at Eurofins

🏢 About Eurofins

Eurofins is a global leader in analytical testing services, operating over 900 laboratories across 50+ countries. What makes Eurofins unique is its mission-driven focus on promoting safer, healthier, and more sustainable environments through scientific testing. Working here means contributing to meaningful impact in food safety, environmental protection, and pharmaceutical development.

About This Role

As an Account Manager at Eurofins in Denver, you'll be responsible for identifying and closing new business in the analytical testing sector while managing existing client relationships in the Rocky Mountain region. This role is impactful because you'll connect laboratories with clients who need critical testing services that ensure public health and environmental safety. You'll serve as the bridge between scientific capabilities and real-world applications.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might start with reviewing your pipeline of potential clients in environmental consulting or manufacturing, followed by preparing a customized quote for a water testing request. You'd likely spend part of the day visiting a current client in the Denver metro area to discuss their ongoing testing needs, then coordinate with laboratory managers to ensure proposal requirements are met. The day might end with industry research or preparing for an upcoming environmental conference presentation.

🎯 Who Eurofins Is Looking For

  • Has 2+ years of B2B sales experience in scientific, environmental, or laboratory services (not just generic sales)
  • Demonstrates ability to explain technical services (like analytical testing) to non-technical clients clearly and confidently
  • Shows proven pipeline management skills with CRM experience specific to scientific services sales
  • Possesses strong organizational skills to coordinate complex quote responses involving multiple laboratory departments
