    Job Description

    Sales Representative (Remote) – Chemistry, Life Sciences, Organic Chem

    Oakland, California | $60,000–$65,000/year + commission.

    You spent years learning science. Now you have the opportunity to turn that knowledge into a career.

    This is an entry-level sales opportunity for recent graduates in Organic Chemistry, Chemistry, Biochemistry, Life Sciences, and related fields who want to take their first step into the commercial side of science.

    You don't need years of sales experience. You don't need to come in knowing everything about sales. What matters is that you understand science, communicate well, are curious about customers, and are ready to learn.

    Why consider it:

    • Start your professional career in the growing life sciences industry

    • Turn your scientific education into a customer-facing career

    • Learn sales, business development, negotiation, and account management

    • Work with pharmaceutical, biotechnology, academic, and research organizations

    • Build relationships with scientists and researchers using products you understand

    • Develop a Northern California territory and grow your professional network

    • Gain exposure to everything from early-stage research to commercial production

    • Build a career where your scientific background becomes a real advantage

    What you'll be doing:

    You'll help researchers and organizations find the scientific products they need while developing your own sales career.

    You'll prospect for new customers, speak with scientists and purchasing teams, understand their research needs, recommend products, prepare quotations, manage opportunities, and build relationships that can turn into long-term business.

    You'll also work with internal technical, R&D, marketing, and customer service teams while learning how the commercial side of the life sciences industry works.

    What you'll need:

    • Bachelor's degree in Organic Chemistry, Chemistry, Medicinal Chemistry, Biochemistry, Life Sciences, or a related scientific field

    • Strong communication skills

    • Genuine interest in building a career in sales

    • Ability to explain scientific information clearly

    • Strong curiosity, organization, and follow-through

    • Must currently live in Northern California

    Sales experience is preferred, but recent graduates without sales experience are strongly encouraged to apply.

    This is an opportunity to take your science degree beyond the laboratory and build a career in the business side of the life sciences industry.
