About Us

At Loopworm, we are building a breakthrough recombinant protein production platform using insects as mini bio-factories. Unlike conventional cell-culture systems, our platform delivers complex proteins at significantly lower cost and faster timelines. We are now entering the high-potential markets of manufacturing and supplying recombinant proteins for biotech lab research, diagnostic & assay kits, and proteins required to support Drug development work, and are looking for a passionate professional to lead commercial growth at this early stage.

The Opportunity

This is a unique role that blends Business Development and Marketing in one. You will be the face of our recombinant protein portfolio, helping researchers, diagnostics companies, and biotech startups access high-quality, affordable proteins. From small-pack reagents to custom constructs, you will drive both fast wins and long-term recurring contracts.

  • Create and execute marketing campaigns: scientific content, digital outreach, conferences/webinars.
  • Manage proposals, quotations, and negotiations with a sharp eye on ROI.
  • Maintain pipeline and forecasts using CRM tools.
  • Act as the bridge between customers and our R&D team for feedback-driven innovation.

Who Should Apply
