About the Role

We're looking for an experienced Senior Associate Account Executive to own retention and expansion for a portfolio of Life Sciences accounts. You'll manage the full client relationship, drive renewals, and identify upsell and cross-sell opportunities, supported by Solutions Consultants and Customer Success.

What You'll Do

You'll own the full lifecycle of a named portfolio of existing Life Sciences accounts spanning strategic organizations acting as a trusted advisor long after the initial sale. Your day-to-day will be supported by Solutions Consultants, and Customer Success Managers as you build account plans, track relationship health, uncover expansion opportunities across new teams and use cases, lead renewal negotiations, and grow your book of business year over year. This is an excellent opportunity for a motivated and driven sales professional looking to take their account management career to the next level within a high-growth healthcare commercial intelligence company!

Meet and exceed retention and expansion revenue targets within your assigned account portfolio.
Own renewal conversations and close on-time, on-value renewals
Build and nurture relationships across your existing accounts going deeper within the teams you already serve, wider into new departments and functions (Sales, Marketing, Commercial Operations), and up to senior and C-suite stakeholders to uncover expansion opportunities and grow your book of business.
Identify up-sell and cross-sell opportunities within existing accounts, in partnership with Customer Success
Build and maintain account plans tied to client objectives and measurable outcomes

Manage all facets of complex sales cycles, often involving multiple stakeholders including Sales Ops, Marketing, Legal, Finance, and IT and data-driven buying decisions
Lead value engineering and ROI conversations tailored to each account’s business case

5+ years of experience in Growth sales, with experience in data or consultative selling; healthcare data experience a plus
Documented history of meeting or exceeding a competitive sales quota and account targets, with strong negotiation and closing skills
