About Think Research

Think Research is a Canadian health technology company that connects patients with the right clinician and gives care teams the tools to deliver better, human-centred care.

We run two product lines. Digital Front Door (DFD) brings virtual care and patient access to provincial health systems and hospitals across Canada. Pharmapod helps pharmacies and hospitals manage medication incidents and patient safety across North America.

Our ambition is to be the leading DFD provider in Canada and the leader in medication incident management in North America.

The role

As the Senior Sales Executive, you will own our provincial and health-system DFD deals end to end — the largest, longest and most strategic deals in the company.

Today these deals are carried by our executive team. You will be their first dedicated senior owner: running the sales cycle, the account strategy and the forecast, while our executives step into the sponsor role with ministries and health-authority leadership.

You report to the Chief Commercial Officer and work closely with our executive sponsors, the Bid Strategy Lead, Solutions Engineering, and Delivery & Customer Excellence.

This is a remote role with regular travel across Canada. The successful candidate should be based near a major Canadian airport hub (e.g., Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, Calgary, or Vancouver) to support frequent travel to customer and partner meetings, industry events, and internal team meetings.

What you will do

• Account strategy. Build and run a named account plan for every province and health authority in play: stakeholders, buying process, budget cycle, political calendar and procurement vehicle.
• Phase discipline. Break system-level programs into phases with their own scope, value and signature. Forecast the phase, not the program.
• Mutual close plans. Agree a close plan with the customer on every deal above $1M: signer, paper path, procurement and legal steps, and dates on both sides.
• RFP pursuits. Lead each provincial RFP with the Bid Manager: bid/no-bid, win themes, pricing strategy, orals and demos.
• Executive sponsorship. Pair our executives with ministers, deputy ministers and health-authority leaders. Brief them, deploy them, and keep them in the sponsor role rather than running the cycle.
• Multi-threading. Build relationships with at least three stakeholders per account so no deal depends on one person.
• Forecast accuracy. Keep Salesforce current against our stage entry and exit criteria, and commit your number in the bi-weekly forecast call.
• Handover to delivery. Build the delivery plan alongside each close and stay engaged through go-live, so the next phase is earned.
• Partners. Work with our delivery and integration partners where they strengthen a bid or extend our reach.
