Global BioIngredients is seeking a motivated and scientifically minded Technical Business Development Associate to support growth within the life sciences and microbiology industries.
This is an excellent opportunity for an early-career professional interested in the commercial side of biotechnology who enjoys communication, relationship-building, organization, and problem-solving.
Our company supplies ingredients and raw materials used by major life science, microbiology, and diagnostic manufacturers throughout North America. While our US operation is a small, highly collaborative team, we are backed by an international manufacturing organization with decades of industry experience and production facilities in Spain and Mexico.
This is a fully remote position within the United States.
What You’ll Do:
Identify and research prospective customers within the biotechnology, microbiology, fermentation, and life science industries
Support outreach to product managers, technical personnel, and purchasing groups
Coordinate product sample activity and maintain follow-up through customer evaluation and validation processes
Maintain organized documentation of customer interactions and opportunity progress within our CRM system
Participate in weekly and monthly business review meetings with US and international management teams
Assist with market research, competitive intelligence, and commercial development activities
Support customer visits and industry trade shows as needed
Work closely with internal logistics, account management, and manufacturing teams
What Makes This Role Different:
This is not a high-pressure transactional sales environment.
Our business is relationship-driven and highly technical. Customer qualification and validation processes can take months or even years, so success comes from:
persistence,
organization,
communication,
follow-through,
and the ability to steadily advance opportunities over time.
We value thoughtful commercial development and strong teamwork over aggressive sales tactics.
What We’re Looking For:
Strong written and verbal communication skills
Excellent organizational and follow-up habits
Ability to work independently in a remote environment
Comfort interacting with technical and commercial professionals
Scientific curiosity and willingness to learn
Ability to communicate progress and summarize activities clearly
Strong documentation habits and attention to detail
Professional and pragmatic approach to problem-solving
Collaborative mindset and positive attitude
Required:
BS degree in Microbiology, Molecular Biology, Biotechnology, Biochemistry, Food Science, or related life science field (Please do not apply without this requirement)
Preferred:
1–3 years of experience in laboratory operations, biotechnology, technical support, customer-facing roles, or commercial support
Prior exposure to life science business development or customer support is helpful but not required
Travel:
Occasional travel within the United States for customer visits and trade shows
Average travel is typically 3–5 days per month depending on schedule and season
All business travel expenses are company-paid
Compensation & Benefits:
We offer a competitive compensation and benefits package including:
SEP retirement program with substantial employer contribution
Remote work flexibility
Paid business travel expenses
Direct exposure to international business operations and senior leadership
