We operate at the intersection of medicine, engineering, and advanced simulation, serving customers across Europe, the United States, and international markets.

We welcome candidates based in Switzerland, Swiss/EU/EFTA nationals willing to work from Basel, eligible cross-border candidates from neighbouring countries (including under the Swiss G-permit framework), and those already holding Swiss work authorization.
Key Responsibilities

Structured Sales Methodology
Demonstrated practical use of a structured sales methodology is required, such as MEDDIC / MEDDPICC | SPIN Selling | Challenger | Sandler | Consultative Selling | Value-Based Selling.
You should be able to show how you have used it to identify needs and pain points, qualify opportunities, identify decision-makers and economic buyers, develop champions, run discovery, handle objections, build account strategies, forecast, and progress complex B2B deals to close. We care more about how you apply a methodology than about formal training.
Languages: Excellent professional English is mandatory, plus professional working proficiency in at least two of: German | French | Italian | Spanish | Dutch. Other Western European languages are also valued; German and/or French are particularly advantageous. You should be comfortable presenting, running discovery, and building relationships across cultures.

Experience: Entry-level through mid-senior. Relevant backgrounds include technical B2B sales, SaaS, life sciences, biotech, diagnostics, engineering solutions, capital or laboratory equipment, healthcare technology, medical devices, or other complex solution selling. MedTech experience is an advantage, not a requirement.
