Strategic Account Executive
Description
Position Overview
PAR is seeking a Strategic Account Executive to drive new business development across healthcare verticals in the Eastern United States. This is a hybrid role — you will be responsible for identifying, qualifying, and closing new accounts with organizations that rely on psychological assessments for clinical decision-making, patient screening, and treatment planning – as well as working the Outgrow system to expand existing business and accounts
Healthcare represents $1.2M of PAR's 2026 revenue target. The Eastern US has a concentration of substance abuse treatment centers, PE-backed behavioral health groups, and multi-clinician practices — all segments where PAR's assessments are proven and differentiated.
You will work closely with our Subject Matter Experts, Customer Service , and Customer Success teams to bring clinical expertise and technical depth to every opportunity.

1. Substance Abuse Treatment Centers
Market Size: $143B | 17,561 facilities nationwide
What You Need to Know:
- Accreditation requirements drive assessment adoption — CARF, Joint Commission, and state licensure all require standardized screening for trauma history, co-occurring disorders, and risk assessment

- Eastern US concentration: FL, NY, PA, and NJ have high densities of treatment facilities

2. Inpatient Psychiatrics
Market Size: $195B | Hospital-based and freestanding psychiatric facilities
