Avance Biosciences is growing, and we’re looking for a Scientific Account Manager to join our commercial team in Houston, TX. This is a great opportunity for a PhD-level scientist who’s ready to move from the bench into a client-facing role, using deep technical expertise to help biotech and pharmaceutical partners find the right analytical and bioanalytical solutions for their programs.

As a Scientific Account Manager, you’ll serve as the primary point of contact for a portfolio of accounts, building relationships with scientists, project managers, and R&D leaders across the industry. You’ll engage customers through calls, meetings, site visits, and conferences, help shape proposals for complex technical projects, and represent Avance Biosciences’ capabilities at industry events. It’s a role built for someone who’s naturally curious, comfortable connecting with people, and motivated by turning strong science into strong partnerships.

What you’ll do

  • Serve as the go-to contact for assigned accounts and prospective customers
  • Develop and grow relationships with scientists and decision-makers at biotech and pharma organizations
  • Collaborate with our technical teams on proposals and quotations
  • Present Avance Biosciences’ capabilities and value to current and prospective clients
  • Track opportunities and pipeline activity in our CRM
  • Represent the company at conferences and industry events
  • Monitor industry trends and the competitive landscape

What we’re looking for

  • PhD in Life Sciences (Biology, Biochemistry, Pharmacology, or a related field)
  • Hands on experience in a molecular biology and/or cell biology laboratory
  • A naturally outgoing, socially confident communicator
  • Self-driven, organized, and comfortable managing a variety of accounts
  • Willingness to travel regularly (up to 25%)

Hands-on experience with qPCR, ddPCR, NGS, ELISA, flow cytometry, or LC/MS is a strong plus, as is prior sales experience — though we’re just as interested in scientists who bring deep technical credibility and are eager to learn the commercial side.

Why Avance Biosciences

We offer a structured training program and mentorship from both our commercial and scientific leaders, so you’re set up to succeed as you transition into this role. Our team also enjoys a full benefits package, including 401(k) with company match, health, dental, and vision insurance, life insurance, and paid time off.
