Job Summary
The Vice President, Sales is a senior commercial leader responsible for delivering predictable, profitable new business growth across an assigned market, geography, or portfolio of healthcare support services.
This leader develops and executes the sales strategy, translates enterprise growth objectives into actionable territory and account plans, and leads a team of sales leaders and individual contributors operating in a complex, highly competitive healthcare market. The Vice President provides executive sponsorship for the most significant pursuits and ensures disciplined execution throughout the sales cycle—from target identification and qualification through solution development, proposal, presentation, negotiation, contracting, and transition.
The Vice President works closely with divisional presidents, operational leadership, Finance, Legal, Marketing, Sales Operations, proposal development, subject-matter experts, and implementation teams to create differentiated solutions that are operationally executable, financially sound, and aligned with client priorities.
Success in this role is measured by the team’s ability to exceed new business revenue and profitability commitments, build a strong and sustainable pipeline, improve forecast accuracy, increase win rates, accelerate deal velocity, expand average contract value, and develop a high-performing sales organization.
Key Responsibilities:
Enterprise Sales Strategy and Growth:
Develop and execute an annual and multi-year sales strategy aligned with Compass Healthcare’s growth, profitability, and market-position objectives.
Translate enterprise goals into clearly defined market priorities, target-account strategies, territory plans, seller quotas, pipeline expectations, and resource requirements.
Identify and prioritize high-value opportunities across hospitals, health systems, ambulatory environments, and other approved healthcare segments.
Evaluate market potential, competitive intensity, client readiness, buying dynamics, and Compass One’s ability to deliver measurable value before committing resources to an opportunity.
Identify opportunities for net-new incumbent conversion, multi-service solutions, and strategic service-line expansion.
Adjust sales strategies based on market developments, customer insights, competitor activity, regulatory changes, and emerging healthcare trends.
Build a balanced portfolio of near-term opportunities and longer-term strategic pursuits supporting current-year performance and future growth.
Sales Team Leadership and Talent Development
Lead, coach, mentor, and develop an assigned team of sales leaders and quota-carrying sales professionals.
Establish clear performance expectations, decision rights, accountability, and standards of execution for every member within his or her oversight.
Build seller capability in consultative selling, executive engagement, financial acumen, opportunity qualification, negotiation, presentation, and closing.
Recruit, assess, develop, and retain high-performing sales talent capable of navigating complex healthcare buying environments.
Evaluate organizational structure, seller deployment, territory design, and role clarity; recommend changes that strengthen productivity and support future growth.
Develop succession plans and leadership pipelines for critical sales roles.
Create a culture of accountability, collaboration, continuous learning, customer focus, and shared success.
Model an accessible leadership style that removes barriers, develops people, encourages constructive challenge, and holds the organization accountable for results.
Recognize strong performance while addressing performance gaps directly, consistently, and promptly.
Pipeline, Forecasting, and Performance Management
Establish and lead a disciplined sales-management operating rhythm, including pipeline reviews, forecast calls, territory reviews, strategic pursuit reviews, and performance discussions.
Maintain sufficient qualified pipeline coverage to support annual and multi-year new business commitments.
Define and consistently apply opportunity stages, qualification standards, probability assessments, next-step requirements, and close-date criteria.
Ensure timely and accurate CRM adoption across the team, including account activity, stakeholder mapping, opportunity value, sales stage, competitive position, risks, and next actions.

Personally support sellers in identifying, qualifying, developing, and advancing priority pursuits.
Ensure every major pursuit has a clear client problem statement, stakeholder map, access strategy, competitive assessment, differentiated value proposition, win strategy, and action plan.
Help sellers establish relationships with healthcare executives, clinical leaders, operating leaders, financial decision-makers, procurement teams, and other influential stakeholders.
Lead or participate in key executive meetings, finalist presentations, negotiations, and strategic client discussions.
Guide the development of client-specific solutions that address the prospect’s clinical, operational, workforce, financial, patient-experience, and community priorities.

Client and Market Leadership
Build and maintain trusted relationships with C-suite executives and other senior decision-makers across hospitals, health systems, and healthcare organizations.

Clarify ownership, deliverables, deadlines, and decision rights across the pursuit team.
Maintain open and timely communication with all internal stakeholders supporting the sales process.
Resolve cross-functional barriers and escalate material risks before they affect the client relationship or pursuit outcome.
Ensure a structured handoff from sales to operations and implementation teams following contract award.
Promote a “win together and learn together” culture in which successes and losses are analyzed constructively and shared across the organization.
Sales Excellence and Continuous Improvement
Strengthen and standardize sales methodologies, account planning, opportunity qualification, deal review, executive engagement, and forecasting practices.
Partner with Compass corporate resource team members to assess capability gaps and develop relevant training, tools, playbooks, and coaching programs.
Establish consistent expectations for proposal development, presentation preparation, negotiation planning, and post-pursuit analysis.
Lead win-loss reviews and convert findings into practical improvements in strategy, messaging, solution design, resource deployment, and execution.
Identify and scale successful practices across territories, sectors, and service lines.
Encourage innovation while maintaining disciplined adherence to approved sales, financial, legal, and operational processes.
