The Role

Ready to transform healthcare with powerful data, trusted insights, and real-world results? At Truven, we're not just working with healthcare data—we're transforming how health plans use it to improve lives. We're seeking an Enterprise Account Executive to drive new logo growth in our health plan market. This is not a typical sales role — it requires deep health plan expertise, enterprise-level deal leadership, and the ability to shape how the broader organization approaches this market.

In this role, you'll own complex, high-value pursuits with health plan organizations, serve as the organization's subject matter expert on health plan buyer dynamics, and contribute insights that influence go-to-market strategy, product positioning, and competitive messaging beyond your own pipeline. You'll build formal industry networks, mentor less experienced sellers, and bring thought leadership that elevates the entire sales function.

If you're excited about meaningful work, energized by big challenges, and comfortable rolling up your sleeves with a team that values rigor, integrity, and impact—we'd love to hear from you.

Build and maintain a formal network of industry relationships — including health plan executives, industry analysts, and conference communities — that generates market intelligence and pipeline opportunities for the organization

Establish and maintain C-level and senior stakeholder relationships, positioning Truven as a trusted strategic partner and driving engagement across multiple decision-makers and influencers

Collaborate cross-functionally with marketing, solution consulting, delivery, legal, and executive leadership to craft compelling value propositions, structure large multi-solution opportunities, and ensure seamless handoff from new logo acquisition to client success

Bring market intelligence and competitive insight back to the business that shapes how the broader organization approaches the health plan market — including positioning, packaging, and roadmap input

Mentor and informally guide less experienced sellers on complex deal strategy, health plan market navigation, executive engagement approaches, and enterprise selling best practices

Stay ahead of emerging trends in the health plan market to shape proactive outreach strategies and position our offerings competitively

Accountable for a significant share of the health plan segment's new logo bookings target, with results that directly impact segment-level revenue performance

What you will bring

​12+ years of progressive experience in B2B enterprise sales or business development, with deep specialization in health plan or payer environments
