About Boston Bioprocess

Boston Bioprocess is a fast-growing biotech startup developing modern software and AI solutions for bioprocess development and manufacturing on top of CDMO services. Our Manufacturing Execution System (MES) is purpose-built for bioprocess labs, pilot facilities, and CDMOs—enabling better execution, data integrity, and operational efficiency. We operate with a flat structure, fast pace, and a strong culture of ownership, transparency, and zero politics.

About the role

  • We are seeking a Software Sales Associate with a bioprocessing background to support the commercialization of our MES platform. This role is ideal for someone who understands how bioprocess labs and manufacturing operations actually function and can translate real-world workflows into compelling, practical use cases for CDMO clients.

What you'll do

  • Engage with prospective CDMO clients to understand bioprocess workflows, operational challenges, and data management needs
  • Communicate MES value through use-case-driven discussions (batch execution, tech transfer, scale-up, traceability, compliance readiness)
  • Support sales calls, on-site or virtual demos, and technical discussions with clients
  • Work closely with internal bioprocess, product, and data teams to align customer needs with product capabilities
  • Qualify leads and support early-stage pipeline development
  • Capture customer feedback and translate insights into product and roadmap inputs
  • Develop familiarity with client lab and plant environments to tailor messaging and solutions

Qualifications

  • BS or MS in Bioprocess Engineering, Biotechnology, Chemical Engineering, Bioengineering, or a related field
  • Hands-on familiarity with bioprocess lab and/or plant operations
  • Strong understanding of bioprocess workflows and execution challenges
  • Excellent communication skills with the ability to explain technical concepts clearly
  • Work onsite in Champaign, IL
  • Comfortable working in a startup environment with evolving priorities

What we offer

  • Hourly salary of approx. $24/hour with path to conversion to full-time employee with benefits
