About Scilife
Scilife is a global, remote-first team behind an eQMS software that enables life sciences companies to manage their quality processes digitally, stay compliant, and ensure continuous audit readiness.
We believe better technology leads to simpler, stronger quality management, and ultimately brings safe products to the market. At Scilife, your work helps improve how regulated companies operate every day.
About this role
Every new customer at Scilife is won through a conversation that builds trust. As an Account Executive, you’ll lead those conversations, from the first discovery call to the signed contract, and help quality leaders see how Scilife makes their work simpler.
We’re looking for an Account Executive to win new business across EMEA in pharma, biotech, medtech and related sectors. You’ll own the full sales cycle, using a consultative, value-based approach to help customers digitise and simplify their quality and compliance processes.
Your pipeline will come from two sources:
- BDR-sourced: qualified opportunities handed over by our BDR team
- Your own outbound: opportunities you create yourself through targeted prospecting
Winning new business is where you’ll make your biggest mark. You’ll guide complex deals with several stakeholders through to close, and you won’t wait for pipeline to arrive: you’ll go out and create it.
You’ll work closely with our BDR, Marketing, Demand Generation and Customer Success teams, with a clear path to progress your career here, including into Senior AE and leadership roles.
What you will do
- Own your number. Win new business across pharma, biotech, medtech and related sectors. You carry a quarterly new-business quota and manage and run every deal from first qualification to signed contract and handover. When you’re pacing behind, you don’t wait: you build more pipeline, rework the plan and push.
- Create your own pipeline. Build and own a named list of target accounts in your territory. Research each one and find the reason to talk now. Open the door with personalised outreach by email, phone, LinkedIn and events. You’ll source at least 15% of your own pipeline, and you won’t wait for leads to arrive.
- Reach the whole buying group. Map and engage every stakeholder in the deal, from Quality and Regulatory to IT, Procurement and the executive sponsor.
- Run strong discovery. Uncover each prospect’s compliance, operational and strategic challenges (GxP, ISO 13485, 21 CFR Part 11) and show how Scilife solves them.
- Lead demos and presentations. Run tailored demos, create bespoke business cases and presentations that show how Scilife is the right solution for each customer’s quality process.
- Write proposals and negotiate. Build clear proposals, negotiate commercial terms and close deals that set customers up for success.
- Own the full sales cycle. Manage every deal from first contact to signed contract, then hand over smoothly to Customer Success.
- Sell with structure. Use the Command of the Message framework for value selling and MEDDPICC for strong qualification and consistent deals.
- Forecast with confidence. Keep HubSpot accurate and up to date so everyone can trust your forecast. Meet or exceed your quarterly revenue and outbound pipeline targets.
- Plan your territory with your BDRs. Agree with your BDRs which accounts you focus on and how they approach the rest. Work with Marketing and Demand Generation to sharpen messaging, lift conversion and improve win rates. Share what you learn and adjust the plan together.
- Know the market. Stay on top of industry trends, competitors and regulatory changes, and use what you learn to sharpen how we position Scilife.
- Put AI to work. Use AI tools to speed up research, deal preparation and follow-up, while keeping quality high.

- You use MEDDPICC or a similar methodology to qualify deals and forecast accurately.
- You’re comfortable engaging both technical and executive audiences.

How we will get to know you
During the process, we’ll explore how you approach:
- Consultative selling and discovery
- Pipeline and deal strategy and management
- Forecasting and data-driven decisions
We’ll also talk about how you live our values:
- All hearts and ears: you listen closely to customers and build relationships on trust
- Healthy inside-out: you manage your pipeline and your time so you perform at a pace you can sustain
- Driven by evidence: you forecast from data, not gut feeling, and learn from every win and loss
- Outside of the box: you find creative ways to show value and move deals forward
