There are aspects of sales management to this job, but that's for purposes of providing a great experience for potential customers and to stay well organized.
This position is responsible for product planning and development support. Throughout interactions with potential customers, the Product Specialist will learn a whole lot about what different research institutions and companies are doing, what works and what doesn't surrounding laboratory safety and regulatory compliance. The responsibility is to work with the product planning and development teams to take this knowledge and continually enhance the system to make sure it stays the best.
The role is multi-faceted, and requires a mixture of problem solving, good communication, presentation, and time management skills. Anyone who applies for this position should have the ability to work well in a tight knit team and have a firm grasp on software approaches to problem solving.
