  • Stay Ahead: Monitor market trends, customer requirements, and competitor activity to inform strategy.

  • Deliver Impact: Ensure projects run smoothly, resolve challenges, and maintain exceptional customer satisfaction.

What You’ll Bring

  • Extensive knowledge of the pharmaceutical industry is a given; experience working with large, life sciences customer accounts strongly preferred.

  • At least 10 years in digital solution sales and account management with proven success in growing large, complex, global accounts.

  • Experience in automation or a JR Automation background would be highly advantageous.

  • The ability to navigate global enterprises and work across cultures and time zones.
