Break into and close the largest healthcare logos in the US — landing flagship, multi-year, 7-figure-plus deals that anchor the vertical.
Build deep, trusted relationships with C-suite stakeholders across the healthcare buying committee — CIO, CXO, CMO, COO, Chief AI Officer, Chief Digital Officer, and line-of-business owners.

Requirements

8+ years of enterprise SaaS sales, with at least 4 years selling into healthcare.
A demonstrated track record of building business inside named Payer, Provider, and/or Life Sciences accounts — the largest US health plans, integrated delivery networks, academic medical centers, or top 20 pharma.
Proven wins in complex, multi-stakeholder, security- and compliance-gated procurement environments, including 7-figure, multi-year deals.
Comfort owning C-suite relationships across long cycles
A playbook builder: you have authored the account plans, qualification frameworks, and deal-shape templates that your prior teams inherited and ran.
Comfortable in an early-stage environment where the playbook isn't written, the pricing isn't fixed, and the product is still being shaped by the deals you close. You operate well with ambiguity and whitespace.
