With 20 million patients reached since 2013, CareMessage is the only patient engagement solution proven to improve health equity at scale. The team, many with lived experiences in these communities, leverages a nonprofit model to reinvest revenue into impact. CareMessage is the partner of choice for organizations committed to advancing health equity. Who We’re Looking For We are hiring a Sales Lead (L4) to own sales execution outcomes across new business, renewals, and expansion, while also personally closing a meaningful portion of revenue. This role operates through a team of L3 Strategic Account Managers, who own day-to-day account execution, and is accountable for ensuring CareMessage consistently meets its revenue and retention goals. The Sales Lead blends hands-on selling with execution leadership and operational ownership. This role is accountable for $2M in new business and a 101% Net Revenue Retention target, with the expectation that the Sales Lead will personally close new ARR and drive the remainder through Strategic Account Managers. In parallel, this role owns Deal Desk and Revenue Operations, and Sales Enablement, ensuring that how we sell is disciplined, predictable, and scalable. You will report to the Chief Customer and Revenue Officer and play a foundational role in shaping CareMessage’s commercial engine as we grow. Who You Are You are a senior commercial leader who owns revenue outcomes, not just process. You are comfortable carrying a personal quota while also leading execution through other sellers, and you bring firsthand experience closing complex SaaS deals involving nuanced pricing, contracting, and multi-stakeholder negotiations. You think in systems and standards rather than one-off heroics, using structure and discipline to raise performance across the sales organization. You coach, unblock, and elevate the sellers around you, bringing calm, clarity, and decisiveness to ambiguous situations. Most importantly, you are motivated by building sustainable revenue models that support long-term health equity impact. \n Key Responsibilities Sales Execution Leadership (Through Strategic Account Managers) Own sales execution outcomes across new business, renewals, and expansion. Be accountable for $2M in new ARR and 101% Net Revenue Retention. Provide execution leadership, coaching, and deal support to L3 Strategic Account Managers, who own day-to-day account execution.

Lead complex, high-stakes, or strategically important deals from discovery through close. Model best-in-class sales execution, negotiation, and account strategy. Translate firsthand selling insights into improvements in pricing, messaging, and tooling. Deal Desk & Commercial Governance Own Deal Desk operations, including pricing review, discounting strategy, contract structure, and approval workflows. Partner with Chief Revenue Officer, finance, or compliance to ensure deals meet margin, compliance, and risk standards while maintaining velocity. Define approval thresholds, escalation paths, and exception frameworks. Ensure consistent deal quality across all Strategic Account Managers. Revenue Operations & Systems Ownership Own the commercial RevOps spine across tools and workflows (CRM, forecasting, approvals, reporting). Ensure data integrity across pipeline, bookings, ARR, subsidies, and renewals. Partner with Chief Revenue Officer and RevOps lead on forecasting accuracy and revenue modeling.

The initial focus is on execution excellence and leverage through systems, standards, and cross-functional leadership, not immediate people management. As the revenue organization scales, this role is expected to transition into direct people management, with responsibility for Strategic Account Managers and Sales Operations. Progression will be based on demonstrated ability to scale revenue, build durable operating systems, and lead execution through others. Requirements 8–12+ years of experience in SaaS sales, sales leadership, or revenue operations. Proven experience owning a personal quota while leading execution through other sellers. Strong background in pricing strategy, contract negotiation, and complex deals. Analytical, systems-oriented approach to revenue execution.
