About the role

Global Account Executive driving strategic, multi-million-dollar enterprise partnerships in Europe within Cradle’s AI-for-life-sciences platform.

Responsibilities

  • Drive business development across the global biotech and biopharma landscape, nurturing leads, identifying opportunities, and closing high-value enterprise deals.
  • Own strategic accounts, with a focus on large global players (including the top 10 pharma companies), and deliver millions in annually recurring revenue.
  • Partner cross-functionally with product, ML, engineering, and customer success teams to shape proposals and execute on high-impact, technically complex projects.
  • Act as the voice of the market, surfacing customer feedback and strategic insights to directly inform product direction and roadmap priorities.
  • Build a powerful personal brand in the biotech and AI-for-science space, attending global events, engaging with scientists and executives, and establishing yourself as a trusted advisor in the field.
  • Shape how we sell, improving playbooks, sales processes, and materials as we scale with the freedom to reimagine how enterprise sales is done in a science-driven startup.

Qualifications

  • Advanced degree in the life sciences (e.g. structural/molecular biology, bioinformatics, pharmaceutical sciences, biochemical engineering), or equivalent hands-on experience working with R&D teams in biotech or pharma.
  • 5+ years in B2B sales (ideally SaaS), with a proven track record of consistently exceeding quota (top 5%).
  • You’re confident navigating highly technical topics and translating them into business value for R&D stakeholders and executives alike.
  • You thrive in fast-paced, ambiguous environments, are energized by building from scratch and confident writing the playbook, not waiting for one.
  • You listen intently, are innately curious, and learn with humility.
