As a Technical Account Executive, you will occupy a unique, high-leverage role at the intersection of sales strategy and technical architecture. You are a hybrid operator - part strategic closer, part systems architect - capable of navigating complex healthcare data conversations without a traditional "safety net."
You will be responsible for the entire sales lifecycle, from initial technical discovery to final contract execution. Unlike traditional sales roles, you will independently scope integration workflows, map data requirements (HL7, FHIR, X12), and build technical trust with engineering leaders. You will be on the front lines, acting as the primary point of contact for both the "how it works" and the "how it scales" for our prospective partners.
