Remote
Full Time
Tennant Solutions
Experienced
Job Title: Business Development Manager — Diagnostics Kitting 
Reports To: Director, Global Commerce
Direct Reports: No
Location: Remote, (Hybrid if local to Cincinnati, OH area)

Job Summary: Tennant Solutions is expanding beyond its core clinical efficacy kitting business into the broader diagnostics market — at-home test manufacturers, reference labs, and clinical trial sponsors. This is a new hunter role: the first sales hire dedicated to this expansion, with a mandate to build pipeline and close new logos business from a standing start. 

There is no existing book of business in this vertical. Success depends on prospecting, relationship-building, and consultative selling into diagnostics companies with no prior awareness of Tennant Solutions' kitting capabilities. 

Key Responsibilities:
  • Prospect and open new accounts across diagnostics manufacturers, reference labs, and clinical trial sponsors with no existing relationship with Tennant Solutions. 
  • Build and manage a full-cycle sales pipeline — cold outreach and discovery through proposal, negotiation, and close. 
  • Translate technical kitting capabilities (component sourcing, cleanroom assembly, sterile packaging, lot traceability) into a value proposition specific to diagnostics buyers: regulatory pressure, IVDR/FDA compliance, supply chain reliability, and scale-up speed. 
  • Partner with operations and quality teams to scope custom kitting proposals, validate feasibility, and price new business. 
  • Represent Tennant Solutions at industry conferences, trade shows, and diagnostics-sector events to build visibility in a market where the company has no existing brand presence. 
  • Report pipeline, forecast, and win/loss data to leadership on a [weekly/monthly] cadence to inform go-to-market strategy for the vertical. 
  • Feed market intelligence back to leadership on diagnostics-sector needs, competitive positioning, and pricing to shape the long-term strategy for this expansion. 


Qualifications: 
Required:
  • 3+ years of medical device industry sales experience, with demonstrated success in a hunter or new-business-development capacity — not primarily account management. 
  • Proven ability to prospect and close new logos businesses without inherited pipeline or existing relationships. 
  • Comfort selling technical, custom-engineered solutions rather than off-the-shelf products. 
  • Ability to travel up to 50% for client visits, trade shows, and conferences. 
Preferred:
  • Direct experience selling kitting, contract manufacturing, or contract packaging services into medical device or diagnostics OEMs. 
  • Existing relationships or familiarity with diagnostics-sector buyers: at-home test manufacturers, reference labs, or clinical trial sponsors/CROs. 
  • Working knowledge of IVD regulatory context (FDA, IVDR) sufficient to speak credibly with technical and quality stakeholders. 
  • Experience selling into procurement and quality/regulatory stakeholders simultaneously — multi-threaded, longer-cycle B2B sales. 
 Job Setting / Environment:
  • Location: Remote or Hybrid
  • Location: On-site/ Remote/ Hybrid
  • Travel Required: up to 50%
  • Preference for candidates who reside in the Eastern, Central and Mountain time zones.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
