- No less than 1 year of enterprise sales experience
- Experience in healthcare technology solutions is a plus
- Experience owning and closing large, strategic pharmaceutical accounts
- Existing knowledge of the pharmaceutical ecosystem and how large manufacturers evaluate and purchase new technology
- Demonstrated intellectual capacity: this candidate must be able to understand the underlying technology and be able to collaborate with clients on how it fits into their business needs
- Demonstrated motivation and hustle: a high-energy and fast-paced approach to problem-solving and taking initiative; past examples of demonstrating grit and entrepreneurial spirit a plus
- Experience working in an early-stage environment is preferred; the candidate should understand how to operate effectively with limited resources selling new products

- Must be comfortable up to 10-20% domestic travel
What the job involves
- As an Principal Account Executive, Pharma you close deals by understanding the customer, understanding the product and making magic happen. Who knew?
- You’ll be responsible for owning some of Tennr’s largest and most strategic pharmaceutical accounts. You’ll bring your experience selling into Pharma to the table, helping us understand how these organizations buy, how to navigate them, and what it takes to win
- The Tennr product is great, but people are stubborn and tend to not talk to strangers
- To help, we’ve got a team of SDRs working to help you generate opportunities. Also some pretty crafty marketing initiatives (the Tennr Taco Truck really means something to pharma companies in Texas)
- If you’re good, you’ll get paid an egregious sum, so in exchange, you have to own the whole sales cycle from discovery to close, and keep a tight process along the way. You’ll negotiate pricing. You will never sell what you wouldn’t buy. You must deeply care about your customers and the craft of sales. And since the product is loved, you’ll love selling it
- You’ll have to hit quotas of course. Wouldn’t be much fun otherwise
- Account Planning: As an enterprise rep it is your responsibility to understand your patch of accounts better than anyone at the company. You, along with your manager & the drugs team, will be responsible for mapping out the accounts that fit our ICP, the key contacts associated with them, and your hypothesis around the value we can provide. It’s your job to test and iterate your perspective throughout an evaluation process
- Pipeline Management: Use Tennr’s sales process to manage your pipeline. It’s not just putting deals into our CRM, but understanding the reality and risks of the deal based on the exit criteria associated with deal stages in our sales process. When you’re stuck, you proactively ask for help
- Collaboration: Deal team culture is central here. You will work closely with Sales Development Representatives (SDRs), Sales Engineers, Professional Services, Tennr Leadership and channel partners to build, advance and close opportunities. Lone-wolves need not apply
- Client Relationships: You are responsible for forming a relationship with the customer, renewing that customer, and cross-selling into that customer
Our take
In the healthcare system, there are inefficiencies associated with the referral process to specialists. Often coming in various forms, from email to fax, without any standardized structure, this leads to administrative burdens and significant delays in patient care.
Tennr has developed a machine learning and document scanning platform that automates the extraction of relevant information from referrals and facilitates faster appointment scheduling. With its focus solely on the healthcare industry, it addresses the complexities of medical terminology and ensures doctors, clinics and insurers stay informed throughout the process.
It's had a successful start, customers reporting significant improvements in their workflows, signalling strong market demand for the solution. This success is accompanied by strong funding, enabling the company to focus on accelerating its growth. It has also announced the launch of Tennr Network, which provides real-time updates to referring and receiving providers, as well as patients, on the status of any referral.
