About Genomics

Genomics is a health-tech firm using genetic data to estimate disease risk, enable early detection, and support drug discovery. Backed by North Carolina Biotechnology Center.

About the role

We are looking for a strategic New Business Hunter to drive enterprise sales into the Research & Development (R&D) arms of global pharma and biotech companies. This isn't a standard account management role; we need a closer who understands the life sciences landscape, speaks the language of R&D scientists, and knows how to navigate complex, high-value enterprise sales cycles from first contact to signed contract.

What they're looking for

  • Proven Hunter: You have a substantial, proven track record of net-new enterprise SaaS, digital health, or technology sales into pharma and biotech, with demonstrable success closing complex, high-value deals
  • Pharma R&D Domain Expert: You have deep experience selling directly into Research, Discovery, and R&D departments inside major pharmaceutical companies. You navigate senior scientific and commercial stakeholders with ease
  • Scientifically Credible: You possess a strong working knowledge of genetics or genomics-enough to speak credibly, confidently, and compellingly about what advanced genetic analytics can unlock for drug discovery
  • Commercial Strategist: You think critically about markets, positioning, and competitive landscapes, bringing that strategic lens to every deal
  • Autonomy: You are a self-directed, senior operator who thrives in a fast-paced scale-up environment
  • Education: A degree in Life Sciences, Business, or a related field is required, an advanced degree (MSc/PhD) is a genuine asset
