• Maintain a strong field presence through customer visits, technical seminars, vendor shows, and industry events — engaging scientists at the bench as well as decision-makers at the leadership and procurement level.
• Build multilevel relationships across end users, influencers, and decision-makers; lead strategic opportunities from technical evaluation through commercial close, developing account plans, proposals, and long-term agreements.
• Capture field insights and customer feedback routinely to inform product development and commercial strategy, while collaborating with Sales, Marketing, and Product teams to align customer needs with broader business objectives.
