Now, as we accelerate our growth in NGS library preparation and expand our footprint into High-Plex Sequencing, we are looking for a key player to help shape the future of this business with us.

8 plus years of technical sales experience in life sciences is strongly preferred
How You Will Make an Impact:
- Shape the Strategy & Market Growth: Partner directly with research and clinical customers to expand our High-Plex Sequencing footprint. You will help drive market adoption of our NGS library prep solutions, identifying emerging trends, customer needs, and workflow gaps to influence our commercial approach.
- Serve as the High-Plex Expert: Translate complex chemistry, assays, and sequencing workflows into consultative solutions. Whether guiding a lab through library preparation optimization or presenting at industry conferences, you will be the trusted technical authority for our scientific community and internal partners.
- Drive Strategic Customer Success: Build deep, lasting relationships with key opinion leaders, sequencing core facilities, and commercial accounts. You will manage complex, consultative sales cycles from initial engagement through technical demonstration and final implementation.
- Collaborate Across the Business: Work in close partnership with field application scientists, product management, and regional sales teams in a matrixed environment to ensure seamless customer onboarding, robust pipeline execution, and sustained revenue growth.
What You Bring to the Team:
- Deep NGS Expertise: You have a thorough, hands-on understanding of next-generation sequencing chemistry, high-plex target enrichment, sample prep, and end-to-end library preparation workflows. You know the players, the platforms, and the commercial landscape.
- Proven Commercial Success: You hold a Bachelor’s degree in Life Sciences, Chemistry, Genetics, or a related field, combined with at least 5 years of successful technical sales or field application experience in life science research instruments and reagents.
- Consultative Problem Solver: You excel at navigating complex sales cycles, leading technical discussions with principal investigators and lab directors, and tailoring solutions to specific market segments.
- Strategic Vision & Execution: You have a track record of territory planning, market analysis, and cross-functional leadership, with the organizational skill to manage high-touch customer relationships alongside internal strategic initiatives.
- Mobility & Engagement: You are comfortable traveling up to 50 to 75 percent within the assigned territory to meet customers in their labs, present at conferences, and host targeted workflow sessions. Bilingual communication skills are a welcome advantage.

Sales Specialist Jobs in Washington: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a sales specialist in Washington?
Most sales specialist roles in Washington require a bachelor's degree in business, marketing, or a related field along with relevant industry experience, but no state-issued license is required for general sales work. Candidates targeting medical device or pharmaceutical sales benefit from life sciences coursework or clinical exposure. Building a record of quota attainment in an inside sales or account coordinator role at one of Washington's many technology or healthcare companies is the most reliable path to a specialist-level position.
Which companies hire sales specialists in Washington?
Companies currently hiring sales specialists in Washington include Best Buy, Spectrum, and OneMain Financial, per current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Washington's concentration of technology headquarters and major healthcare systems means demand is especially strong for specialists who can sell software, cloud services, or medical products to enterprise and clinical buyers.
Which Washington cities have the most sales specialist jobs?
Seattle, Kennewick, and Everett have the most sales specialist openings in Washington. Seattle and Bellevue lead because of the dense cluster of technology companies and corporate headquarters in the Puget Sound corridor, while Spokane draws demand from regional healthcare systems, manufacturing distributors, and the agricultural supply sector serving eastern Washington.
Are there remote sales specialist jobs in Washington?
Yes, and more than most fields. About 47% of sales specialist openings tied to Washington are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting how much of the role involves phone, video, and email rather than in-person visits. Inside sales, SaaS account management, and territory roles covering rural eastern Washington are the positions most likely to be fully remote.
How can I get hired as a sales specialist in Washington with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry point is an inside sales representative or sales development representative role, which Washington technology companies hire for in volume and use as a formal pipeline into specialist positions. Amazon, Microsoft, and regional healthcare distributors all run structured onboarding programs for early-career sales hires. A Salesforce administrator certificate or a completed sales fundamentals course gives candidates a concrete credential that stands out against other applicants without prior quotas.
Where can I find and apply to sales specialist jobs in Washington?
You can find and apply to sales specialist jobs in Washington on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings across Seattle, Bellevue, Spokane, and the rest of the state. Search the listings, find the roles that match your experience and target industry, and apply directly through each posting.
