Job Title: Sr Regional Sales Executive, Healthcare Sales – Australia & New Zealand
Location: Melbourne, Victoria
Company Overview
We are a US-based healthcare technology company with 250+ customer sites across Australia and New Zealand. Our solutions are the de facto standard in eHealth NSW, Queensland Health, and Te Whatu Ora (Health New Zealand). As we continue to expand our footprint, we are seeking a founding sales leader in the region to drive new business and deepen relationships with key healthcare stakeholders.
Job Summary: The Sr Regional Sales Executive is a strategic sales leader responsible for driving high-value growth across complex public and private healthcare organizations in Australia and New Zealand. This role demands deep industry expertise, a consultative approach, and the ability to navigate long sales cycles involving multiple stakeholders. The Sr Regional Sales Executive will own the full sales process—from strategic prospecting and solution alignment to executive-level negotiation and closing—while also contributing to account expansion and retention strategies. As a senior member of the sales team, the Sr Regional Sales Executive will collaborate closely with marketing, product, and customer success teams to shape go-to-market strategies, influence product development, and ensure client outcomes are achieved. This role requires a strong understanding of healthcare operations, regulatory environments, and SaaS business models, along with the emotional intelligence to build trust and credibility with clinical, technical, and financial decision-makers. The ideal candidate will possess established relationships at the clinical, technical, and executive levels within hospitals and day surgery centers, with a strong network in the ANZ healthcare arena. Experience in GI or endoscopy is highly desirable.
We are launching a new, cloud-based solution into the ANZ market and are looking for someone who has experience penetrating new markets with cutting-edge technologies and solutions. This role requires an individual with incredible grit and intestinal fortitude - someone who thrives on a challenge and pushes forward to solve problems. We need a creative, bold, proactive, and positive sales leader who is excited about a challenge and will stay focused and optimistic in the face of adversity. In addition, the successful candidate will have the commercial maturity to engage existing on‑premise customers at the right moment and articulate a compelling migration pathway to the cloud platform, converting perpetual and term licence holders when the timing and appetite are right.
