Hear from Laura
Account Manager
What attracted you to a career in Account Management?
I was working in sales in the UK for 7 years, moving back to Ireland I wanted something in an account management space. I don’t enjoy cold-calling and hard-selling but maintaining business, dealing with people and building relationships is my strong point and what I really enjoy!
What do you like most about your day to day?
Working with a great team – at LSC we have our industry experts and people from very diverse backgrounds! It creates a very friendly culture, making it easy to ask questions and learn quickly. I love getting insight into the pharma industry, keeping up to date with clients projects, new drugs, vaccine development– it’s mind-blowing what’s happening with new technologies!
What keeps you motivated?
I love helping people and we work together here to solve problems! The role is structured, with lots of room for learning and progression. I’ve learned a lot about process, systems, organisation and planning since I joined LSC which makes life easier and takes the stress out of my day to day: it’s a really nice environment to work in!
Is there anything about the job that surprised you?
I didn’t know a whole lot about the Life Sciences before joining LSC. But the structure and process here are designed to get you up to speed quickly, the team are from a mix of industry and diverse backgrounds so we all learn from one another. You don’t need to have a background in science or engineering, if you enjoy dealing with people professionally, are willing to work hard and learn you could do this job really well!
