The Senior Director, North America Commercial Leader for the Reagent Solutions Division (RSD) is accountable for leading Bio-Techne’s RUO reagent commercial strategy and execution across North America. This role owns a complex, multi-motion commercial organization spanning field and inside sales, Cell Therapy Business Development, Customer Alliance Management, Custom Services PMO, Stem Cell & Organoid Business Development, and LATAM distribution management.

This leader will play a central role in translating RSD’s strategy from a product-led organization to an application-led commercial model, enabling Bio-Techne to win in priority growth areas including cell therapy (ICT and regenerative medicine), stem cells and organoids, immunology, spatial biology, immunoassays, and drug target biology (proteins).

The role requires a builder’s mindset—designing and scaling a modern commercial architecture that integrates account management, technical specialists, and digital-first engagement, while meeting customers where and how they want to buy.
