Regional Sales Director, Mid-Atlantic Region

The Opportunity

The Regional Sales Director is a first-line commercial leader responsible for building, leading, and developing a high-performing field team focused on post-bariatric hypoglycemia (PBH).

Regional Sales Directors will work closely with their teams to advance PBH disease-state education and deepen understanding of the diagnosis and referral journey.

This leader will execute national strategy into a focused regional plan and establish clear priorities. Success requires strong clinical and business acumen, disciplined execution, and the ability to navigate the complex diagnosis, referral, treatment, reimbursement, and patient-support pathways associated with a rare metabolic condition.

• Establish a disciplined operating rhythm that includes field coaching, business reviews, performance tracking, opportunity planning, and timely course correction to ensure performance objectives are met or exceeded.
• Use CRM data, market intelligence, account insights, referral-network dynamics, and leading indicators to identify opportunities and risks, prioritize resources, and improve regional performance.
• Spend substantial time in the field observing customer engagement and providing timely, behavior-based coaching on clinical dialogue, pre-call planning, account strategy, reimbursement, patient-support resources, and execution excellence.
• Set clear performance expectations, recognize strong performance, and address capability or execution gaps through direct feedback, documented development actions, and appropriate performance management.
• Develop productive relationships with priority health systems, bariatric programs, endocrinology and metabolic care teams, key experts, and other stakeholders involved in PBH diagnosis, referral, treatment, access, and patient support.
• Manage the regional budget and other company resources responsibly, ensuring regional investments align with strategic priorities and company policies.
• Model Amylyx values and maintain the highest standards of ethics, compliance, accountability, inclusion, and respect for patients and caregivers.

Requirements

• 10+ years of progressive pharmaceutical or biotechnology commercial experience, including at least 3 years of successful field sales leadership and people management; equivalent combinations of education and experience will be considered.
• Demonstrated success in rare disease, endocrinology, metabolic disease, or another specialty market involving complex diagnosis, referral, treatment, reimbursement, and patient-support pathways.
• Proven record of recruiting and developing talent, leading through change, setting high standards, and delivering results through others in a compliant manner.
• Ability to translate enterprise and brand priorities into clear regional and territory plans, measurable objectives, and consistent field execution.
• Strong business and analytical acumen, including experience using CRM, market, account, and performance data for opportunity assessment, resource allocation, and decision-making.
• Track record of effective matrix leadership with Marketing, Medical Affairs, Market Access, Patient Services, Commercial Operations, Training, and Compliance partners.
• Excellent communication, coaching, influencing, and relationship-management skills, with the judgment and adaptability to operate in an evolving pre-launch and launch environment.
• Valid driver’s license and ability to meet the travel requirements of the role.

Preferred Qualifications
