Scientific Solutions Partner- Central US

TetraScience is hiring a Scientific Solutions Partner- Central US in Illinois. It is a full-time position. The salary range published with the job is $120,000 to $200,000 a year.

Here is the role as TetraScience describes it.

About TetraScience

TetraScience is the Scientific Data and AI Company building Tetra OS, the operating system for scientific intelligence. We help the world’s leading life sciences firms turn fragmented scientific data into AI-native assets and scientific workflows that accelerate discovery, development, and manufacturing. TetraScience’s growing ecosystem of strategic partners includes NVIDIA, Databricks, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Snowflake, Google, and Microsoft.

In connection with your candidacy, you will be asked to carefully review The Tetra Way authored by our CEO, Patrick Grady; it is impossible to overstate the importance of this document, and you should take it literally as you decide whether our mission, culture, and expectations are right for you.

The Role

The Scientific Solutions Partner is a new role born from a deliberate strategic choice: the most effective way to sell TetraScience’s Scientific Data and AI Cloud is to have one person who can credibly do both - win the scientific and technical confidence of the customer and manage the commercial relationship to close. No separate Account Executive needed.

This is not a traditional Account Executive role with a presales overlay. The Scientific Solutions Partner owns the full customer engagement, from prospecting and discovery through technical solutioning, proof-of-concept, RFP response, and close - and remains accountable for the account’s health, expansion, and renewal alongside the Delivery Manager. Both roles share accountability for identifying and progressing expansion opportunities within their accounts.

You will work with the world's largest enterprise biopharma, biotech, and life sciences companies, helping them understand how the Tetra Scientific Data Foundry and Tetra OS transforms siloed, raw scientific data into AI-ready scientific datasets across the medallion architecture (bronze → silver → gold → AI-native). You will engage audiences ranging from bench scientists and data engineers to CDOs, VPs of Divisional IT, VPs of Scientific areas, and digital transformation executives.

TetraScience provides its SSPs with AI-powered tools - including Claude Cowork and Codex - that automate RFPs, triage, and contracting workflows, enabling each SSP to operate with the leverage of a larger team.

What You’ll Do

Scientific & Technical Engagement

Lead technical discovery: understand the customer’s current lab data landscape - instruments, data formats, informatics stack, and data science ambitions

Design and present compelling solution architectures aligned to the customer’s specific scientific use cases (e.g., ADMET assays, FPLC/UPLC chromatography, bioassay data harmonization, AI training datasets) as well as understanding their core data management pain points and goals.

Always be leading with demo’s of actual software aligned to the customers main value levers.

Own and drive proof-of-concept and proof-of-value engagements, partnering with TetraScience scientific data architects to deliver credible, high-quality demonstrations of the Tetra Scientific Data Foundry’s capabilities

Own RFP technical responses end-to-end, synthesizing platform capabilities, scientific use cases, and customer-specific requirements into compelling, accurate submissions

Articulate the medallion data architecture in scientific and business terms: how bronze (raw scientific data), silver (harmonized Tetra Data), and gold (analysis-ready datasets) each create value, and how TetraScience’s AI-native layer accelerates scientific outcomes

Stay current on the scientific and informatics landscape - relevant assay workflows, instrument vendors, SDMS/ELN/LIMS/analytical software integrations, and AI/ML use cases in drug discovery and development

Commercial Ownership

Prospect, qualify, and build territory pipeline in alignment with the TetraScience go-to-market strategy

Relentlessly identify and close expansion opportunities across new labs, instruments, geographies, sites, and use cases within existing accounts

Manage the full sales cycle from discovery through contracting, using modern sales methodologies (MEDDIC, MEDDPIC, Force Management, or similar)

Maintain a rigorous, accurate pipeline with consistent forecasting and visibility to leadership

Build and expand relationships across the customer organization, from individual contributors to executive sponsors

Identify and close expansion opportunities across new labs, instruments, geographies, sites, and use cases within existing accounts

Partner with the Delivery Manager to ensure smooth handoff from sales to delivery, maintaining continuity of scientific context

Market & Thought Leadership

Represent TetraScience at industry conferences, seminars, and customer events as a scientifically credible voice

Contribute customer and market insights back to product, marketing, and science teams to inform roadmap and messaging

Help develop compelling content - case studies, solution briefs, demo narratives - that advances the category

Requirements

What You Bring

A Bachelors in a life science, chemistry, or engineering discipline required. A MS or PhD is highly preferred; equivalent practical experience considered

5+ years of combined scientific, technical, and commercial experience in life sciences software, laboratory informatics, scientific data infrastructure, or adjacent domains

Direct experience in pharma, biotech, or CRO/CDMO environments - either as a scientist, scientific software professional, or sales/solutions professional serving these customers

Demonstrated ability to lead technical sales cycles in enterprise SaaS or scientific software, including POC design and execution and RFP ownership

Deep familiarity with laboratory workflows and data: you understand what it means when a customer has 50 instruments generating unstructured data that no one can analyze

Fluency with scientific data concepts: file formats, instrument connectivity, data harmonization, and the path from raw data to AI-ready datasets

Experience with modern sales methodologies (MEDDIC, MEDDPIC, Force Management, or similar)

Strong executive presence - equally compelling in a whiteboard architecture session and a C-suite business case conversation

Proficiency with CRM and digital sales tools (Salesforce, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, ZoomInfo, SalesLoft, or equivalent)

Ability to travel (approximately 25%) to client sites within assigned region

100% employer-paid benefits for all eligible employees and immediate family members
