Sales Manager (US)
About The Position
Lynx Analytics is a specialist AI services firm operating at the intersection of data, analytics, and life sciences. We work with leading pharma, biotech, and medtech organisations to design and deliver high-impact solutions — from AI-driven commercial analytics to pharmacovigilance and patient insights. Our work is hands-on, deeply technical, and built around real client outcomes. Our clients include some of the world's largest pharmaceutical companies — spanning oncology, commercial analytics, and beyond. We are a lean, expert team and we are growing, and are building out our commercial function to match. We are hiring a Sales Manager to help drive Lynx's commercial growth in life sciences. This is a hands-on, execution-focused role: you will carry your own pipeline and revenue targets, run complex sales cycles end-to-end, and work closely with our commercial leadership to strengthen the systems and account plans behind our growth. You will bring structure and consistency to day-to-day selling — prospecting, qualifying, proposing, and closing — while helping to build out the relationships, market coverage, and pipeline discipline that our commercial function needs as it scales. If you enjoy owning a number, running a disciplined sales process, and being part of building a commercial team from an early stage, this is that role.
Requirements
- A track record of winning and growing consulting or solutions-based business in life sciences — and you know how to run a disciplined sales process where the deals are complex, the buyers are senior, and the relationship matters as much as the proposal.
- 5–8+ years in commercial roles, with a track record of carrying and hitting a quota
- Proven ability to self-generate pipeline — comfortable with cold outreach, prospecting, and turning cold contacts into qualified conversations, not just working inbound leads
- Credibility in life sciences — whether from the commercial, data, digital, or R&D side
- Experience selling analytics, AI, or professional services engagements — where the value is in expertise and outcomes, not just the product
- Comfortable operating with some ambiguity, and skilled at bringing structure and discipline to a sales process
- A strong operator who can translate a territory or market plan into consistent day-to-day execution
- Confident engaging director- and VP-level stakeholders, with the presence to build trust as a peer
- Motivated by being part of building a commercial function from an early stage
Responsibilities
- Own and deliver on revenue targets across target markets and net-new business
- Proactively prospect and generate new leads — cold outreach, targeted research, and networking to build a pipeline of new logos
- Manage the full sales cycle — from first outreach and qualification through to proposal, negotiation, and close
- Build and maintain a healthy, well-qualified pipeline, with accurate forecasting and CRM hygiene
- Identify and pursue expansion opportunities within accounts you win, in partnership with delivery
- Work with delivery and leadership teams to shape proposals, pricing, and solution positioning for each opportunity
- Develop and maintain relationships with client stakeholders across pharma, biotech, and medtech prospects
- Support go-to-market execution — messaging, service packaging, and campaign follow-up — in partnership with leadership
- Represent Lynx at client meetings, industry conferences, and key forums
- Contribute to building out the commercial team and playbook as the function scales
