Business Development Manager

Ready to take your logistics sales career to the next level?

Are you ambitious, commercially driven and looking for an opportunity to make your mark in a global industry?

We're working with a world-leading specialist in pharmaceutical and healthcare logistics that's looking for an energetic, proactive Business Development Manager to help grow its presence across Switzerland.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone with experience in logistics sales, inside sales, business development or commercially focused account management who is ready to take greater ownership, get out into the market and build a successful career in specialist logistics.

You don't need to come from healthcare logistics. What matters is your commercial experience, ambition and genuine enthusiasm for developing new business.

You'll be joining an established global business that plays a critical role in the healthcare ecosystem, supporting the movement of life‑saving medicines, clinical trial supplies and essential healthcare products around the world.

Working alongside experienced industry specialists, you'll have the opportunity to develop your knowledge of temperature-controlled, time‑critical and highly regulated logistics, while building your commercial skills and developing relationships across Switzerland's pharmaceutical, biotechnology and healthcare sectors.

This is a hands‑on commercial role offering a combination of new business development, account management and internally generated opportunities
, with a strong emphasis on proactively getting out into the market and winning new customers.

• Opening doors and winning business: Identify potential customers, proactively approach decision‑makers and create new commercial opportunities across Switzerland.
• Building your own network: Get out into the market, meet customers face‑to‑face and develop lasting relationships with pharmaceutical, biotech and healthcare organisations.
• Taking ownership: Manage opportunities through the full sales cycle, from initial prospecting and customer meetings to proposals, negotiations and closing deals.
• Growing existing relationships: Develop established accounts, identify new opportunities and build long‑term partnerships.
• Working with industry experts: Collaborate with experienced operational and commercial teams to develop specialist logistics solutions for customers.
• Developing your expertise: Build your understanding of pharmaceutical supply chains, specialist logistics and the global healthcare industry.

We're looking for someone with energy, ambition and a genuine passion for business development.

You might currently be working in inside sales, junior business development, logistics sales or an account management role with responsibility for identifying and developing commercial opportunities.

What matters most is that you're ready to take the next step.

• Experience in business development, B2B sales or commercially focused account management, ideally within logistics or freight forwarding.
• A proactive, hunter mentality and the confidence to approach new customers, open doors and generate opportunities.
• A genuine desire to get out from behind a desk, meet customers and develop new business.
• Strong relationship‑building skills and the ability to identify commercial opportunities.
• Energy, resilience, curiosity and the motivation to continuously learn and develop.
• Fluent German and English.
• A base in the Zurich/Basel region, with the ability to travel to customers across Switzerland.

Previous experience in pharmaceutical or healthcare logistics would be advantageous, but is not essential.
