at Eurofins

🏢 About Eurofins

Eurofins is a global leader in analytical testing services with a mission to promote safer, healthier, and more sustainable environments. What makes Eurofins unique is its comprehensive PSS Insourcing model, which allows clients to bring Eurofins' expertise directly into their facilities rather than sending samples out. Working here means contributing to meaningful environmental and public health outcomes while being part of a scientifically-driven organization with global reach.

About This Role

This Business Development Manager role focuses on driving the entire sales cycle for Eurofins' PSS Insourcing model across the Southeast territory, from prospecting through project implementation. You'll be responsible for identifying and securing substantial, complex sales by developing long-term strategic partnerships with clients who need analytical testing solutions. This role is impactful because you'll directly contribute to expanding Eurofins' presence in a key region while helping clients improve their environmental and safety outcomes.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day involves researching and identifying new sales targets in the Southeast territory, conducting virtual meetings with prospects to understand their analytical testing needs, and developing customized proposals for Eurofins' PSS Insourcing model. You'll collaborate with technical teams to design solutions, negotiate contract terms for complex service agreements, and manage the implementation process for new client partnerships while tracking progress against territory KPIs.
