Why Weave Exists At Weave, our mission is to evolve how therapeutic knowledge is captured, transformed, and communicated throughout drug development. We do this by equipping human experts with AI instruments to enable drugs to be brought to patients as rapidly, safely, and inexpensively as possible. The Weave Platform streamlines regulatory workflows from start to finish by intelligently, creatively, and effectively infusing every step with AI. Together with our customers, Weave is designing and building the AI workbench for the entire therapeutic lifecycle. The Role Your Mission We are seeking a Director of Sales, reporting to our Vice President of Sales. In this role, you will lead and develop a team of mid-market Account Executives, each owning a regional territory of mid-market Biotechnology, Pharmaceutical, and CRO accounts. Your mission is to lead a world-class sales team: one defined by inspiration, insightful coaching, rigorous deal discipline using MEDDIC, internal collaboration and a deep understanding of how life sciences companies buy and adopt transformative technology. You will partner closely with Marketing, Product, and Customer Success to sharpen our go-to-market motion, and ensure our Account Executives are equipped to run a consistent, high-quality sales motion. As a commercial leader, you will also play a key role in scaling the team including sourcing, interviewing, and developing the next generation of sales talent at Weave. Travel is expected 60-70% of the time within the territory meeting customers with Account Executives.
