• You will be part of the North American Resin Modality team providing technical support, training, and troubleshooting for chromatography technologies used by Cytiva’s customers in the large‑scale purification of therapeutic biologics.
• You will also interact with and support sales, marketing, field service, Fast Trak training, Bioprocess R&D, and other parts of the organization to help position Cytiva chromatography technologies during pre‑ and post‑sales activities that translate technical applications consultation into defending and expanding market share.

• Demonstrated ability to contribute and communicate in a multi‑disciplinary team environment across geographies, departments, and disciplines.

• This is a customer‑facing role, and many customer interactions will not require travel. However, some travel to customer sites within North America may be required from time to time. Also, corporate internal meetings may require occasional international travel with the approval of the hiring manager.
• Travel to customer sites within reasonable driving distance from Cytiva’s Marlborough site and the use of rental cars for trips involving flights to other destinations will require a valid driver’s license with an acceptable driving record.
