About the Role
The Sales Manager is a senior-level, quota-carrying individual contributor responsible for
owning a defined territory and closing new business with Federally Qualified Health
Centers (FQHCs), Tribal Health Organizations, and Free & Charitable Clinics. This role
requires mastery of complex, multi-stakeholder sales cycles, a deep understanding of the
safety-net healthcare ecosystem, and consistent delivery of new ARR in alignment with
organizational goals.
You will manage the full sales cycle independently—from outbound sourcing to close—
including identifying and qualifying your own opportunities, leading discovery and demo
conversations, and driving proposals through contract execution. As CareMessage does not
currently have BDR support, this role is ideal for a self-motivated seller who thrives in lean,
high-ownership environments and is energized by building and advancing pipeline through
disciplined outreach.
The Sales Manager is expected to execute with autonomy, represent CareMessage
externally with professionalism and clarity, and contribute to go-to-market strategy
through structured insights from the field. At this level, team members demonstrate
operational rigor, consistent execution, and deep ownership of pipeline health, buyer
relationships, and strategic territory development.

- Provide weekly forecasting with supporting commentary, pacing analysis, and risk mitigation plans
- Self-diagnose gaps in pipeline coverage, lead quality, or velocity and take ownership of course correction
- Use sales dashboards to inform prioritization, and report progress in team meetings and QBRs
Operational Rigor & Internal Accountability
- Adhere to CareMessage’s sales methodology, including mutual action plans, written success plans, and documented buyer goals
- Submit consistent activity logs, pricing proposals, and updates on opportunity progress, including effective outcomes-oriented sales handovers
