Are you an experienced sales professional in the animal health sector looking to step into a senior role with real influence?

With operations across the US, UK, Europe, and New Zealand, this business supports clients from molecule to market, enabling the development and delivery of life-enhancing products for pets and livestock.

• Act as a key commercial interface, identifying client needs and aligning them with tailored service solutions across R&D, regulatory, and manufacturing.
• Lead proposals, contract negotiations, and project onboarding processes to secure new business and renew existing partnerships.
• Work closely with scientific, regulatory, and operational teams across global sites to ensure seamless service delivery and high client satisfaction.
• Represent the full value proposition of the organisation’s integrated CDMO model, identifying new areas for collaboration and innovation.

Candidate Profile

• Minimum of 10 years’ experience in animal health sales or business development – this is essential.
• Strong understanding of the global animal health landscape, including pharmaceutical development, manufacturing, and regulatory frameworks.
• Established network within the veterinary or animal health sector.
• Proven ability to lead complex sales cycles and negotiate at senior stakeholder level.
• Strategic, collaborative and commercially astute with excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Comfortable operating in a matrixed global environment with cross-functional teams.

What’s on Offer

This is a rare opportunity to join a global company with a genuinely unique market position. As the only fully integrated CRO/CDMO focused solely on animal health, their services are in high demand — and growing. The role comes with a strong compensation package, career development opportunities, and the chance to be part of a mission-led team working to improve animal health outcomes worldwide.
