Job Description

Job Title: Business Development Manager — Diagnostics KittingReports To: Director, Global CommerceDirect Reports: NoLocation: RemoteJob 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 logosbusinesses 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.
