Area Sales Director

Echo IQ is a cardiology-focused artificial intelligence company redefining how echocardiography data is used at the point of care. Our real-time, measurement-based AI delivers diagnostic insights within seconds directly into the clinical workflow, enabling cardiologists to identify and manage conditions such as aortic stenosis and heart failure more efficiently and accurately. Backed by a publicly traded Australian parent company, Echo IQ operates as an independent U.S. business with access to capital, a growing commercial footprint, and a differentiated data advantage built on the largest echocardiography dataset in the world. As the company gains FDA clearance and expands its heart failure indication, Echo IQ is entering a critical growth phase with a significant market opportunity ahead.

Job Description

The Area Sales Director is a senior individual contributor responsible for driving adoption of Echo IQ's AI solutions across a defined, high-opportunity territory.

Territories are designed around echocardiography volume and key metros rather than strict geographic boundaries. This is a field-based role focused on building pipeline, advancing multi-threaded opportunities, and closing subscription-based SaaS agreements.
