• Strong foundation through education and experience, with a bachelor’s degree or equivalent practical experience; exposure to analytical instrumentation or service-led organizations is a plus
• Results-driven and proactive approach, energized by achieving targets and continuously finding smarter, more effective ways to grow service revenue.
• Outstanding communication and relationship-building skills, with the ability to listen, collaborate, and clearly articulate value to customers from diverse industries and backgrounds
• Confident sales capability, including negotiation, closing, and pipeline management, supported by experience using CRM tools such as Salesforce (or the willingness to learn)
• Digitally curious and data-informed, comfortable using AI, digital tools, and insights to drive lead generation, forecasting, and customer-focused decision-making
• Customer-first and adaptable, thriving in fast-paced environments while applying a “test and learn” mindset to evolving customer needs and market conditions
