Key skills for this role
Teiko is looking for an Account Executive to join our growing commercial team. This is a sales role for someone who is excited to build relationships with scientists and decision-makers across biotech and pharma while helping grow an early-stage life sciences company.
You will own the middle of our funnel. Qualified leads reach you from marketing and our SDR team, and your job is to turn them into qualified buyers: running discovery, uncovering budget, authority, need and timing, nurturing the ones that are not ready yet, and moving the ones that are into technical evaluation and proposal. For TokuKit, you will carry that through to the PO yourself. On larger enterprise deals, you will bring the opportunity to the table and work alongside commercial leadership to negotiate and close. You will also grow existing accounts and represent Teiko at conferences and events.
This is a highly cross-functional role on a team that is still being built. We are looking for someone who wants to sell, build relationships, learn the science, sharpen their negotiation and closing skills alongside our commercial leadership, and help shape how we go to market as the company grows.
What you'll do
Qualification and pipeline progression
Take qualified leads from marketing and the SDR team and move them to qualified buyers
Run discovery to uncover budget, authority, need and timing, and document what you learn in HubSpot
Lead customer meetings to understand scientific, technical, and business needs and translate them into the right Teiko solution
Nurture leads that are not yet ready, with a real cadence and a reason to come back
Prioritize your pipeline so effort goes where it converts, and be honest about what will not
Partner with Teiko's scientific team to support technical evaluations and move opportunities forward
Maintain an accurate sales pipeline, CRM, revenue forecast, opportunity stages, and next steps across your accounts
