Job Description

An employer is looking for a Proposal Specialist/Business Representative to join their lab located in Midland, MI. This individual will join a team that writes proposals for chemistry focused studies for the following disciplines: consumer products, medical device, pharmaceuticals, specialty chemistry and bioanalytical. A request will come through the website/email and this person will meet with the client to gather specific specs that they are looking to uncover in the study. Then, you will either connect with the lab analyst to discuss how they would conduct the study or use your prior chemistry knowledge to write a proposal for how the study would be conducted. You will also include pricing in the proposal. Once the client accepts the proposal, the lab will begin working on the study. When the lab delivers the study to the client, you will be paid commission for the deal. You could work on anywhere from three to twelve proposals in a day depending on your experience level and the complexity of the proposal.
