  • Collaboration: Work closely with the internal scientific and technical teams (Project Managers, Computational Chemists) to ensure seamless proposal generation and project delivery.
  • Market Intelligence: Monitor industry trends, competitor activities, and regulatory changes in the US / EU region to inform sales strategies.
