The position will involve managing the full sales process, from early customer engagement and market development through to quotation, negotiation and contract award. Working closely with internal engineering, validation and project delivery teams, the role requires the ability to understand customer requirements and align them with technically and commercially appropriate solutions involving sterile processing, filling, inspection and packaging technologies. The successful candidate will also maintain structured pipeline management, support long-term account development and ensure consistent commercial engagement across multiple stakeholder groups.

Candidates will bring proven experience in technical capital equipment sales within pharmaceutical, life sciences or similarly regulated manufacturing sectors. Exposure to sterile manufacturing environments, aseptic production processes or cleanroom operations would be advantageous, alongside strong commercial awareness and the ability to manage long-cycle technical sales projects. A proactive and disciplined approach is essential, together with strong communication skills and the ability to operate effectively within a field-based role involving regular travel across the territory.

To Apply

This is an excellent opportunity to join a technically respected engineering organisation operating within specialist pharmaceutical manufacturing markets. Interested candidates are invited to apply accordingly. All submissions will be reviewed, and suitable candidates will be contacted directly.
