About The Global Talent Co.

We connect exceptional global talent with innovative technology and life sciences companies worldwide. Our mission is simple: everyone deserves equal access to opportunity, regardless of where they were born. Join our community of 25,000+ professionals building careers with leading international companies.

About the Company You'll Be Working With

You'll be joining a pioneering European health and life sciences company operating at the intersection of scientific research and consumer wellness. They develop innovative pharmaceutical and lifestyle brands distributed through pharmacy networks across Europe — a fast-growing, mission-driven organisation that is actively shaping an emerging and highly regulated industry.

The Opportunity

This company is expanding its pharmacy partnerships across the DACH region, and they need a commercially sharp, relationship-driven Business Development Representative to help drive that growth.

This is not a script-and-dial role. You'll be the first point of contact for potential pharmacy partners — researching, reaching out, qualifying opportunities, and handing off warm leads to the broader sales team. It's a role for someone who has real sales experience, thrives on building professional relationships, and enjoys the early stages of a commercial cycle.

This role is open to both full-time and part-time candidates (minimum 20 hours/week). If you're looking for flexibility without giving up meaningful, career-building work, this could be the right fit.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Identifying and approaching potential pharmacy partners across the DACH market to build a strong, qualified pipeline

  • Leading outreach and pre-sales conversations entirely in German, communicating the company's value proposition clearly and professionally

  • Conducting market research to uncover new partnership opportunities and track trends in the pharmaceutical and wellness space

  • Setting and tracking KPIs for outreach activity and continuously refining your approach based on results

  • Maintaining accurate CRM and lead database records so the wider sales team can move quickly

  • Collaborating with marketing and growth teams to align outreach efforts with broader commercial strategy

What We're Looking For

  • Native or fluent German speaker — this is a hard requirement; you will be representing the company in German-language markets every day

  • Proven sales experience — you've worked in a commercial, outbound, or business development role and you know how to open doors and move conversations forward

  • 2–4 years of experience in business development, pre-sales, or a similar outward-facing sales role

  • Pharmacy or healthcare industry background is a strong advantage — familiarity with how pharmacies operate or experience selling into the sector will set you apart

  • A confident, polished communicator who builds credibility quickly with professional partners

  • Self-directed and organised — you can manage your own pipeline and stay on top of follow-ups without being micromanaged

  • Able to work during CET business hours (Mon–Fri, 9 AM – 6 PM)

What's On Offer

  • Salary: Up to $2,000 USD/month (full-time) | Part-time arrangements considered (minimum 20 hours/week, pro-rated accordingly)

  • Fully remote with flexibility within CET hours

  • Paid annual leave

  • Direct exposure to a fast-growing European health and life sciences company

  • Learning and development opportunities through The Global Talent Co.

  • A collaborative, international team environment

At The Global Talent Co., we believe great talent exists everywhere. We're proud to connect professionals across the globe with companies that value what they bring.

What started as a vision to support tech companies in need of affordable and skilled marketing talent has evolved into The Global Talent Co., a pioneering recruitment agency focused on remote staffing solutions. Founded by entrepreneurial spirits Roman Kirsch and Brett Stapper, the company was birthed from the realization that many US and EU tech companies were struggling to find capable marketing professionals without incurring exorbitant costs. The Global Talent Co. quickly established its mission: to provide exclusive access to the top 5% of marketing professionals from South Africa, a country rich in talent and cultural compatibility with Western markets.

Our process is meticulously crafted to ensure quality and efficiency. We thoughtfully vet candidates through a rigorous selection process that includes skills-based assessments and interviews. This guarantees that only the most capable marketers, who not only have the right experience but are also fluent in English and aware of market dynamics, join our talent pool. As a result, we deliver high-caliber professionals to our clients in the tech industry who can seamlessly integrate into their teams and bolster their marketing efforts.
