Manager - Business Development & Marketing (Recombinant Proteins)
Loopworm
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.
