Territory & Market Outreach: Connect with lab managers, lead scientists, and procurement officers across island territories to introduce NgaioDx's solution portfolio.

Consultative Problem Solving: Understand customer assay, diagnostic, and workflow needs, matching them with the right scientific products.

Sales Execution: Prepare quotations, follow up on proposals, and guide prospective clients smoothly from initial inquiry to closing deals.

Sales/BD Experience: Is preferred but not essential.

Technical Familiarity: An understanding of core laboratory workflows and equipment (e.g., PCR, ELISA, microbiology techniques, rapid test kits, or lab consumables).

Communication & Drive: Fluent written and spoken English, paired with a friendly, persuasive tone and an eager-to-learn mindset.

Remote Setup: Dedicated workspace with high-speed internet.

What We Offer:

Competitive Base Salary: Stable, reliable monthly income paid on time.

Performance Bonus Scheme: Bonus structure recognising your sales achievements once markets and new accounts are onboarded.

Career Growth: Opportunities to build high-value international business experience with a respected New Zealand company.

Supportive Culture: Direct mentorship and collaborative working environment.

How to Apply:
If you have a science background and want to build a rewarding career in technical sales, we would love to hear from you!
