• Comfort selling complex, consultative deals — typical ACV $50K–$500K, 30–90 day sales cycle.
• Experience prospecting into health-tech companies, digital health, or AI-in-healthcare vendors (not just health systems or payers).

• Partner with the CEO and research lead to translate technical product capabilities into compelling commercial narratives.
• Negotiate and close data services contracts — including training data, benchmark datasets, and ongoing evaluation partnerships.
• Represent Cobalt at industry events, conferences, and investor-portfolio company networks (e.g., Alumni Ventures healthtech).
• Feed market intelligence back into product and positioning — your customer conversations will shape what we build.
