The opportunity

As YSDS continues to grow and the global Life Science and Specialty sectors require more bespoke logistics solutions, we are looking for our next Business Development Manager to join our fantastic UK team.

Reporting to our UK Country Manager, you will open doors, build networks, advocate new ideas and present our solutions to prospective customers in the Life Sciences sector. We don’t want to oversell this and tell you it’s something it isn’t, this is a sales role, and you’ll be generating your own leads, booking your own appointments, and really taking ownership of delivering revenue in your geography and vertical.

We’re a solutions business, this isn’t a one-size-fits-all product, but a bespoke service for each and every customer and shipment we handle. No two days are the same, and we think for the right person that is incredibly exciting.

As part of the country team, you’ll work closely with our operations coordinators, account managers, country manager, and global teams to tailor the best possible service and solution for the business that you win.

• Build new relationships with prospective customers in the Life Sciences sector
• Uncover and understand pain points in their logistics and shipping
• Present YSDS and our bespoke approach to shipping and logistics
• Remain top of mind, build the relationship, secure the business
• Work closely with operations to deliver a world-class service

Your expertise

• 3-7 years of experience in a sales/business development/client success role in a B2B environment preferably related to Life Sciences, Research and Development, Clinical Trials, IVD, Diagnostics, Pharma, Lab services, or B2B solutions
• It’s essential you have a solution and consultative approach
• Demonstrated skills in prospecting, relationship building, and relationship management
• Amazing communication skills, working internally and externally. (Our people are our business)
