This search has been filled. ETHOSLINK completed this retained search and it is no longer accepting applications. The brief stays here as a record of the work.

A technical, specification-driven sales seat in the pharmaceutical and biotech segment, working deals that run anywhere from 90 days to three years. The work is getting designed in early — at OEMs, engineering firms, integrators, and end users — rather than quoting against a spec somebody else already wrote. Suits a hunter with a real professional network and enough engineering fluency to hold a technical conversation without backup.

What the seat owned

  • Own sales growth and annual revenue and profit targets for the pharmaceutical and biotech segment within a defined geography
  • Build and execute account and territory plans, with accurate and timely forecasting
  • Present the product, systems, and project-management portfolio to defined target customers
  • Drive specification at OEMs, engineering and design firms, distribution partners, integrators, and end users — engaging at the earliest stages of a project or OEM opportunity
  • Generate interest through plant and facility tours, coordinating key technical personnel
  • Work through business development, distribution, and key account channels to extend reach across the territory
  • Maintain disciplined CRM hygiene (Microsoft Dynamics) across contacts, meetings, and opportunities to keep global pipeline visibility accurate
  • Support distributors and customers in their own sales and marketing efforts within the territory
  • Negotiate agreements with new and existing distribution partners, covering strategic initiatives, inventory selection, and agreed targets
  • Train distribution partners, customers, and prospects on products and online ordering tools
  • Represent the business as an ambassador in the market, operating within published expense policy and budget
