Senior Account Executive, Life Sciences

Tulip Interfaces • Somerville, MA

About The Position

Tulip brings modern technology and AI into manufacturing. Manufacturing accounts for almost 20% of the global economy and one in every seven workers on Earth, yet remains among the least digitized. More than a decade ago, we created the category to close that gap: AI-native software that puts cutting-edge tools directly in the hands of the people on the manufacturing front lines. Because we are human-centered and tech-obsessed, we are building a future of work where human ingenuity is amplified with the latest technology. In January 2026 we became one of Boston's few new AI unicorns, reaching a $1.3B valuation. We're growing double digits in revenue year over year. The world's best manufacturers run on Tulip - turning inventory 10x faster, releasing gene therapies in hours instead of weeks, and training master craftspeople to forge engagement rings 5x more rapidly. In Life Sciences, 7 of the top 10 pharmaceutical companies trust Tulip. Pharma and biotech teams use our platform across manufacturing, quality, labs and warehouses - with applications ranging from electronic batch records, equipment logbooks and weigh-and-dispense, to QC sample management, deviation handling and material tracking. Built to support FDA 21 CFR Part 11 and EU GMP Annex 11, Tulip helps customers release batches faster and improve right-first-time rates without disrupting validated operations. Headquartered in Somerville, MA with offices in Germany, Hungary, Singapore, Japan, and Israel, we've been consistently named a World Economic Forum Global Innovator, a Gartner leader, and one of Built In Boston's "Best Places to Work." We run the way we build: AI-forward, humanistic, and high ownership. We're looking for builders who are energized by complex problems, rapid cycles, and the unique opportunity to see their impact on a global scale.
