Job Description
About OpenClinica:
OpenClinica enables organizations to recruit participants and conduct clinical studies through connected solutions that simplify operations and accelerate discovery. Our platform brings together EDC, eConsent, eCOA/ePRO, randomization, analytics, and patient recruitment in a practical solution built for small to mid-size sponsors, CROs, and academic teams. We are building a more repeatable commercial engine across our eClinical and Recruit businesses, with a new lightweight EDC offering also emerging as a growth lever.
About the Role:
The Senior Sales Engineer will strengthen the technical and workflow side of our commercial motion. This is a senior individual contributor role with broad responsibility across technical discovery, demos, solution fit, and pre-sales support. This role partners closely with Account Executives and the Chief Commercial Officer to lead the technical aspects of discovery, shape solution fit, deliver compelling demos, support RFPs, and help customers understand where OpenClinica is the right fit and why. The role is primarily focused on our eClinical platform today, but also helps to tell a connected story across adjacent modules and integrations as that story evolves.
