Senior Lab Sales / Client Acquisition Manager (Dermatopathology & Pathology Outreach)
Posted 2026-05-05Company Overview
We are a rapidly growing, multi-state healthcare platform operating under an MSO-PC model, supporting scalable clinical and diagnostic service lines across the USA.
Our dermatopathology laboratory is a core component of this platform, delivering high-quality diagnostic services to dermatology, primary care, and specialty providers nationwide.

We are actively expanding our national outreach footprint and are seeking a high-agency operator to build and scale referral relationships across assigned territories.

Who This Role Is For
- This role is designed for individuals who:
- Prefer building over maintaining
- Are comfortable operating without a predefined playbook
- Can create opportunities rather than wait for them
- Take ownership of outcomes, not just activity
- Who Will Struggle
- Candidates who require structured inbound leads
- Candidates who primarily manage existing accounts
- Individuals uncomfortable with rejection, ambiguity, or field-driven work
This is a high-autonomy, performance-driven role within a growing national platform. Success in this position is directly tied to your ability to build relationships, create pipeline, and execute consistently over time.
If you are looking for a structured, low-variability role, this job will not be a fit.
If you are motivated by ownership, growth, and upside, we encourage you to apply.

- Application Question(s):
- You are assigned a new territory with no existing relationships. Walk through your first 30 days in detail. Include how you identify targets, prioritize them, and generate initial meetings.
- Describe a deal or account you pursued for more than 3 months. What obstacles did you face, and how did you ultimately close it (or why didn’t you)?
- What revenue or production metrics were you directly responsible for in your last role? What were your targets, and how did you perform?
- How do you structure a typical week to ensure consistent pipeline growth without direct supervision?
- You are given a territory with both urban dermatology groups and rural primary care clinics performing biopsies. How would you prioritize your outreach and why?
