Why This Job is Featured on The SaaS Jobs
This Engagement Director role sits at the intersection of enterprise SaaS delivery and account growth, in a company operating in a category-creation phase for scientific data and AI. In SaaS terms, it is a forward-deployed leadership position where implementation outcomes, renewals, and expansion are tightly linked, reflecting how platform vendors win in complex, regulated verticals rather than through self-serve adoption.
For a SaaS career, the role offers durable exposure to the full post-sale lifecycle at high account stakes: orchestrating multi-disciplinary delivery teams, aligning with sales on in-account opportunities, and translating product evolution into measurable customer value. That combination builds fluency in the operating system of enterprise SaaS, where retention economics, time-to-value, and roadmap feedback loops shape strategy as much as new-logo acquisition.
The listing signals a strong fit for professionals who prefer ownership-heavy roles with ambiguous playbooks and who are comfortable leading through customer hierarchy and delivery friction. It will suit someone who enjoys being accountable for outcomes across teams, can communicate clearly in difficult moments, and wants to stay close to both the product surface area and commercial realities of long-term accounts.

Who You Are
TetraScience is hiring an elite engagement leader for key accounts in North America. The Engagement Director role concurrently drives activities for renewal numbers and drives overall success of implementation delivery and value realization. There is also a parallel effort to closely collaborate with Account Executives and Pre-sales TAMs to identify and land expansion opportunities.
As we rapidly evolve our platform and open up new value creation paths with new SKUs and new personas, we require an uncompromising and results-driven engagement leader to help us deliver scientific and operational value as well as expand within our customer base.
