Business Development Director – UK & Europe Location: Bullmatt Business Centre, Rushden, UK (with European travel as required) GXP Storage is a service-based organization that partners with clinical and pre-clinical researchers to consolidate research samples once studies have been performed, ensuring long-term viability and compliance with regulatory standards.

The successful candidate will demonstrate expertise in GLP pre-clinical and/or GCP clinical environments, CRM-driven sales management, and the ability to convert marketing-qualified leads into sales-qualified opportunities that drive measurable organic growth.
