Senior Enterprise Sales Executive, Healthcare and Life Sciences - US-Based

Toptal is a global network of top talent in business, design, and technology that enables companies to scale their teams on-demand. As a Senior Enterprise Sales Executive, you will drive growth within the Healthcare and Life Sciences industry by managing a targeted portfolio of Tier 1 accounts and collaborating with various teams to deliver tailored solutions.

Responsibilities:

• You will be responsible for building and managing a targeted portfolio of core Tier 1 accounts—while partnering selectively with Client Partners to expand strategic relationships
• Your book of business will include both Net New and Core accounts, each requiring distinct executive-level account management capabilities
• Net New accounts typically involve mid-level stakeholders across one or two business units and call for a disciplined, transactional approach, matching skills to immediate needs with speed and precision
• In contrast, Core accounts are more complex and mature, with deeper engagement across multiple business units and senior executive relationships
• These accounts demand a highly consultative, strategic approach which includes navigating cross-functional priorities, aligning to evolving client business objectives, and demonstrating credibility at the C-suite level
• Success will require the ability to adapt your engagement style to the maturity and complexity of each account, while consistently driving value and long-term growth
• Working closely with our Sales Development Representatives (SDRs), you will prospect, pitch, negotiate, and close new opportunities while also expanding existing relationships
• You’ll operate in a highly collaborative, fast-paced environment, working alongside pre-sales experts and delivery teams to craft compelling, tailored solutions for each client
• Your initial portfolio will scale toward an annualized gross sales target of $5.5M in your first year, with expectations to grow into a $12M book by years 2–3, aligning with our broader portfolio strategies

Collaborate with Pre-Sales Solutions and Delivery teams to understand how we design engagements
• In the first three months, expect to: Exercise discretion and independent judgment in the negotiation of contracts, work collaboratively with clients, and help them engage with Toptal’s capabilities and specialists.

Establish yourself as a trusted advisor, offering innovative, bold ideas and driving value added engagements across your accounts
