About the Role and Team:
The Account Executive, eClinical is a quota-carrying sales role responsible for driving new business growth for OpenClinica's core eClinical platform. This is a true hunting role focused primarily on new logo acquisition, with additional responsibility for expansion in accounts where our Customer Success team is not actively involved.
The role is focused on selling OpenClinica's eClinical solutions, including EDC, eConsent, eCOA/ePRO, analytics, and EMR integrations, to small to mid-size biotech and medtech companies with lean clinical operations teams, limited internal IT resources, and time-sensitive study needs. Some academic opportunities may arise, but that is not the primary focus.
This role requires someone who can create a meaningful self-sourced pipeline through disciplined outbound prospecting, manage a full sales cycle, and close business in a way that improves predictability over time. The Account Executive will partner closely with Sales Engineering, Customer Success, Marketing, and leadership to move opportunities forward, maintain strong sales discipline, and contribute to the growth of the business.
