[Remote] Account Executive - Clinical Education (Academia)

Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Oxford Medical Simulation (OMS) is scaling across U.S. nursing schools, medical schools and academic health systems, and they're hiring a commercially driven Account Executive to own new business growth across this market. This role involves managing a full-cycle SaaS sales process, building relationships with academic institutions, and developing strategies to drive sales and establish long-term partnerships.

Responsibilities

• New business quota: own and hit your number across a defined territory of nursing schools, medical schools, universities and academic health systems
• Pipeline: take ownership of an existing pipeline of qualified opportunities and build coverage through outbound prospecting, events, referrals and BDR support
• Territory strategy: develop and execute a plan for your market - knowing which institutions to prioritise, how to sequence them, and how to build OMS's presence where it isn't yet established
• Forecast accuracy: maintain a reliable pipeline and CRM hygiene in HubSpot
• Strategic account development: establish institutional partnerships that create long-term expansion opportunities across programmes, faculties and campuses
• Prospect and develop relationships with nursing schools, medical schools, academic health systems and simulation centres across your territory
• Lead consultative discovery to understand curriculum challenges, learner outcome goals and institutional priorities
• Build and present compelling business cases that connect educational outcomes with institutional goals and return on investment
• Manage multi-year agreement opportunities from first conversation through to signed contract, navigating faculty, simulation leadership, academic leadership, procurement and IT
• Demonstrate how OMS supports curriculum delivery, competency-based education, learner engagement and assessment - coordinating clinical education and solutions colleagues when needed
• Navigate university procurement, purchasing and contracting processes through to close
• Build strong, multi-threaded relationships across simulation directors, faculty, program leaders, deans and budget holders
• Represent OMS in the field - at academic conferences, simulation events and nursing/medical education meetings - this is a high field-presence role
• Partner with Marketing and BDRs to develop target account strategies and grow pipeline coverage
• Feed market intelligence and buyer insight back into the commercial team

• Proven track record selling into nursing schools, medical schools, academic health systems or healthcare academia more broadly

• Strong new business instincts: comfortable with outbound, pipeline creation and managing long institutional buying cycles without losing momentum
• Excellent discovery, presentation and commercial negotiation skills
• Strong forecasting discipline and CRM management (HubSpot preferred)
• Comfortable with significant field travel - approximately 50% of your time, including overnight stays and conference attendance
• Experience selling clinical simulation technology, medical education technology or healthcare training platforms
• Familiarity with how nursing and medical school curricula are structured, and with accreditation frameworks such as ACEN or CCNE
• Exposure to university procurement, IT review and contracting processes
• Experience working alongside clinical educators or solutions engineers in a team-selling model
