Redwood City, CA, USA
Posted on Friday, December 9, 2022
Are you a true believer that Bioengineering is the future of medical diagnostics and therapies, and CRISPR / gene editing is only the beginning? We are looking for someone who is inspired by our mission, would fit in well with the collaborative, rigorous, and entrepreneurial spirit of a mature start-up company culture, and be able to represent the value of Synthego’s platform technologies.
A Clinical Sales Consultant is responsible and accountable for the execution of the critical business function of identifying, developing, and growing the company’s Cell Therapy target client base and our GMP product portfolio. This hands-on, individual contributor role requires active outbound sales and prospecting efforts, as well as close cooperation with our internal GMP support team.

What You’ll Do

  • Learn and evangelize the value proposition and message of how Synthego’s Bench to Clinic synthetic biology products support and improve the cell therapy process through better data-driven decisions, leading to an increased chance of success in the clinic.
  • Focus and own revenue growth, with the goal of establishing Synthego as the primary supplier for genome editing products and services.
  • Own, drive, and close the entire sales cycle end-to-end, often in cooperation with Preclinical Sales, GMP Product, Quality, and Operations teams.
  • Continuously build strong relationships with established Commercial companies, non-commercial Institutions, and Universities with cell therapy programs from bench scientists to senior leadership (all stakeholders).
  • Map account structures (functional areas and personnel); identify and manage client profiles critical to closing a deal – influencers, budget owners, decision-makers, executive sponsor, etc.
  • Travel time is ~50% (out of office meeting with customers)
