Job description
Business Development Director – Berne, Switzerland
BioTalent has partnered with an innovative medical device organisation based in Berne, Switzerland who are looking for an exceptional Business Development Director to join them.
Despite the title of this role, this position is not expected to go out and win new business but instead will be focused on managing their existing customers. With a global perspective, the successful individual will be able to travel internationally 5 - 10% of the year to meet directly with clients. Traditionally, a role such as this, requires someone who has experience of working across multiple regions - this one however, does not. So, if you are looking to gain exposure into working globally, this could be the perfect opportunity!
This position will strategize and deliver on how to provide the best service for existing clients. As an individual contributor, the role does not include direct reports in its current capacity – this however could change in the future, depending on how the division continues to grow.
The site is located in Berne and offers hybrid working with 2 days expected onsite per week.
