Business Development Specialist - Diagnostic Kitting

Tennant Solutions
Boston, MA
Job Title: Business Development Manager — Diagnostics Kitting
Reports To : Director, Global Commerce
Direct Reports : No
Location : Remote

Job Summary: Tennant Solutions is expanding beyond its core clinical efficacy kitting business into the broader diagnostics market — at-home test manufacturers, reference labs, and clinical trial sponsors. This is a new hunter role : the first sales hire dedicated to this expansion, with a mandate to build pipeline and close new logos business  from a standing start.

There is no existing book of business in this vertical. Success depends on prospecting, relationship-building, and consultative selling into diagnostics companies with no prior awareness of Tennant Solutions' kitting capabilities.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Prospect and open new accounts across diagnostics manufacturers, reference labs, and clinical trial sponsors with no existing relationship with Tennant Solutions.
  • Build and manage a full-cycle sales pipeline — cold outreach and discovery through proposal, negotiation, and close.
  • Translate technical kitting capabilities (component sourcing, cleanroom assembly, sterile packaging, lot traceability) into a value proposition specific to diagnostics buyers: regulatory pressure, IVDR/FDA compliance, supply chain reliability, and scale-up speed.
  • Partner with operations and quality teams to scope custom kitting proposals, validate feasibility, and price new business.
  • Represent Tennant Solutions at industry conferences, trade shows, and diagnostics-sector events to build visibility in a market where the company has no existing brand presence.
  • Report pipeline, forecast, and win/loss data to leadership on a [weekly/monthly] cadence to inform go-to-market strategy for the vertical.
  • Feed market intelligence back to leadership on diagnostics-sector needs, competitive positioning, and pricing to shape the long-term strategy for this expansion.

Qualifications:
Required:
  • 3+ years of medical device industry sales experience , with demonstrated success in a hunter or new-business-development capacity — not primarily account management.
  • Proven ability to prospect and close new logos businesses without inherited pipeline or existing relationships.
  • Comfort selling technical, custom-engineered solutions rather than off-the-shelf products.
  • Ability to travel up to 50% for client visits, trade shows, and conferences.
Preferred:
  • Direct experience selling kitting, contract manufacturing, or contract packaging services into medical device or diagnostics OEMs.
  • Existing relationships or familiarity with diagnostics-sector buyers : at-home test manufacturers, reference labs, or clinical trial sponsors/CROs.
  • Working knowledge of IVD regulatory context (FDA, IVDR) sufficient to speak credibly with technical and quality stakeholders.
  • Experience selling into procurement and quality/regulatory stakeholders simultaneously — multi-threaded, longer-cycle B2B sales.
Job Setting / Environment :
  • Location: Remote or Hybrid
  • Location: On-site/ Remote/ Hybrid
  • Travel Required: up to 50%
  • Preference for candidates who reside in the Eastern, Central and Mountain time zones.
