This position is responsible for managing and selling the full suite of payment integrity solutions to strategic, high-value accounts. While candidates may reside anywhere in the United States, preference is given to those based in the Northeast due to frequent travel (up to 60%) required to Central and Northeast regions.

• Represent Optum at industry conferences and build relationships with key contacts
• Travel frequently (50%+), with a preference for candidates based in Central/Northeast
• Leverage AI tools and, ideally, have experience in provider health system sales
• Focus on expanding business within established accounts rather than cold calling

You'll be rewarded and recognized for your performance in an environment that will challenge you and give you clear direction on what it takes to succeed in your role as well as provide development for other roles you may be interested in.

Required Qualifications:

• 8+ years selling to payer clients, with a proven track record of achieving multi-million-dollar sales quotas
