Reports to: Regional Sales Director with a dotted-line to an overseeing CSM/Sr. CSM

 

Location: Greater Dallas-Fort Worth area, with knowledge and experience in the greater metropolitan area health systems.

 

Primary Responsibilities

Book and Territory Ownership

• Own a defined book of business within approximately a 3-hour drivable radius; build and execute a localized account plan that segments targets by opportunity size and readiness.

• Maintain an active Salesforce pipeline tied to adoption milestones; use data and tools (e.g., DHC) to prioritize field activity and time allocation.

Lead Generation

• Generate leads and secure or facilitate first meetings for the book of business owned by the overseeing CSM.

• Route and brief appointments so the CSM can convert; coordinate at the regional level to ensure field effort complements rather than duplicates ISR and CSM activity.

 

New Account Creation & Onboarding

• Design and execute localized prospecting to identify and qualify high-potential targets within the territory radius.

• Secure first meetings and introductory conversations; onboard net-new accounts and lead them through the first order — net-new creation is shared with the ISR team by design.

 

Account Activation & Reorder Growth

• Convert first orders into routine, sustained ordering; drive reorder behavior and habit formation across newly active accounts.

• Expand the number of ordering providers within each account; systematically identify and remove ordering friction — including workflow, result delivery, and follow-up barriers.

 

Relationship Building & Account Networking

• Cultivate relationships with lab directors, infectious disease physicians, pharmacists, and ordering clinicians at the frontline and lab tier.

• Lead consultative, evidence-based conversations that connect Karius Spectrum and Focus BAL to the account's clinical context; identify and develop internal champions to advance adoption.

 

Field Partnership & Handoffs

• Accept the ISR handoff at the meeting-to-usage transition; partner with the MSL on clinical education in a support capacity.

• As onboarded accounts reach sustained-active status (≥12 tests/quarter), graduate them to the overseeing CSM or carry them into an earned territory upon promotion.

 

Goal Attainment & Field Discipline

• Align personal performance to regional team goals; hold self accountable for activity, pipeline, and activation commitments.

• Document all customer interactions in Salesforce; proactively share field intelligence and market insights with ISR, CSM, and regional leadership.
