In markets where Life Science is supported by local Sales and Service Unit (SSU) teams, you will coordinate closely with local service directors to ensure aligned, high-quality support across the region.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Leading, developing, and supporting service teams in DACH & BNL to ensure high performance and customer satisfaction.
• Collaborating cross-functionally with Sales, Academy, and EDC teams to deliver cohesive service solutions.
• Monitoring key performance metrics such as Order Intake, Net Sales, and Profitability to guide decision-making.

Key qualifications and attributes include:

• A Bachelor of Science degree in a scientific or engineering discipline, or an equivalent combination of education and experience, supported by at least five years of managerial experience in operations—preferably within Field Service or related sectors.
• Exceptional interpersonal, communication, and analytical skills, with fluency in English; additional languages such as French, German, or Dutch are highly desirable to facilitate cross-regional collaboration.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office suite (Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint) and strong decision-making skills to prioritize initiatives and respond effectively in dynamic business environments.
• A valid driver’s license and the ability to lead through influence, coaching, and development, ensuring high performance and motivation within geographically dispersed service teams.
