  • Lead, mentor and scale the sales team (Account Executives, SDRs, Pre-Sales)
  • Develop territory plans and strategic account targeting
  • Run senior-level commercial and solution-led conversations with enterprise buyers
  • Collaborate with marketing on GTM campaigns and pipeline generation
  • Track, forecast and report revenue and KPIs to leadership
  • Represent the business at industry events and conferences

 

Essential Skills & Experience

  • Proven success in enterprise B2B SaaS sales with a strong, metrics-backed track record
  • Experience selling complex software solutions into mid-market / enterprise customers
  • Hands-on experience in a scale-up or high-growth environment
  • Demonstrated ability to build, lead or mentor sales teams
  • Confident running discovery, demos and commercial negotiations
  • Comfortable working cross-functionally with technical and product teams

 

Why Apply?

  • Senior, high-impact role with real influence on growth strategy
  • Strong base salary + uncapped commission
  • Work on meaningful technology improving clinical trial delivery
  • Backed by experienced investors and leadership
  • Clear progression as the company scales
