  • Minimum 5 years of field-based commercial experience within the life sciences industry.
  • Demonstrated commercial experience selling DNA/RNA sequencing technologies, including next-generation sequencing (NGS) platforms, instruments, or related solutions.
  • Proven experience managing and developing distributor/channel partner networks, including joint business planning, partner enablement, pipeline development, and revenue growth.
  • Strong understanding of sequencing workflows, applications, and customer requirements within academic, government, biotechnology, and pharmaceutical research environments.
  • Proven ability to develop territories, identify new business opportunities, and close complex, multi-stakeholder sales opportunities through channel partners.
  • Strong forecasting, pipeline management, strategic account planning, and negotiation capabilities.
  • Excellent communication, presentation, and relationship-management skills, with the ability to influence both channel partners and end customers.
  • Ability to work independently within a matrixed, international commercial organization.
  • Proficiency with CRM systems and structured sales processes.
  • Fluency in English, Spanish, and Portuguese.

Nice to Have

  • Direct commercial experience with Oxford Nanopore, Illumina, PacBio, or other sequencing technology providers.
