As a key member of the Service sales team, you will be responsible for growing revenue, expanding market share, and positioning ABEC's service capabilities as a strategic advantage for customers operating in the biopharmaceutical manufacturing industry.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Support customers throughout the lifecycle of their ABEC systems.
• Deliver value-added service solutions that strengthen long-term partnerships.

• Strong business development capabilities.
• Exceptional communication and relationship-building skills.
