Infleqtion is a global quantum technology company commercializing quantum science into practical, deployable solutions for researchers, engineers, government laboratories, and industry customers in atomic, molecular, optical physics, quantum sensing, precision timing, and neutral atom quantum computing.
You will lead sales expansion for Infleqtion's commercial quantum product portfolio, including Quantum Cores and enabling technologies. This role combines technical depth with business development, sales execution, customer engagement, and operational ownership. You will work cross-functionally with Business Development, Product, Engineering, Production, Contracts, and Finance teams to support the full customer journey from early technical discussions through quoting, supplier registration, order execution, and delivery.
Key responsibilities include:
**Sales & Customer Engagement:** Identify and qualify prospective customers across academic, government, national laboratory, and commercial markets. Engage with researchers, technical buyers, program managers, procurement teams, and business stakeholders. Communicate complex physics and product concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences. Prepare and deliver product presentations, technical overviews, quotations, and proposals. Track opportunities and pipeline status in CRM systems. Support negotiations and purchase order review.
**Technical & Product Expertise:** Develop working understanding of Infleqtion's commercial product portfolio and how Quantum Cores enable AMO physics, cold atom experimentation, quantum sensing, timing, and computing applications. Translate customer technical requirements into clear inputs for internal teams. Serve as technically credible interface between customers and subject matter experts. Identify product-market fit and opportunities for product improvement.
**Business Operations & Process Development:** Lead or support customer supplier registration, portal setup, documentation, and vendor qualification. Define, document, and improve business processes for quoting, order intake, customer communication, production handoff, and delivery tracking. Coordinate with Contracts, Finance, Export Control, Quality, and Operations teams. Develop reusable templates, checklists, and workflows.
**Project Management & Order Execution:** Project manage custom commercial orders from purchase order acceptance through production, delivery, and closeout. Coordinate with Production, Engineering, Supply Chain, Quality, and Customer Success teams. Provide status updates to internal stakeholders and customers. Resolve issues related to scope, schedule, documentation, and delivery requirements.
