About the Role 

We are seeking a high-performing, consultative sales professional to serve as Regional Business Development Director – Southern U.S. This is a hunter-focused individual contributor role responsible for building and growing revenue across the western United States. The ideal candidate brings deep knowledge of the U.S. anatomic pathology market and has experience calling directly on hospital-based pathology groups, independent reference labs, physician office labs (POLs), and academic medical centers including pathologists, medical directors, lab administrators, and health system leadership. The successful candidate will understand pathology workflow, subspecialty coverage gaps, CPT billing structures (including professional component billing such as 88305-26), and the financial pressures facing pathology practices today. Joining us means shaping the Digital pathology  field, rather than watching from the sidelines.

• Familiarity with CPT coding and professional component billing (e.g., 88305-26).
• Experience selling services (not just capital equipment) with recurring revenue models.
• You know how to navigate to pathologists, medical directors, and lab directors, and you already have or can rapidly build a strong network.
