CI&T is looking for a Senior Sales Executive  to drive new business within the Life Sciences sector as part of our North America operations. This is a quota-carrying role for a seller who pairs a strong track record of closing complex deals with a consultative, solutions-first approach based on services.

You will identify, qualify, and close sales opportunities for digital services and solutions across pharma, biotech, and medtech.

What You Will Do:

Pipeline Generation & Sales Execution

- Conduct needs-based discovery assessments and present insights that turn prospect conversations into material opportunities
- Negotiate and close contracts, coordinating with legal to ensure agreements are executed as intended

Consultative Solutioning & Proposal Development

- Use a consultative approach to uncover client pain points and translate complex business wants and needs into viable, structured solution visions
- Lead high-level client meetings and facilitate interactive workshop sessions with prospect stakeholders
- Coordinate and lead sales engineering and the appropriate Growth Unit to develop mutually beneficial proposals, SOWs, and commercial models
- Serve as the bridge between the client and internal teams (Design, Engineering, Delivery), coaching them on industry context so proposals are technically sound and commercially successful

Market Development & Thought Leadership

- Review target accounts for buying signals, identify opportunities, and develop strategic industry partnerships to grow the business
- Develop and maintain strong relationships with key decision makers and influencers across the Life Sciences market
- Work closely with marketing and vertical leadership to develop and execute prospect communication plans and GTM strategies tailored to Life Sciences
- Contribute to thought leadership on industry-relevant topics to elevate CI&T's positioning in the market
- Represent CI&T at industry events, trade shows, and conferences

What You Bring:

- 7-10 years of sales experience within a professional services or consulting organization, with a track record of meeting and exceeding quota
- 5+ years of experience within Life Sciences, including areas such as digital strategy, product management, technology services, HCP digital engagement, or patient digital engagement solutions
- Strong grasp of B2B solutions and services sales, and the role business development plays in lead generation and qualification
- Deep understanding of the Life Sciences regulatory environment, including GxP and HIPAA
- Familiarity with modern technology trends in the sector, including the application of AI/GenAI in Life Sciences
- Strong communication and presentation skills, engaging stakeholders from practitioners to the C-suite
- Strategic thinker with the ability to craft creative solutions in the face of opposition
- Self-motivated, goal-driven, and able to work autonomously while collaborating seamlessly with sales, engineering, and design stakeholders
- Willingness to master our CRM and maintain rigorous pipeline hygiene
- Ability to travel up to 25% for client workshops, partner meetings, and key internal events
