Head of Sales

Own the Playbook. Win the Logos. Build the GTM.

Helical is building the AI-native lab for biology; replacing slow, costly wet lab experimentation with scalable, virtual discovery. Our platform is already deployed with leading global pharma, enabling teams to run millions of experiments in days, not years.

We have product-market traction. Now we’re scaling and looking for someone to build and lead that journey.

We’re hiring a Head of Sales to own new business and build Helical’s commercial function from the ground up.

This is a player-coach role. You’ll be responsible for closing high-value deals yourself, while also shaping how we go to market; defining the playbook, building pipeline, and laying the foundations for a high-performing commercial team.

This is not a “manage and inherit” role. This is build, sell, and scale.
