$80-$85k plus OTE
 
What does the commission and OTE structure look like? Sales commissions are based on the assigned territory and sales performance. Annual sales targets are typically $2 million and more, with commission rates ranging from 1.5% to 7% based on the percentage of target achieved. As a result, overall OTE varies depending on territory size and sales results.
if you were to do 2M and gets 3.5% of 7% and that is using the average, then, it means 70k in bonus but a realistic $$ will be over 100k in bonus per year. The line of business is what you love - Life Sciences so it could be a good blend if you enjoy the work.
 
What’s in it for you!
  • Rapid career growth in a global R&D hub!
  • People-first culture with mentorship built in!
  • Innovative work in drug discovery and delivery!
  • Strong ESG values: remote work, childcare, DEI!
  • Clubs, events, and travel to build real connection!
  • Annual bonuses, paid holidays, and full benefits!
  • Global stability with high client demand and scale!
