Role
Who you are
- The ideal candidate is a strategic, consultative seller with a proven track record of closing high-value, complex deals
- This role requires a professional who is not only a strong closer but also a trusted expert who can relentlessly prospect, consistently exceed annual quotas, and navigate a competitive landscape with agility and curiosity
- The successful candidate thrives in highly interactive environments and demonstrates strong interpersonal and influencing skills across diverse stakeholders
- They bring a competitive mindset, high personal accountability, and strong goal orientation—approaching each territory with ownership, resiliency, and the ability to adapt quickly while maintaining a deep customer focus
- Strong preference for a candidate based in the Pacific, Mountain, or Central time zones, who is able to travel 40-50% within the West and MidWest region
- Experience: 8+ years of enterprise sales experience with a proven track record of successfully closing deals exceeding $1M in the benefits, health tech, medical device, SaaS, digital health, or enterprise software sectors. Experience selling into health systems, integrated delivery networks (IDNs), academic medical centers, ACOs, or other provider organizations is highly desired. Candidates must demonstrate strong relationship-building skills and the ability to influence stakeholders across large, complex organizations
- Performance: A history of exceptional sales performance with quotas above $1M and consistent attainment within the past two years. The ideal candidate brings a competitive drive and a “will to win,” balanced with a consultative approach to solving complex client challenges
- Complex Sales: Proven experience navigating extended enterprise sales cycles, particularly those exceeding 12 months. Candidates should demonstrate persistence, adaptability, and resiliency when managing long decision processes and competitive environments
- Business Acumen: Deep understanding of complex sales processes, including RFP management, legal negotiations, and building consensus across broad buying committees. Strong Salesforce discipline and forecasting accuracy required. Knowledge of health system procurement processes and the operational dynamics of provider organizations is strongly preferred
- Cultural Add: A “quota is not the goal” mindset is essential. The ideal candidate is driven to solve complex client problems and deliver measurable value to healthcare organizations. They operate with intentionality, strong accountability, and a customer-first perspective—viewing quota attainment as the natural outcome of a strategic, consultative sales approach
- Additional: Formal sales training is a plus

Our take
In the US, millions of people suffer from mental illness each year. This is not only a detriment to individuals, but to businesses as well - with research suggesting that depression and anxiety disorders lead to $1 trillion in lost productivity worldwide each year.
Lyra Health is out to tackle these issues head-on, by delivering mental health care for employees. The company offers video counselling sessions and one-to-one messaging to help users with a variety of conditions including anxiety, depression and substance use disorder.
The company is a key player in the sector alongside peers like Calm, Genoa and Talkspace. Impressively, it boasts a 90% satisfaction rate across its more than 2 million members, demonstrating the impact its products can have.
In 2025, Lyra Health launched a ‘clinical-grade’ chatbot to its offering. This has been met with mixed feelings due to evidence that AI can act unpredictably in response to mental health concerns. It will take time to see whether this feature will enhance or diminish the user experience.
