At Bavarian Nordic, we are committed to saving and improving lives by unlocking the power of the immune system. Our commercial portfolio includes market-leading vaccines against smallpox/mpox, rabies, tick-borne encephalitis, chikungunya, typhoid fever, and cholera. We excel in R&D innovation, manufacturing, and commercialization—working every day to protect people’s health and quality of life and protecting our tomorrow.

We have embarked upon a truly transformative journey toward becoming one of the largest pure-play vaccine companies and looking for more talent to help drive the change.

Come on board, and let’s protect lives together. We are seeking a qualified Sales Manager to strengthen our Commercial team in the UK.
** The role
** As Sales Manager UK, you will play a pivotal role in shaping the next phase of Bavarian Nordic’s commercial growth journey. Building on a strong entrepreneurial foundation, you will help elevate the UK organization from a start-up mindset to a scalable, data-driven commercial operation capable of supporting continued portfolio expansion and increasing market complexity.

This is a broad leadership role that combines strategic thinking with operational execution. You will lead and develop a hybrid sales organization consisting of an external field sales team and a Bavarian Nordic-employed Key Account Manager, creating a high-performing, customer-focused culture built on accountability, coaching, and continuous improvement. At the same time, you will act as a key commercial leader, translating business priorities into actionable sales strategies and ensuring disciplined execution across the UK market.

With more than 600 customer accounts across multiple channels, a critical focus of the role will be to establish a more structured and analytical approach to customer segmentation, resource allocation, and account prioritization.

** What you bring

You will work cross-functionally with local and global stakeholders, helping to shape commercial decisions, enhance customer engagement models, and build the scalable processes, capabilities, and insights needed to support our ambitious growth plans in the UK.

Besides this, you bring

* Proven experience leading and developing successful sales teams
* Strong analytical skills and a data-driven approach to decision-making
* Experience balancing strategic planning with operational execution
* A track record of driving growth through effective customer engagement and key account management
