Business Development Manager Validation & Compliance

As Business Development Manager at Agidens, you will be responsible for the development and further expansion of our business activities within our Validation & Compliance division. With more than 25 years of experience and a team of about 140 consultants, our Validation & Compliance team is a leading player in the field of validations within the life sciences industry.
We operate in Belgium, the Netherlands and Switzerland.
In this position, you are responsible for both acquiring new customers and supporting existing customers in Flanders. You will search for new customers, identify their needs, prepare quotations and negotiate contracts.
What will you do?
- You actively seek out new clients and project opportunities within the pharmaceutical industry and hospitals.
- You identify customer needs and create tailor-made solutions and proposals related to validation, testing, and compliance.
- You build and maintain strong relationships with various stakeholders, both at the client side and internally.

- Acquisition and cold calling come naturally to you — you enjoy establishing new customer contacts.
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills in both Dutch and English are essential.
- Knowledge of validation activities and GMP within the pharmaceutical industry is a plus, but not a must. “Patient Safety” is one of your core values.
- You are a driven team player who aims to achieve shared goals. A hands-on mentality, flexibility, and the ability to take initiative are highly valued.
- “Get things done!” is your motto — we emphasize that experience is more important than formal education. A bachelor’s or master’s degree is not required.
What do we offer you?
- A varied job in a rapidly growing high-tech company
- Continuing to develop and challenge yourself. With the company motto “Progress never Stops”.
- You will join a young and dynamic team
- Company values: strive for excellence, show respect, take ownership and be open-minded.
- Optimal work-life balance thanks to 36 days off, flexible hours and the possibility of working from home.
