About the Role

We are seeking a high-impact seller to drive revenue growth through agency partnerships, with a focus on large holding companies and their healthcare media teams.
This role is responsible for introducing, educating, and scaling adoption of our healthcare digital audiences across agency planners, buyers, and activation teams, enabling agencies to activate and resell our data across their life sciences, payer, and provider clients.

Healthcare marketers are increasingly shifting toward data-driven targeting to improve engagement with both healthcare professionals and consumers.

This role is critical to establishing our audiences as a trusted, compliant, and high-performing solution within agency planning and activation workflows, unlocking scaled, repeatable growth through agency channels.

Education & Enablement
  • Educate agency teams on healthcare audience strategies, including clinical and therapeutic interest-based targeting, HCP audiences, and patient journey insights
  • Position audiences within programmatic workflows (DSPs, data marketplaces, onboarding platforms such as LiveRamp)
  • Deliver training and playbooks that enable agencies to confidently activate healthcare audiences at scale

Sales Execution
  • Identify opportunities tied to healthcare campaign briefs, brand launches, and therapeutic area focus
  • Translate client objectives into compliant audience strategies (e.g., awareness, patient engagement, HCP targeting)
  • Close deals with agencies and support downstream activation into end advertiser platforms

Activation & Expansion
  • Partner with internal teams to ensure successful campaign execution and delivery
  • Use performance insights (CTR, engagement, conversion signals) to drive repeat usage
  • Expand adoption across additional brands, therapeutic areas, and agency divisions

Cross-Functional Collaboration
  • Work with Operations, Product and Marketing to refine healthcare audience positioning and GTM
  • Provide feedback on demand trends (e.g., HCP targeting, DTC engagement, therapeutic categories)

What Success Looks Like
  • Agencies consistently activating and reselling healthcare audiences across multiple clients
  • Growth in repeatable, scalable activation revenue across therapeutic areas
  • Strong relationships with healthcare media planners, buyers, and programmatic teams
  • Expansion across Holdco networks and increased share of healthcare media spend

What You'll Bring
  • 4-6 years of experience in digital media, adtech, or data sales
  • Proven experience selling into agencies, ideally supporting healthcare or life sciences clients
  • Strong understanding of programmatic ecosystems (DSPs, onboarding, identity, audience targeting)
  • Familiarity with healthcare marketing use cases (HCP engagement, patient engagement, script lift, brand awareness)
