About the company: The company’s mission is to create reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems. We want AI to be safe and beneficial for our users and for society as a whole. Our team is a quickly growing group of committed researchers, engineers, policy experts, and business leaders working together to build beneficial AI systems.
About the role: As the Sales Manager for Healthcare & Life Sciences at the company, you'll lead the foundational team introducing our frontier AI platform to the healthcare and life sciences ecosystem — spanning biopharma, payors, and providers. You'll build and develop a team of Strategic Account Executives who drive adoption of safe, frontier AI by securing strategic deals with biopharma companies, health plans, health systems, and hospitals. You'll bring deep domain fluency across the segment to coach your team's consultative sales approach, while becoming a trusted advisor yourself to senior healthcare and life sciences stakeholders — helping them embed and deploy AI while uncovering its full range of capabilities.
Key responsibilities:
- Build and lead a specialized team of Strategic Account Executives covering biopharma, payor, and provider accounts, setting growth targets by sub-segment and coaching reps through the full sales cycle from outbound to close.
- Design and oversee sales strategies tailored to each sub-segment's distinct procurement cycles — R&D and commercial budgeting in biopharma, value-based care initiatives and Star Ratings priorities for payors, clinical and administrative budgeting for providers — translating market and trend analysis into account plans and campaigns that meet and exceed team revenue targets.
- Identify and prioritize high-potential opportunities across clinical departments, care management teams, claims processing units, drug discovery and commercial functions, and administrative offices, partnering cross-functionally to differentiate the company's offering for healthcare delivery, payor, and life sciences use cases.
- Run a disciplined pipeline and forecasting cadence across the team, managing an evolving sales process to deliver predictable, coachable performance against quota.
- Serve as the company's domain expert across the healthcare and life sciences value chain — including payer operations (claims adjudication, prior authorization, risk adjustment), provider operations, and biopharma R&D/commercial functions — and translate that expertise into repeatable playbooks, frameworks, and go-to-market strategies your team and the broader field organization can scale.
- Partner directly with C-suite executives (CEOs, CFOs, CMOs, CTOs, CCOs) across biopharma, payor, and provider organizations to design multi-year AI transformation roadmaps and build long-term trusted advisor relationships.
- Partner closely with Product and Applied AI to translate feedback from clinicians, care coordinators, researchers, and administrative leaders into product and roadmap input, strengthening the company's value proposition across the segment.
- Build strategic relationships with healthcare- and life sciences-focused system integrators, health tech vendors, and industry organizations to scale go-to-market capabilities.
- Establish the company's position as the AI partner of choice across healthcare and life sciences through conference presentations, white papers, case studies, and participation in industry forums.
- Codify learnings into playbooks, templates, and best practices, partnering with Marketing and Enablement to scale winning use cases and proof points across biopharma, payor, and provider accounts.
Minimum qualifications:
- 10+ years of experience in healthcare and/or life sciences, with at least 5 years specifically across payor, provider, or biopharma segments.
- Experience in leadership roles managing or coaching enterprise sales teams, with a track record of driving measurable revenue outcomes in healthcare and/or life sciences settings.

- Proven experience exceeding revenue targets by effectively managing a team's pipeline and an evolving sales process.
- Excellent communication skills, with the ability to present confidently across healthcare and life sciences audiences.
- A genuine interest in deploying AI responsibly and motivation to advance the company's mission of building safe, beneficial AI.
Preferred qualifications:
- Deep understanding of buying cycles, decision-making processes, and key pain points across two or more of biopharma, payor, and provider organizations.
- A strategic, analytical approach to assessing the healthcare and life sciences market.
- Experience developing and refining AI use cases in collaboration with customers and channel partners.
- Experience building or scaling a specialized sales team from an early stage.
- Passion for and/or experience with advanced AI systems and their applications across clinical and life sciences settings.
