We are seeking a strategic, results-driven, and hands‑on Chief Revenue Officer to own Catalant’s revenue and marketing strategy and lead its execution in the marketplace.

Reporting to the CEO and serving as a member of the executive team, this role is accountable for the company’s full commercial organization: the sales organization - with both Enterprise and Private Equity focused teams - the Marketing function, Revenue Operations, and Sales Operations. This leader will define how Catalant goes to market across the Fortune 500 and the world’s top private equity firms, build the brand and demand engine that fuels the pipeline, own the revenue and marketing KPIs that measure commercial performance, and own the talent strategy that attracts, develops, and retains the sales and marketing teams behind that growth.
