Role Summary

We are seeking a Sales Director – Healthcare & Life Sciences (HCLS) to join our growing sales team. This is a “hunter” role focused on new business development in the HCLS industry. The Sales Director will proactively identify and open new accounts with mid-sized to large healthcare providers, health plans, pharmaceutical companies, biotechnology firms, and medical device organizations. You will drive the end-to-end sales cycle for technology services deals – from initial prospecting and meeting activity through pipeline development, deal closure, and handoff. Key performance indicators (KPIs) for this role include high client meeting volumes, robust pipeline generation and curation, and successful conversion of new logos into long-term clients.

Key Responsibilities

• New Business Development: Proactively prospect and hunt for new HCLS clients, including mid-sized to large healthcare providers, health plans, pharmaceutical companies, biotechnology firms, and medical device organizations. Leverage industry contacts, cold outreach, networking, and market research to generate qualified leads.

• Sales Pipeline Generation: Build and maintain a robust sales pipeline of opportunities. Drive a high level of meeting activity with prospective clients each week to continuously feed the pipeline with new leads. Curate and manage the pipeline diligently by tracking opportunity stages, next steps, and probability of closure in the CRM system.

• Solution Selling: Consult with prospective HCLS clients to understand their business challenges (e.g. legacy system modernization, healthcare data management, patient experience, clinical and administrative workflow optimization, payer operations, and life sciences technology modernization) and position Celsior’s technology services (digital transformation, data/AI solutions, cloud enablement, application modernization, healthcare IT solutions, etc.) as tailored solutions. Coordinate with pre-sales and technical teams to develop proposals and presentations that address client needs.

• End-to-End Sales Cycle Management: Lead the complete sales cycle from first contact through negotiation and closing. Prepare and deliver compelling presentations, proposals, and RFP responses. Negotiate contract terms and pricing within established guidelines to close deals that meet or exceed targets.

• Market & Industry Engagement: Stay informed on HCLS industry trends, regulatory changes, and major initiatives (e.g. healthcare digital transformation, EHR/EMR modernization, healthcare data interoperability, AI adoption, cloud migration, and pharmaceutical technology modernization) to anticipate client needs. Represent Celsior at industry events, conferences, and webinars in the region to increase brand visibility and generate new leads.

• Reporting & Pipeline Hygiene: Maintain accurate records of all sales activities, contacts, and opportunities in the CRM. Provide regular updates and pipeline reports to senior management, including forecasts, meeting activity reports, and action plans to meet quarterly and annual sales goals.

Qualifications & Experience

• Experience: Minimum 7+ years of experience in technology services sales or IT consulting sales, with a significant focus on the Healthcare & Life Sciences industry. Proven track record of success as a hunter, including winning new client deals and consistently meeting/exceeding new business targets.

• Domain Knowledge: Deep understanding of the HCLS domain – ideally healthcare provider, healthcare payer, pharmaceutical, biotechnology, or medical device operations and pain points in areas like healthcare IT, data management, clinical and administrative workflows, and digital transformation. Ability to credibly engage senior HCLS stakeholders in discussions about digital transformation and IT solutions.

• Healthcare Technology & Platforms: Preferably experienced in selling services around healthcare technology platforms, enterprise applications, EHR/EMR systems, healthcare data platforms, interoperability solutions, or life sciences technology platforms. Knowledge of healthcare IT ecosystems and the technology requirements of healthcare and life sciences organizations is a strong plus.

• Client Network: Existing relationships or network within mid-sized to large healthcare providers, health plans, pharmaceutical companies, biotechnology firms, or medical device organizations. Familiarity with the procurement and decision-making processes of enterprise HCLS organizations.

• Sales Skills: Excellent consultative sales and negotiation skills. Able to craft value propositions and ROI arguments that resonate with healthcare and life sciences business and IT leaders. Strong presentation and communication abilities, with experience pitching to C-level and VP-level clients.

• Self-Starter: High-energy, self-motivated individual with an entrepreneurial mindset. Comfortable working independently to initiate and drive opportunities, as well as collaborating with technical teams for complex deal solutioning. Organizes and prioritizes work effectively to manage multiple pursuits in parallel.

• Results Orientation: Data-driven approach to manage sales activities – diligent in meeting activity, pipeline management, and follow-ups. Capable of hitting the ground running and delivering against KPI targets for meetings, pipeline, and new wins.

• Background: Bachelor’s degree in Business, Marketing, IT or related field preferred. Experience working in or with Tier-1 IT services firms or large consulting companies is an advantage (demonstrates ability to navigate large enterprise sales cycles and high-value deals).

• Meeting Activity: Volume of client meetings and engagements conducted monthly/quarterly (reflecting proactive outreach and prospecting efforts).
