ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY

Artera is seeking a Senior Account Executive to drive growth across our healthcare client base. You’ll engage decision-makers at leading specialty provider organizations, navigating complex sales cycles and delivering tech-enabled solutions that improve care delivery and operational efficiency.

You’ll collaborate closely with Sales Development Representatives while owning your pipeline end-to-end — from prospecting and market research to strategic outreach and deal execution. You know how to uncover opportunities through industry intel, digital channels, and real-world networking.

This role is ideal for someone passionate about transforming healthcare through innovation, with a proven track record of consultative selling in fast-paced, mission-driven environments.

Responsibilities

This role is about strategy, relationship building, and communication skills that separate top AE’s from the rest. You will:

End to End Sales Ownership: Own and drive the full sales cycle, from prospecting and lead generation to closing six-figure deals.
Pipeline Growth & Management: Partner with an SDR to build a robust pipeline, but take ownership of generating new business through proactive outreach, including networking, industry events, and thought leadership.
Industry Expertise: Stay ahead of industry trends by consuming relevant content to identify opportunities and position Artera as an industry leader.
Clear Communication: Conduct engaging discovery calls, demos, and presentations that effectively communicate Artera’s value to a wide range of healthcare organizations, including physician practices, management groups, and financial stakeholders.
Collaboration and Iteration: Work collaboratively across internal teams, including Customer Success, Sales, Engineering, and FinOps, to develop tailored solutions for clients.
Strategic Closes: Leverage Meddpicc or similar sales methodologies to ensure a structured and effective approach to closing deals.
High Impact Selling: Consistently meet or exceed an annual quota of $1M in revenue.
Data & CRM Focused: Track and analyze sales activities and outcomes using CRM tools like Salesforce, Gong, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, and ZoomInfo.
Client Relationship Management: Build long-term relationships with clients and ensure smooth handoffs to Customer Success Managers for retention and upsell opportunities.

Requirements

General Sales Experience: 4-7 years of SaaS sales experience, with a proven track record of meeting or exceeding quotas (minimum of 80%+ of blended quota attainment).
Provider Sales Experience: Experience selling into specialty healthcare markets (e.g., orthopedics, gastroenterology, outpatient practices, etc), with a strong understanding of value-based care, reimbursement models, and physician-oriented solutions.
Unstoppable Drive: A self-starter who proactively finds new business opportunities.
Niche Market Selling: Demonstrated ability to navigate complex organizational structures and collaborate in team-selling environments.
Communication Focused: Exceptional communication, presentation, and storytelling skills.
Sales-Enablement Oriented: Proficiency with CRM tools and sales enablement platforms (Salesforce, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, Gong).

Bonus

Experience working in startups or scaling companies.
Background in clinical or administrative healthcare roles.
Exposure to crafting or iterating on sales presentations and materials.

Our Interview Process

We want this to be a fast, transparent, and mutually beneficial process. Here are the steps you can expect:
Hiring Manager Video Interview (30 min): A deeper conversation focused on your motivation, sales mindset, and demonstrating your potential for rapid growth within the AE function.
Sales Leader Video Interview (30 min): An additional chance to showcase what you’ve learned in your time at Artera, and why you’re the right fit.
Panel Video Interview (45 min): A video interview with a panel of three sales leaders, where you’ll have the chance to execute a short discovery call to demonstrate your communication skills and coach-ability under pressure, and ability to navigate push back.
Executive Video Interview (30 min): The final stage, where you’ll have the opportunity to meet with Tom McIntyre to chat through strategy, growth, and the overall outlook for our sales team.

OUR APPROACH TO WORK LOCATION

At Artera, we believe the best work happens when people are truly connected. Our AI services model has shown what’s possible when small, focused teams move fast together — the speed of collaboration, pace of career growth, and quality of what we build can become stronger when teams share space. As we grow, we want every new teammate to feel part of an in-person community from day one.

That’s why we are focusing our U.S. hiring in three cities, where we are investing in offices and building strong local teams:

Santa Barbara, CA (Our HQ)
Seattle, WA
Kansas City, KS/MO

Unless a role’s posting states otherwise, new U.S. roles are based in one of these three cities, and candidates should reside in (or be willing to relocate to) one of these areas. Each location follows an in-person schedule that reflects how our local teams work best; we’ll walk you through what to expect for your specific role and city during the interview process.

Focusing on offices and hiring in a few locations, rather than spreading thin across many cities, lets us invest deeply in each one so every team has real community, mentorship, and momentum in person.

A note on Artera Government Solutions roles: We may also hire out of our Wayne, PA office. If a position is based in Wayne, the job posting will say so directly.
