Head of Sales – Capital Equipment Plant Systems | Switzerland
A Swiss-headquartered manufacturer of bespoke Capital Equipment/Bioprocess plant systems for the pharma and biopharma industry is seeking to appoint a Head of Sales – a newly created, standalone leadership position reporting directly to the CEO.
This is a genuinely strategic appointment for a business going through an exciting period of change following a recent acquisition by a global engineering group. You will lead the global sales organisation, take ownership of key European accounts, and shape the commercial strategy and culture of the business going forward.
The Role
- Lead and develop a sales team of front-line and technical sales professionals based in Switzerland
- Take full ownership of the commercial strategy across Europe and the USA, with a focus on rebuilding and expanding the European customer network
- Coordinate with joint sales resources across other European markets within a matrix organisation
- Represent the business at executive level with key accounts and strategic partners
- Bring a proactive, hunter-led commercial approach to a business that has historically operated more reactively
About You
- Minimum 5 years‘ management or senior commercial leadership experience
- Background in capital equipment sales within upstream, downstream or fill/finish environments, and significant exposure to pharma/biopharma plant or process engineering projects
- A strong, active network of relevant customer contacts across Europe
- Fluency in German and English
- Comfortable in a largely on-site role based in Switzerland, with flexibility for 1-2 days remote per week
- Willing to travel regularly across Europe to visit customers and represent the business
The Package
- Base salary CHF 160,000 – 180,000
- Uncapped sales bonus
- Strong Swiss pension, accident and social security benefits
This is a rare opportunity to take genuine ownership of a commercial function at a pivotal moment for the business, with real autonomy to shape the strategy and team going forward. /
