You’ll work closely with Marketing, Solutions, Product, and Customer Success to execute outbound prospecting campaigns, generate opportunities, deliver a coordinated customer experience, and expand Labbit’s presence within target accounts and markets. You’ll maintain accurate CRM and forecasting data, stay current on trends and the competitive landscape across laboratory informatics and life sciences, and represent Labbit at industry events and customer meetings.
