Are you a sales professional who speaks the language of science?
Do you get frustrated when a bid is lost because the wrong catalog number was quoted, or because the technical specifications didn’t match the tender requirements?
We are looking for a meticulous, technically-savvy In-House Sales Specialist to act as the bridge between our commercial team and our technical portfolio. This is not a standard customer service role. This is a strategic procurement-support role where your expertise in lab supplies directly impacts our win rate in tenders and RFQs.

The Role:
Based in Egypt, you will be the backbone of our bidding process. Your core mission is to select and match the correct items for customer proposals, ensuring every quotation we send is technically compliant, commercially viable, and competitively priced.
Key Responsibilities:
· Tender & RFQ Analysis: Review incoming tenders, purchase requests, and ITBs (Invitations to Bid) from clients across the MENA region.
· Technical Sourcing: Identify the most suitable products from our portfolio (or external partners) that strictly meet the client’s technical specifications for Microbiology, Molecular Biology, Chromatography, and Fine Chemicals.
· Cross-Reference: Accurately map competitor part numbers to our equivalent offerings to win “brand-specific” tenders.
· Pricing Strategy: Collaborate with the procurement team to ensure competitive pricing while maintaining healthy margins.
· Quality Control: Verify that all items quoted are available, have correct lead times, and meet regulatory/quality standards.
· Documentation: Prepare full technical/commercial offers for the sales team to present to clients.

Who You Are (The Ideal Profile):
We are looking for a scientist who transitioned into sales, or a sales professional with deep lab knowledge.
· Experience: Minimum 3-5 years in a similar role (In-House Sales, Technical Support, or Bid Specialist) within the laboratory supplies, diagnostics, or pharmaceutical distribution sector.
· Technical Knowledge: You must be comfortable reading product specifications for:
· Microbiology (Media, cultures, identification kits).
· Molecular Biology (PCR reagents, enzymes, nucleic acid extraction).
· Chromatography (Columns, solvents, vials, standards).
· Fine Chemicals (Reagents, buffers, high-purity solvents).
· Soft Skills:
· Zero-Tolerance for Errors: You triple-check part numbers before sending an offer.
· Strategic Thinker: You don’t just “fill a list”; you analyze why a client chooses a specific brand and offer alternatives to save them money without compromising quality.
· Fast-Paced: You can handle high volumes of RFQs during peak tender seasons without losing accuracy.

Why Join Us?
· Work with a leading supplier of laboratory solutions in the region.
· Autonomy to structure the internal bidding workflow.

Note: Only candidates with proven experience in the laboratory supply industry will be contacted.
We are looking for a self-starter who takes ownership of their quotations. If you require constant hand-holding to check specifications, this role is not for you. We need someone who can stand behind their technical decisions
