Medical Sales Representative jobs in Nottingham

Key Points – Please Read Carefully

Before applying, please ensure your career expectations align with the following core requirements of this role:

1. Employment Type: This is a full-time employee position with a base salary and uncapped commission. Eligible employees may participate in the company’s benefits programs, subject to company policies and applicable eligibility requirements.

2. On-Site Engagement: This is not a remote or digital outreach role. You will be expected to conduct daily, in-person visits to wet labs, engaging directly with PhDs and Principal Investigators (PIs) at local universities and research institutions in Nottingham, with regular travel to cover key accounts in the neighboring Derby and Leicester areas.

3. Location Requirement: Success in this role requires a consistent local presence. This position is only suitable for candidates currently based in the Nottingham area, or those who are centrally located with convenient access to Derby and Leicester. If your daily commute exceeds 1.5 hours, this role may not be the best fit.

4. High-Intensity Performance: This is a demanding, high-activity position. Top-performing representatives typically achieve 15–20 high-quality client interactions per day, which requires a total daily visit volume of 20+ clients.

5. Data Discipline: You are required to update all client interactions and insights in our CRM system daily. This ensures we have a precise understanding of client needs.

• Territory Mastery: Explore and manage a designated territory primarily based in Nottingham, including routine coverage of key labs and research projects in Derby and Leicester.
• Relationship Building: Transition from "cold visiting" to becoming a trusted resource for scientists by understanding their experimental timelines and funding cycles.
• Strategic Intelligence: Gather insights from lab managers, post-docs, and PIs to build a full picture of the lab's upcoming needs.
• Consistent Growth: Use the CRM to track your progress and work with a Senior Manager to refine your sales approach based on daily field data.

Who You Are

• Resilient & Energetic: You thrive in high-pressure environments and enjoy the "hustle" of meeting new people every day.
• Locally Rooted: You know the Nottingham, Derby, and Leicester layouts and are comfortable spending 6–8 hours daily in the field.
