You’ll be a hands-on front-line leader responsible for coaching your team through complex enterprise sales cycles, building executive relationships, and driving adoption of OpenAI’s platform.

• Define and refine the healthcare GTM strategy, including account segmentation, prioritization, executive engagement, and territory planning.
• Drive disciplined pipeline generation, accurate forecasting, and consistent execution across complex enterprise opportunities.
• Coach teams through consultative sales cycles involving IT, clinical leadership, operations, digital transformation, security, privacy, compliance, procurement, legal, and executive stakeholders.
• Help customers connect AI capabilities to measurable outcomes across administrative workflows, workforce productivity, knowledge access, contact center operations, and patient and member engagement.
• Guide teams in building business cases that reflect healthcare economics, implementation requirements, organizational readiness, and customer priorities.
• Help customers navigate the path from pilots to broader adoption, with clear success criteria, executive sponsorship, and plans for deployment and change management.
• Partner closely with Product, Solutions Architecture, Technical Success, Legal, Security, and Finance to address customer requirements and support successful deployments.
• Bring structured feedback to Product and leadership on healthcare-specific needs, integration requirements, adoption barriers, competitive dynamics, and emerging opportunities.
• Partner with Marketing on healthcare industry events, executive engagement programs, and campaigns that generate qualified pipeline and strengthen strategic relationships.
• Establish a culture of accountability, customer focus, and operational excellence while maintaining a low-ego, highly collaborative environment.

You might thrive in this role if you have:

• 15+ years of enterprise sales, GTM, or sales leadership experience, including significant experience leading teams selling into large healthcare organizations.
• Proven track record building and scaling enterprise sales teams responsible for complex strategic accounts and substantial revenue targets.
• Deep understanding of the healthcare ecosystem, including the distinct priorities, buying processes, and operating models of providers, payers, and healthcare technology companies.
• Experience leading consultative, multi-product, or platform-based sales motions involving executive sponsors, technical buyers, and clinical or operational stakeholders.
• Demonstrated ability to help customers evaluate technology investments through measurable business value, implementation feasibility, and long-term adoption.
• Strong operational rigor across forecasting, pipeline management, territory planning, and performance management.
• Ability to operate effectively in a fast-moving, ambiguous environment while helping teams maintain focus and execution discipline.
• Strong executive presence and the ability to engage credibly with CIOs, CTOs, chief digital and AI officers, clinical executives, and senior operational and business leaders.
• A low-ego leadership style with a demonstrated commitment to developing talent, building trust, and creating high-performing teams.
• Public company experience strongly preferred.

• Experience partnering with customers on AI governance, technology evaluation, deployment planning, and organizational change.
• Experience influencing product roadmaps, pricing, packaging, or enterprise commercial structures based on industry needs.
