• Market Expertise: Stay current on RWE market dynamics, technology and AI, regulatory guidance for real-world data, and competitor offerings to position Aetion as a strategic leader and partner of choice in the evidence generation ecosystem.
• Forecasting & Reporting: Maintain accurate pipeline management and forecasting in CRM systems, with attention to evidence project cycles, platform usage models, and customer expansion opportunities.
• Drive Growth: Identify new and upsell opportunities across assigned territories and existing accounts, particularly in expanding RWE adoption for post-approval studies, safety monitoring, and market access support.

• Proven Track Record:6+ years of successful sales experience, ideally in healthcare, life sciences, or SaaS; with a strong preference for experience selling RWE, HEOR, or data analytics solutions. Background in selling AI is also to be considered.
• RWE Expertise:Deep understanding of real-world data sources, evidence generation methodologies, and use cases across the product lifecycle — from clinical development to commercialization.
