Position Summary

The Clinical Business Executive is responsible for driving new business growth and expanding market presence for Genova Diagnostics within an assigned territory.  This role blends proactive business development with strategic management of an annual upsell book of business, using a hybrid engagement model that combines in-person field activity with remote selling and account development based on account size, growth potential, geography, and customer needs. The successful candidate will prospect, close, onboard, and expand new accounts while partnering cross-functionally to ensure a strong customer experience and long-term revenue growth.

• Maintain and grow an annual book of upsell business by identifying expansion opportunities within existing and newly won accounts.


• Serve as a subject matter expert on Genova Diagnostics testing solutions, clinical applications, and value proposition for both customers and prospects.


• Develop customer relationships through a hybrid coverage model that includes in-person field visits for larger, strategic, or high-potential accounts and remote engagement for smaller, emerging, or geographically dispersed accounts based on customer needs.


• Conduct regular outreach through face-to-face meetings, video calls, phone calls, webinars, and email follow-up to advance opportunities and maintain strong account engagement.


• Act as a liaison between the client and internal Genova teams, collaborating with commercial, operational, customer support, and educational resources to support growth and implementation.

Hybrid Coverage Approach

This role uses a hybrid commercial model that aligns engagement strategy to account value and customer need. High-value, complex, or strategically important prospects and customers should receive more in-person field engagement, while smaller, lower-frequency, or geographically distant accounts may be managed with a higher mix of remote outreach and virtual follow-up. The Clinical Account Executive is expected to deploy time and resources intentionally, balancing field selling with scalable remote activity to optimize reach, conversion, and territory economics.
