Technical Service Directors/Managers
Are you a cosmetic ingredients professional with a passion for cutting-edge biotechnology
— and a network to match?
Who We are?
Dermatide Biotec is a Singapore-based biotech start-up on a mission to redefine what active ingredients can do for skin and personal care. Our flagship ingredient, AKNETIDE®, is the world’s first antimicrobial cyclopeptide derived from non-GMO Bacillus fermentation — a genuinely novel, science-backed, multi-mechanism active with a compelling story that practically sells itself to the right audience.
And we’re just getting started. 👀 A pipeline of equally exciting bioactive peptides for broader personal care applications is on its way.
We are looking for entrepreneurial, science-savvy, and well-connected individuals to join us as Technical Service Directors / Managers across four strategic markets:
What You'll Do
- Be the scientific and commercial face of AKNETIDE® (and our pipeline) in your market;
- Build and nurture relationships with cosmetic ingredient distributors, formulators, brand R&D teams, and contract manufacturers;
- Translate our rich, comprehensive efficacy and safety data into compelling, technically credible conversations;
- Identify partnership and distribution opportunities; support business development efforts with local intelligence;
- Represent Dermatide Biotec at industry events, trade shows, and customer visits in your region
What We're Looking For
✅ Solid background in biotechnology, cosmetic science, biochemistry, or a related discipline — you need to genuinely understand antimicrobial peptides and what our data means;
✅ Proven track record in technical sales, business development, or technical service within the cosmetic ingredients or specialty chemicals industry;
✅ Deep, active network of cosmetic formulators, ingredient buyers, and distributors in your target market — this is non-negotiable;
✅ Self-driven, entrepreneurial spirit — you thrive with autonomy and know how to open doors;
✅ Excellent communication skills; able to bridge science and commerce fluently;
✅ Fluency in the primary language(s) of your target market is a strong plus, besides proficiency in English.
What We Offer
🌱 Ground-floor opportunity with a genuinely novel, world-first ingredient — you won’t be selling “me-too” products;
🌍 Full remote/work-from-home flexibility;
🤝 A small, experienced, and passionate founding team that punches well above its weight;
📈 Performance-linked attractive compensation with significant upside as the brand grows globally;
🔬 Rich, comprehensive technical dossier and application data to support your conversations — you’ll be well-equipped from day one.
