Scientific Account Manager

Nano Imaging Services (NIS) has been a pioneering CRO in cryo-electron microscopy since 2007, building a client-focused organization with a reputation for expertise, reliability, and collaboration. As the leading provider of cryo-EM services for drug discovery and development, NIS offers a one-stop-shop for customers seeking structure-based drug discovery and protein production services — from target protein production to high‑resolution structure determination.

NIS is the largest and most comprehensive provider of TEM and cryo‑EM services to the industrial life science market.

We are seeking a scientifically trained professional excited to transition from the bench into a client-facing commercial role. As a Scientific Account Manager, you will work at the intersection of structural biology and business — helping pharma and biotech partners advance protein structure determination using our Single Particle Analysis cryo-EM and protein production services.

This role is ideal for a recent PhD graduate or postdoctoral researcher who enjoys explaining complex science, collaborating across teams, and thinking strategically about how research translates into therapeutic impact.

You will serve as the primary liaison between clients and our internal scientific teams — managing accounts, translating client requirements into actionable plans, creating project proposals, and identifying opportunities to optimize workflows and client satisfaction.

You will receive hands‑on mentorship and training in business development, account management, and commercial strategy — while leveraging the scientific expertise you've already built.

This is a 6‑month contract position based in Woburn, MA, with strong potential to transition to a permanent role based on performance and business needs.

• Advanced degree (M.S. or Ph.D.) in structural biology, biochemistry, or a related field preferred
• Strong understanding of cryo-EM, structural biology, or protein production processes
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills; ability to explain complex science to diverse audiences
• Experience or strong interest in project management, client relationships, or account management
• Self-motivated, detail-oriented, and able to manage multiple priorities
