New Business & Growth | North America | Reports to SVP of Sales, Life Sciences
The world of work hasn't changed gradually. It's changed fundamentally. Enterprises no longer want a headcount number or a rate card — they want an outcome, delivered with speed, governed with confidence, and built to get better every time. Vertage exists to be the platform that makes that possible: one engine that curates the right mix of specialist talent and AI to deliver the work our customers actually need.
As a Principal Account Executive in our Life Sciences vertical, you're the person who brings new enterprise customers onto that platform — and then grows them into partners who see Vertage as the advantage that compounds, deal after deal, year after year.
This is a new-business and growth role inside our Life Sciences vertical, built for someone who already knows how to win in specialist Life Sciences staffing and wants to build something bigger with it. You'll bring new customers into the Vertage portfolio and grow them across our full suite of services — contract, direct hire, and Statement of Work delivery — accelerating our momentum across North America and laying the groundwork for what comes next.

We make and keep our promises, treat people with respect, and take the safety and integrity of our colleagues, our customers, and our talent seriously in everything we do.
For more than 50 years, our businesses have helped organizations find the right workforce solution and the right talent at the right time. Now we're bringing that expertise together on one platform — built once, available everywhere, instantly. If you want to help enterprises move from planning around headcount to planning around outcomes, this is where that work happens.
