Key Responsibilities:
Revenue & Sales Execution
* Own and consistently achieve or exceed a $1.5M annual quota within the Indirect Mid-Market segment.
* Drive end-to-end enterprise sales cycles, from opportunity qualification through negotiation, close, and customer handoff.
* Develop and execute territory and account strategies aligned with industry priorities and regional growth objectives.
* Build and maintain a strong, qualified pipeline with accurate forecasting across rolling quarters and fiscal year.
* Execute complex negotiations in compliance with internal policies (Finance, Legal), partner frameworks, and regulatory requirements.
Partner-Led Selling (Critical)
* Sell with and through VARs and System Integrators, acting as a trusted co-seller and strategic advisor.

* Develop a deep understanding of customer business challenges in the context of product innovation: formulating new products, reformulating existing ones, performing experiments and process development, and researching materials science and chemistry to understand structure-property relationships.
* Position BIOVIA solutions as strategic enablers of scientific transformation - not point products - spanning the full innovation lifecycle from R&D to quality and manufacturing.
* Support customer success during deployment and adoption, including both On Premise and Cloud/SaaS environments.

* Contribute to best practices through deal reviews, win/loss analysis, and lessons learned.
* Act as a champion for the BIOVIA brand, industry strategy, and value-based selling framework.
- Future Leadership Scope
