About Waters

Waters sells what analytical labs run on: liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry systems, columns and other chemistry consumables, the Empower chromatography data system and lab management software, light scattering, and the thermal analysis, rheology and microcalorimetry instruments of its materials science division (formerly TA Instruments), to pharma and biopharma companies, CROs and CDMOs, chemical and materials makers, food and environmental testers, clinical labs, universities and government. Field sales is split by what is sold and to whom: system account managers own a territory or market for LC and MS systems, software and service, chemistry account managers and key account teams sell consumables (in China to CROs, CDMOs and testing labs, with channel partners covering parts of a province), bio account managers carry large-molecule customers across the whole portfolio, clinical account managers sell into diagnostic labs, and materials science reps demo thermal analysis instruments to R&D and QC labs. Behind them stand the technical sellers: sales applications chemists who run demos and sample analysis before and after the sale, informatics business development specialists who carry a regional quota for Empower and lab software as it moves to subscription, sales and market development specialists in China who co-visit customers and run seminars, and a Shanghai inside sales team that quotes, writes tenders and works smaller pharma accounts by phone and online. Regional channel managers run the distributors that sell the VICAM and ERA lines of its applied markets business, and business development managers open new ground such as GLP-1 drug analysis and LC-MS and flow cytometry bioanalysis for discovery labs and CROs.

SalesJobs.Now is free for job seekers. Some links here pay us: a job ad network pays for a click on one of its sponsored jobs, a recruiting firm pays a referral fee when someone who came from here is hired, and a career tool pays a commission when you buy it. That costs you nothing and never lowers what you are paid. Roles whose links pay us can be placed higher in a list. "Featured roles" are openings an employer picked during a free trial with us; no employer can pay for that spot.

Stated per posting

From our research: stated by the company, checked 30 Oct 2026

Read from its postings on 30 Oct 2026: Pay is rarely stated on these international postings. A Milan channel manager posting fills the portal's minimum and maximum fields with a euro range; a Swedish clinical account manager posting describes a quarterly incentive paid on reaching the territory sales target set in the annual operating plan, and a Shanghai materials science sales engineer posting promises commission without a rate. The rest, from Canada and Mexico to India, China, Japan and Korea, give no base, variable or OTE. Ask for the base to variable split, how often the incentive pays and on what (system orders, consumables revenue, service contracts, software subscriptions), whether it accelerates above plan, and for channel and distributor-led seats whether partner revenue counts toward your number.
