Job description

About CryoVeritas

CryoVeritas is developing a new generation of visual temperature indicators for life-science applications. Our technology provides a simple, low-cost way to identify temperature excursions directly at the vial, sample, or product level, including frozen and ultra-cold workflows.

We're an early-stage company working with leading pharmaceutical, biotechnology, research, and biobanking organizations.

The Role

We're looking for an ambitious, highly self-directed person to help build our outbound sales engine.

Your primary objective is simple: find organizations that could benefit from our technology, identify the right people within those organizations, start conversations, and get qualified prospects into meetings with our commercial team.

This is not a role where you'll be handed a list and asked to mindlessly send templated emails. You'll learn how our technology is used, research prospective customers, identify relevant applications, experiment with messaging, and determine what gets customers interested.

You'll work directly with the CEO and VP of Sales and have an opportunity to take on increasing responsibility as the company grows.

Think of this as an entry point to a sales career in the life sciences. You'll focus on mastering the front end of the sales process: finding the right accounts, starting conversations, and booking qualified meetings.

Time Commitment & Structure

• This is a part-time role; plan on approximately 16 hours per week
• Set your own schedule, as long as your outreach lands during business hours
• Expect regular collaboration with the CEO and VP of Sales

Compensation

On-target earnings once ramped are $4,800 per month, consisting of base and performance compensation.

• Meetings: $150 for each qualified meeting that takes place
• Goal bonus: $500 in any month you hit 12 qualified meetings

Twelve qualified meetings puts you at $4,800. Meeting incentives are uncapped, so a bigger month pays more.

A qualified meeting is sourced through your outbound work, involves an account and contact that fit CryoVeritas's agreed target profile, and is attended by the prospect. Qualification criteria will be documented during onboarding and applied consistently by the VP of Sales.

Expect the first 30 to 60 days to ramp while you learn the market and build your first lists.

There are no territories or closing commissions at this stage. You are paid for meetings, the part of the process you control.

What You'll Do

• Research biotech, pharmaceutical, biobanking, cell therapy, research tools, CRO/CDMO, and other life-science organizations and workflows
• Identify scientists, lab managers, operations leaders, quality personnel, supply-chain leaders, and other relevant decision-makers
• Build and maintain focused account and prospect lists
• Conduct consistent, personalized outreach through email, LinkedIn, phone, and other appropriate channels
• Follow up professionally and schedule qualified introductory meetings and product demonstrations
• Attend selected customer calls to learn how customers evaluate and use our products
• Maintain accurate CRM data and track outreach, response, and meeting conversion rates
• Test markets, applications, and messaging, and provide weekly feedback to help refine our ideal customer profile and sales process

How We’ll Measure Success

Performance will be measured through:

• Consistent prospecting activity
• Quality of accounts and contacts identified
• Outreach and follow-up volume
• Response and engagement rates

Our target is 12 qualified meetings per month once you are ramped. That is the same number your goal bonus is tied to.

Who We’re Looking For

You may be a great fit if you:

• Have 1–3 years of professional experience in sales, business development, life sciences, or a related field
• Are genuinely interested in biotechnology and scientific products
• Are comfortable reaching out to people you've never met
• Communicate clearly and concisely in writing and over the phone
• Are persistent without being annoying
• Are highly organized and comfortable managing a large number of prospects
• Like figuring things out rather than waiting for detailed instructions
• Can work independently and hold yourself accountable to measurable goals
• Want to learn how an early-stage life-science company builds its commercial organization

A background in biology, biotechnology, biomedical engineering, chemistry, laboratory science, or life-science sales is helpful but not required.

Why Join

This is an opportunity to learn sales by helping build the sales function of an early-stage life-science company.

You'll work directly with company leadership, interact with scientists and executives at leading life-science organizations, and learn how new scientific products are commercialized.

As CryoVeritas grows, strong performance may lead to expanded responsibilities and future commercial opportunities. Any change in scope or employment status will depend on company needs, funding, and mutual agreement.
