We are partnering with a growing healthcare startup that is looking for a Director of Sales to help expand its footprint across health systems and provider organizations.
This is a highly entrepreneurial, field-based business development role for someone who thrives on building relationships, opening doors, and navigating complex healthcare organizations.
While this position carries a Director title, it is a hands-on individual contributor role with no direct reports . The ideal candidate is a self-starter who can independently own a territory, engage senior clinical and business leaders, and develop strategic partnerships that drive meaningful growth.
Unlike traditional SaaS sales, this role focuses on selling healthcare services and establishing long-term professional services partnerships with health systems.
Key Responsibilities
Territory Ownership & Business Development
- Own and develop an assigned territory, identifying and engaging target health systems, healthcare organizations, and provider groups.
- Build relationships with senior healthcare decision-makers, including Chief Medical Officers (CMOs), Heads of Primary Care, clinical executives, and operational leadership.
- Drive new business through warm introductions, targeted outreach campaigns, industry networking, and in-person meetings.
- Leverage internal lead generation resources and market intelligence to identify high-value prospects and secure executive-level meetings.
- Independently manage territory strategy, outreach activities, stakeholder engagement, and pipeline development.
- Travel regularly to meet healthcare executives, develop relationships, and advance partnership opportunities.
Strategic Partnerships & Consultative Selling
- Lead conversations with senior clinical and business stakeholders, demonstrating a strong understanding of healthcare delivery, operational challenges, and financial priorities.
- Communicate effectively with physician executives and clinical leaders, including individuals with medical training and extensive healthcare experience.
- Position clinical service offerings as solutions to health systems' operational and patient care needs.
- Develop professional services partnerships rather than traditional software subscription agreements.
- Navigate complex healthcare buying processes involving multiple stakeholders, including clinical, operational, and financial decision-makers.
- Work with internal leadership to structure commercially viable agreements that support sustainable partnerships.
Pipeline Development & Execution
- Generate consistent engagement with new health systems per month.
- Build and maintain a qualified pipeline of strategic healthcare partnership opportunities.
- Track outreach, meetings, stakeholder engagement, and partnership progression.
- Collaborate with internal teams on lead generation, account research, campaign execution, and commercial strategy.
- Operate with significant autonomy while maintaining clear communication and accountability with leadership.
What We're Looking For
- Proven experience in healthcare business development, strategic partnerships, enterprise sales, or healthcare services sales.
- Experience selling into health systems, hospitals, provider organizations, or large healthcare networks.
- Established ability to engage senior clinical and business decision-makers, particularly CMOs, physician leaders, and healthcare executives.
- Experience selling complex services, outsourced clinical solutions, professional services, or technology-enabled healthcare services.
- Proven ability to independently build a territory, generate opportunities, and navigate lengthy, multi-stakeholder sales cycles.
- Comfortable balancing relationship development, in-person meetings, strategic prospecting, and pipeline management.
- Highly self-motivated, resourceful, and comfortable operating without extensive day-to-day oversight.
- Ability to thrive in an early-stage startup environment where processes are evolving and individuals are expected to take ownership.
Base salary range $150k - $200k + Double OTE + benefits
