About the Role

At Scientific Safety Alliance (SSA), we sell services that companies need to operate. We support pharmaceutical manufacturing, healthcare, biotech, medical device, aerospace, semiconductor, research, and advanced manufacturing environments where compliance is mandatory. This is a true hunter role focused on driving new revenue across the Puerto Rico market. You will be responsible for building pipeline, winning new customers, and creating expansion opportunities across existing SSA relationships in the region. SSA already has a strong presence in Puerto Rico, including access to a small group of major customer relationships generating more than $8 million in annual revenue. Your job is not to manage that book passively. Your job is to use that regional credibility to find new opportunities, expand into additional service lines, and build a larger Puerto Rico sales engine. Many customers know SSA for one specific service, but may not realize we can support other required compliance needs such as cleanroom certification, biological safety cabinet certification, fume hood testing, viable sampling, compressed air testing, laboratory equipment calibration, and TAB-related services. You’ll grow the territory through: New business development across pharmaceutical, biotech, medical device, healthcare, and advanced manufacturing accounts Cross-sell and upsell opportunities through existing SSA customer relationships in Puerto Rico Targeted outreach to high-value facilities with cleanrooms, controlled environments, laboratories, or regulated manufacturing needs Consistent prospecting, follow-up, account mapping, and deal execution Close coordination with operations, technicians, scheduling, and leadership to qualify and close opportunities We operate in a fragmented market with limited scaled competition and inconsistent service quality from incumbents. Customers value responsiveness, documentation, scheduling reliability, and trusted compliance support. There is real opportunity for a strong hunter to win new business and expand SSA’s presence across Puerto Rico. You do not need industry experience to succeed here. We will teach you the services and the market. What matters is that you can create pipeline, run a disciplined sales process, build trust quickly, and close business in a technical, compliance-driven environment.
