Nodexus Inc. (www.nodexus.com) is a biotechnology company that develops tools to accelerate biological workflows and make them universally accessible. Nodexus recently closed a $30M Series A financing round in order to advance commercialization of its flagship NX One platform and is backed by leading life science venture capital firms (RA Capital and Section 32).  The NX One leverages microfluidics to enable efficient, easy-to-use, and affordable cell isolation for the quickest growing sectors of biotechnology.  For more information see http://www.nodexus.com 

The NX One is launching soon and Nodexus is building a sales organization from the ground up.  Reporting directly to a VP of Sales with decades of experience building and scaling a major laboratory tools organization, this is a rare opportunity to be one of the first Regional Sales hires at Nodexus and get a foot in the door as we prepare for aggressive growth. Beyond the attractive financial aspects of this opportunity, you also will see how innovative, accessible and affordable technology platforms are built while getting exposure to a well-funded, rapidly scaling organization. Within the North Eastern region, you will be partnering with scientists who are burdened with bottlenecks in their research and lack access to automated laboratory instruments.  Your main job is to identify these people and organizations and help them solve these problems through the use of enabling research tools.  

Do you love science but don’t want to be in the lab all the time?  Do you thrive on working in an entrepreneurial, collegial team environment with cutting-edge technology?   Are you interested in an opportunity to accelerate your career trajectory?  Are you a natural networker that thrives on building lasting relationships?  You could be a great fit for our Regional Sales opportunity.
