Why a CV for this job?
- They see what they asked for, first. Your experience that matches the ad leads, in the ad's own words, so someone skimming finds it in seconds.
- It gets past the software. Many larger employers use software that ranks CVs by how closely they match the ad, often before anyone reads them.
- In the language of the ad. An ad written in Spanish gets a CV in Spanish, even when yours is in Portuguese.
- Your facts, nothing invented. Your own experience, reordered and reworded. What the ad wants and your CV does not show is listed for you to add, only if it is true. You check it before you send it.
SpaceX was founded under the belief that a future where humanity is out exploring the stars is fundamentally more exciting than one where we are not. Today, SpaceX is actively developing the technologies to make this possible, with the ultimate goal of making life multiplanetary and expanding consciousness to the stars.
SpaceXSI is building Super Intelligence to help humanity understand the universe. Our teams are building the full Super Intelligence stack: from our Colossus supercomputers, to Grok models, to our suite of applications, including Grok Bot, Grok Build, Grok Imagine, Grok Voice, and X. We're creating a powerful flywheel where more compute trains better models, better models power more useful products, and what we learn from people using those products shapes what we build next.
About the role
You’ll be a Strategic AE owning a focused set of Life Sciences accounts. You’ll run end-to-end deals from first technical champion through security, vendor risk, procurement, and rollout, partnering closely with Solutions Engineering and Product to prove value in real workflows.
What you’ll do
- Own a small portfolio of strategic LS accounts and a net-new target list
- Build multi-threaded relationships across Eng/Platform, Security, Risk, and Procurement
- Run consultative discovery and build ROI cases tied to developer productivity + risk reduction
- Drive evaluations/POVs (SSO/SCIM, auditability, data handling, policy controls)
- Navigate vendor risk, legal, and enterprise procurement to close and deploy
- Land and expand: initial team → org standardization → multi-business-unit rollout
- Feed customer signal back to Product/GTM and help refine repeatable playbooks
You may be a fit if
- You have 10+ years closing enterprise software deals with consistent quota attainment
- You have experience selling into Life Sciences (or deeply regulated enterprise environments)
- You are comfortable with technical buyers and security stakeholders; you can earn engineering trust
- You're a true hunter - you proactively build pipeline from scratch through outbound prospecting, creative sourcing, and relentless follow-up, rather than relying on inbound demand
- You have strong outbound + pipeline discipline; accurate forecasting and crisp written communication
- You thrive as an IC in a flat org: high ownership, low ego, fast learning loop
