TetraScience is the Scientific Data and AI Company building Tetra OS, the operating system for scientific intelligence. We help the world’s leading life sciences firms turn fragmented scientific data into AI-native assets and scientific workflows that accelerate discovery, development, and manufacturing. TetraScience’s growing ecosystem of strategic partners includes NVIDIA, Databricks, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Snowflake, Google, and Microsoft.
In connection with your candidacy, you will be asked to carefully review “The Tetra Way,” authored by our CEO, Patrick Grady; it is impossible to overstate the importance of this document, and you should take it literally as you decide whether our mission, culture, and expectations are right for you.
The Director, Scientific Solutions is a senior leadership role born from a deliberate strategic choice: the most effective way to sell and scale TetraScience’s Scientific Data and AI Cloud is to have a leader who can credibly do both — win the scientific and technical confidence of the customer and own the commercial relationship through close — while leading and developing a team of Scientific Solutions Partners. No separate Account Executive needed.
This is not a traditional sales-management role with a presales overlay. The Director owns the most strategic accounts in the region personally while building, coaching, and holding accountable a team of Scientific Solutions Partners. You will set commercial strategy for your territory, model the full customer engagement — from prospecting and discovery through technical solutioning, proof-of-concept, RFP response, and close — and remain accountable for the health, expansion, and renewal of the book of business alongside Delivery Management. You carry both an individual mandate on flagship accounts and a leadership mandate for your team’s collective number.
You will work with the world’s largest enterprise biopharma, biotech, and life sciences companies, helping them understand how the Tetra Scientific Data Foundry and Tetra OS transform siloed, raw scientific data into AI-ready scientific datasets across the medallion architecture (bronze → silver → gold → AI-native). You and your team will engage audiences ranging from bench scientists and data engineers to CDOs, VPs of Divisional IT, VPs of Scientific areas, and digital transformation executives.
TetraScience provides its solutions leaders with AI-powered tools — including Claude Cowork and Codex — that automate RFPs, triage, and contracting workflows, enabling each leader and their team to operate with the leverage of a much larger organization.
Advanced degree in a life science, chemistry, or engineering discipline preferred (MS or PhD); equivalent practical experience considered
12+ years of combined scientific, technical, and commercial experience in life sciences software, laboratory informatics, scientific data infrastructure, or adjacent domains
Demonstrated leadership experience — managing, coaching, or formally leading sales/solutions professionals, or strong evidence of player-coach leadership and the readiness to build and run a team
Proven track record of personally owning and closing enterprise deals while elevating the performance of others around you
Direct experience in pharma, biotech, or CRO/CDMO environments — as a scientist, scientific software professional, or sales/solutions professional serving these customers
Demonstrated ability to lead and coach complex technical sales cycles in enterprise SaaS or scientific software, including POC design and execution and RFP ownership
Deep familiarity with laboratory workflows and data: you understand what it means when a customer has 50 instruments generating unstructured data that no one can analyze
Fluency with scientific data concepts: file formats, instrument connectivity, data harmonization, and the path from raw data to AI-ready datasets
Experience with modern sales methodologies (MEDDIC, MEDDPICC, Force Management, or similar) and the ability to instill them across a team is very useful but not essential
Strong executive presence — equally compelling in a whiteboard architecture session, a C-suite business case conversation, and an internal leadership forum
Ability to travel (approximately 30%) to client sites within assigned region
100% employer-paid benefits for all eligible employees and immediate family members
Unlimited paid time off (PTO)

No applications, no recruiter spam. Just the intro.
A few questions to make sure this role is the right shape for you. Two minutes.
I write the intro, send it to the founder, and handle the back-and-forth.
If they’re a yes, I book the chat. You show up — that’s the whole job-hunt.
