Role Description
We are seeking an aggressive, results-driven Senior Alliance Sales Executive to own a hybrid business development role that combines net-new logo hunting with dedicated Salesforce co-selling across large Pharmaceutical, Biotechnology, and Life Sciences organizations.
-
This is first and foremost a hunter role.
-
You will carry a quota, build your own pipeline, run outbound prospecting campaigns, and close new enterprise clients for Slipstream's Business and Technology Consulting Solutions and Managed Services (MSP).
-
You are expected to independently identify, pursue, and win accounts that have never done business with Slipstream.
-
Build and nurture relationships with Salesforce Account Executives who cover Health & Life Sciences (HLS).
-
Position yourself as their go-to partner and generate co-sell pipeline through the Salesforce ecosystem.
-
You will be supported by dedicated presales leadership for solution positioning, proposal development, and deal strategy.
-
Your primary outputs are qualified meetings with prospective clients and expanding Slipstream's coverage and mindshare with the Salesforce HLS AE community.
What You'll Do
-
Hunt New Logos: Own a defined target account list of large Pharma, Biotech, and Life Sciences organizations; run outbound prospecting, build pipeline independently, and close net-new enterprise clients for Slipstream.
-
Salesforce Alliance & Co-Sell: Build, maintain, and deepen relationships with Salesforce Account Executives across Health & Life Sciences; become a trusted partner they actively bring into deals and leverage these relationships to create additional pipeline.
-
Meeting Generation: Secure qualified meetings with prospective clients - CIOs, Commercial IT, Commercial Marketing, Data & Analytics leaders, and Operations executives - through your own outbound effort and through the Salesforce AE relationship channel.
-
Complex Sales Execution: Lead multi-threaded, multi-stakeholder sales cycles for Managed Consulting Services and technology solutions, with presales support provided throughout the engagement.
-
Account Expansion: Position recurring-revenue Managed Consulting Services engagements with clear ROI and strategic value within newly acquired accounts.
-
Pipeline Discipline: Maintain rigorous pipeline management, forecasting, and CRM hygiene; own your numbers with full accountability.
-
Ecosystem Development: Expand Slipstream's footprint within the broader Salesforce partner ecosystem and identify additional channel partnership opportunities.
Qualifications
-
7+ years of enterprise sales experience with a proven track record of hunting and closing new business.
-
Demonstrated history of building pipeline from scratch - you do not wait for leads, you create them.
-
Proven success selling Business and Technology Consulting Managed Services (MSP) and/or enterprise IT solutions into large organizations.
-
Direct experience selling into Biotechnology, Pharmaceutical, or broader Life Sciences organizations.
-
Comfort engaging and building relationships with partner sales teams and navigating co-sell motions.

-
Experience navigating complex buying committees and long sales cycles.
-
Demonstrated quota attainment in excess of $5M annually.

Nice to Have

Experience co-selling with or selling through the Salesforce ecosystem (AE relationships, joint account planning, Salesforce partner programs).
-
Background selling for or alongside HLS-focused SaaS companies such as Veeva, IQVIA, MedInfo Solutions, or similar platforms.
