• Partner with customers to introduce and position a portfolio of therapies, securing formulary access and accelerating adoption
• Collaborate cross-functionally with market access, supply chain, and leadership teams to align strategy and execute effectively in the field
• Develop and execute strategic territory and account plans to expand market penetration and exceed growth targets
• Own forecasting, pipeline management, and CRM reporting to provide clear visibility into performance
• Act as a key voice of the market, sharing insights and feedback to help shape commercial strategy and regional prioritization

• Proven track record of driving revenue growth through both new account acquisition and expansion of existing accounts
• Experience working with Long-Term Care (LTC) customers, including pharmacies, institutional providers, or distributor networks
• Strong understanding of contracting, formulary access, and pull-through dynamics within the pharmacy or institutional sales model
• Demonstrated ability to manage complex, high-value accounts and build relationships with senior decision-makers
• Comfortable operating in a greenfield or underdeveloped territory, with a willingness to build a book of business from scratch
• Experience supporting product launches or expanding portfolio adoption within existing customers
• Background in CNS, cardiovascular, or therapies relevant to geriatric populations is preferred
• Self-starter who can operate independently in a lean, growing organization with direct exposure to leadership
