Senior Account Executive, Medical Device Manufacturing
WFA Digital Insight
Tulip’s Senior Account Executive for medical device manufacturing sits at the intersection of regulated industry expertise and cutting‑edge AI‑driven workflow software. The role is unique because it demands fluency in both MES architecture and 21 CFR Part 11 compliance while also selling to C‑suite stakeholders who care about traceability and operational efficiency. Candidates will spend their days shaping multi‑stakeholder pipelines, partnering with sales engineers, and translating technical benefits into boardroom business cases. Tulip’s remote‑first culture, equity participation, and emphasis on product‑market feedback give salespeople a direct line to shaping the platform they sell. Expect a long sales cycle, but also the chance to own the entire process from first contact to expansion.
Job Description
Tulip brings modern technology and AI into manufacturing. Manufacturing accounts for almost 20% of the global economy and one in every seven workers on Earth, yet remains among the least digitized. More than a decade ago, we created the category to close that gap: AI-native software that puts cutting-edge tools directly in the hands of the people on the manufacturing front lines. Because we are human-centered and tech-obsessed, we are building a future of work where human ingenuity is amplified with the latest technology.
In January 2026 we became one of Boston's few new AI unicorns, reaching a $1.3B valuation. We're growing double digits in revenue year over year. The world's best manufacturers run on Tulip - turning inventory 10x faster, releasing gene therapies in hours instead of weeks, and training master craftspeople to forge engagement rings 5x more rapidly. Headquartered in Somerville, MA with offices in Germany, Hungary, Singapore, Japan, and Israel, we've been consistently named a World Economic Forum Global Innovator, a Gartner leader, and one of Built In Boston's "Best Places to Work."
We run the way we build: AI-forward, humanistic, and high ownership. We're looking for builders who are energized by complex problems, rapid cycles, and the unique opportunity to see their impact on a global scale.

How to Stand Out

- Prepare a concise case study showing how you translated MES technical details into executive‑level ROI.
- Brush up on 21 CFR Part 11 requirements; interviewers will probe your compliance knowledge.
- Demonstrate remote‑work discipline by sharing your typical workflow tools and communication cadence.
- Ask thoughtful questions about Tulip’s go‑to‑market strategy and how sales collaborates with product teams.
- When negotiating, factor in equity and the unlimited PTO policy as part of total compensation.
- Beware of vague compensation language; request clarity on commission structure early in the process.
