Requirements
- Bachelor's degree required, preferably in the sciences. • 5+ years of sales experience, preferably in laboratory, scientific or healthcare industries, OR relevant laboratory experience. • Technical knowledge and ability to understand customer applications and workflows • Excellent communication, presentation and negotiation skills • Demonstrated ability to build and maintain customer relationships at all levels • Proficiency with CRM systems (preferably Salesforce) and MS Office suite • Analytical and strategic planning capabilities • Results-oriented with demonstrated success in achieving sales targets • Ability to work both independently and collaboratively in a matrix environment • Valid driver's license and ability to travel within assigned territory • Fluency in English required; additional languages beneficial • Commitment to Thermo Fisher's core values of Integrity, Intensity, Innovation and Involvement
How to Stand Out
- Highlight your Salesforce expertise with a one‑page “CRM impact sheet”: list the exact objects, workflows, and dashboards you built or optimized, quantifying results (e.g., “automated lead‑to‑opportunity conversion reduced cycle time by 22%”) and attach a screenshot of a custom report you’re proud of.
- Build a remote‑ready sales analytics portfolio in Excel: create a sample “Revenue Forecast vs. Actual” workbook that uses pivot tables, Power Query, and dynamic charts to show pipeline health; embed brief commentary on insights you’d deliver to senior leadership at Thermo Fisher.
- Tailor your cover letter to Thermo Fisher’s mission: reference a specific product line (e.g., life‑science reagents) and explain how you’d help customers achieve “healthier, cleaner, safer” outcomes, linking past account wins to similar industry challenges.
- Prepare for scenario‑based interview questions by rehearsing a STAR story that demonstrates cross‑functional collaboration with R&D, procurement, and field sales to close a multi‑million‑dollar deal—focus on how you leveraged Salesforce data to identify upsell opportunities and tracked progress in real time.
- Research Thermo Fisher’s compensation bands for remote Canada roles (Glassdoor, Levels.fyi) and come to the salary discussion with a data‑backed range (e.g., $95‑$115 k base + target bonus). Emphasize your proven revenue growth and remote‑work productivity metrics to justify the top end of the range.
