Job Function
Sales

Overview

SciY is scaling quickly. We need a driven, field-oriented commercial leader who owns the number end-to-end and can personally drive net new business (NOB) while building a repeatable revenue engine. This is not a large-company role optimized for committees, long planning cycles, or brand-level orchestration. It is a roll-up-your-sleeves, revenue-first role: set the pace, win lighthouse customers, and scale the team and partner ecosystem behind a clear commercial operating system.

You will own:

  • Global NOB quota (primary metric): pipeline creation, deal execution, win rate, ASP, sales cycle, and bookings.
  • Revenue engine across enterprise software + services attach (where applicable), and expansion motions (secondary to NOB).
  • Commercial strategy and execution for SciY Digitalization Suite.
  • Forecast accuracy and disciplined pipeline hygiene.

Location: Boston area - expect occasional on-site presence in Billerica, MA. We will consider remote based candidates located within Continental U.S., near a major airport.

Responsibilities

Win business personally (player/coach):

  • Lead from the front: personally run a small set of strategic pursuits (lighthouse accounts, strategic partners, high-ASP platform deals).
  • Own the largest negotiations, procurement cycles, and executive alignment.
  • Build and deploy a “win plan” approach: stakeholders, value hypothesis, mutual close plans, competitive strategy.

Build a high-performance sales org (lean, fast, accountable):

  • Hire, develop, and manage a team of hunters (AEs) plus solutions/SE resources as needed.
  • Establish a clear sales methodology, qualification standards, SCOTSMAN-style rigor, and tight deal inspection.
  • Set compensation, territories, account coverage, and performance management with high standards and urgency.
  • Coach and drive the team through complex sales.

Create repeatable pipeline generation, not just marketing leads:

  • Define ICP and target segments; build a pipeline machine through executive programs, conferences, and partner-sourced motions.
  • Tight alignment with marketing for message and campaigns, but sales-owned pipeline creation.
  • Instrument the funnel: activity → meetings → qualified pipeline → wins.

Scale partners and ecosystem to multiply reach:

  • Build partner routes to market (SI, platform partners, instrument/automation ecosystem, data/LIMS/ELN adjacency).
  • Create simple, enforceable partner rules: deal registration, joint value props, co-selling motions, enablement, and partner scorecards.

Commercial operating system (simple, measurable, relentless):

  • Weekly forecast calls that matter; monthly business reviews with clear actions.
  • CRM discipline (SFDC or equivalent): stage definitions, exit criteria, next steps, and close plans.
  • Track and improve the handful of KPIs that drive NOB: pipeline coverage, conversion, win rate, cycle time, ASP, forecast accuracy.

Voice of customer and product feedback loop:

  • Bring structured customer insights to Product: objections, must-have integrations, pricing/packaging, competitive moves.
  • Help shape packaging and commercial offers that shorten sales cycles and increase ASP.

Establish and lead a global Key Account Management discipline:

  • Design and implement a structured KAM framework for SciY’s top strategic customers
  • Accountable for the creation of multi-level account maps and develop executive alignment strategies across science, IT, operations, procurement, and digital transformation stakeholders.
  • Drive expansion within strategic accounts by identifying upsell and cross-sell paths across the SciY portfolio
  • Ensure long-term account health: renewal discipline, multi-year roadmap co-creation, risk‑mitigation plans, and continuous value realization.
  • Partner closely with Scientific BD and Product Management to transform customer insights into co‑development, co‑innovation, or lighthouse references.

Drive geographic expansion into new regions / countries:

  • Build the commercial playbook for penetration of new territories (e.g., APAC, India, LATAM, Middle East, or strategic European regions depending on SciY roadmap).
  • Accountable for defining the market entry model for each region: direct sales, hybrid, channel-led, or partner-led.
  • In collaboration with BD and market management, evaluate regional market potential, competitive landscape, regulatory context, and the instrument ecosystem to prioritize expansion investments.
  • Establish scalable coverage models, demand generation plays, and the first wave of lighthouse accounts per region.

Expand channel coverage through value‑based distributors / dealers:

  • Accountable for the execution of a channel strategy specifically adapted to SaaS + scientific software: value‑based partners who can deliver pre‑ and post‑sales capabilities, implementation support, or domain expertise. Align and benefit from existing Bruker ecosystem.
  • Accountable for a clear partner criteria: vertical domain expertise, existing customer base, technical capability, alignment with SciY’s digitalization vision and Bruker’s existing Value Based Dealer criteria.
  • Accountable for the implementation of governance for channels: tiering, certification, enablement pathways, revenue expectations, rules of engagement, deal registration, and performance scorecards. 
  • Ensure channel partners drive net‑new pipeline, not only fulfilment.

Drive growth through new customer acquisition:

  • Build and execute a scalable new‑customer acquisition motion targeting any lab, department, site, or workflow group that has not previously purchased from SciY.
  • Work with marketing and PM to define value propositions for the identified buyer personas to drive consistent new customer entry points.
  • Lead from the front on strategic first‑land deals and ensure each new customer becomes a foundation for rapid, repeatable expansion across additional teams and workflows.

What “Good” Looks Like in 6–12 Months:

  • Pipeline coverage consistently at target (e.g., 3–4x) with improving conversion and forecast accuracy.
  • Multiple lighthouse NOB wins and a credible set of referenceable customers.
  • A-train sales team in place: high activity, high standards, tight execution.
  • Clear partner motion producing real pipeline (not just “alliances in name”).

Perform other duties as required. 

Qualifications

  • Minimum 15+ years work experience in B2B enterprise software sales, with at least 5–8 recent years work experience leading teams.
  • Demonstrated success as an NOB hunter who has personally closed complex, multi-stakeholder enterprise deals (ideally platform/data/regulated markets).
  • Experience selling into life sciences/biopharma/R&D/quality/manufacturing data environments is a plus—however sales horsepower matters the most.
  • Proven successful track record and comfortable in technical/value-based selling: can hold their own with IT, data, and science stakeholders—and with the CFO/procurement.
  • Demonstrated ability to build a commercial engine in a growth stage/scale-up context (not only large public-company environments).
