"Eight years ago, Castor landed its first paying customer. Fast forward to today, and we've raised a $45million Series B and are taking the life sciences space by storm. Our core values and focus on the team, product, and customer service have enabled us to grow across continents and segments." - Derk Arts, MD Ph.D., CEO @ Castor.

Who is Castor?

Castor is a leading cloud-based clinical data platform working with some of the world's largest pharmaceutical companies, medical device companies, biopharmas, and renowned academic institutes.

We simplify the clinical trial process, from recruitment to analysis, with user-friendly, patient-centric technology. Our mission is to bring medical research into the digital age. Why? Because medical research is still largely run using free-text, paper, and legacy technology.

The Role

Your opportunity: 'land and expand' commercial sponsor and CRO accounts

At Castor, we have built a brand in the eClinical space that's universally loved and highly rated (with a +50 NPS). With our recent $45million Series B, we will invest in continuous product development, interoperability, and collecting real-world evidence from decentralized trials. You will share in our success by unlocking Castor's commercial potential, developing and leading new account growth in the mid-market and small enterprise segments.

How will you be set for success at Castor?

In the last 12 months, Castor realized 383% commercial growth, with more than 400 recurring paying customers. Joining our Sales team, we are creating the opportunity for you to share in our success. Our international sales team hit 97% of their target for the last three quarters running with realistic quotas and uncapped commissions! What's more, we invest in your training and enablement with a purpose-built sales development program. Designed by an in-house team of experts, this combination of training and mentor sessions means you are ramped up to independently prospect, conduct qualification and discovery sessions, and present product demos after 30 days.

  • A proven ability to develop clear and tailored proposals for commercial accounts
  • A consultative approach to selling software solutions or services, managing full sales cycles
  • A proactive approach to targets and confident communication skills to develop and close deals
  • The drive, self-awareness, and flexibility to work in and contribute to a high-energy startup
