About Aquestive Therapeutics

With more than 20 years of pioneering patient-centered innovation, we've transformed how millions access life-saving medications. Our track record speaks for itself : 6 FDA approvals, 2.5 billion doses delivered worldwide, and a presence across 6 continents. As we prepare to launch Anaphylm™, our latest breakthrough in overcoming patient barriers, we're building a sales team that shares our commitment to innovation that matters.

The Role

As a Regional Sales Manager, you'll be the architect of launch success in your region, building a team that doesn't just hit numbers, but changes patient outcomes. You'll recruit talent, develop future leaders, and translate corporate strategy into territory-level wins. This isn't management from a distance; you'll be in the field coaching your territory representatives through complex sales cycles, celebrating breakthrough moments, and holding the line on performance and integrity.

Key Responsibilities

  • Build & Lead a High-Performing Team
  • Recruit exceptional Therapeutic Specialty Representatives who combine sales excellence with mission alignment.
  • Develop your team through consistent field coaching, structured feedback, and individualized development plans.
  • Create a culture of accountability and growth where representatives take ownership of their territories and support each other's success.
  • Foster diversity, equity, and inclusion across your region—ensuring every team member has the support and opportunities to thrive.
  • Identify and cultivate future leaders within your team.

Drive Strategic Execution

  • Partner with VP of Sales and peer RSMs to shape national sales strategy, leveraging field-level insights to inform direction.
  • Translate corporate objectives into regional business plans that account for local market dynamics, competitive landscapes, and payer environments.
  • Establish clear performance metrics and tracking mechanisms that connect daily activities to launch milestones.
  • Analyze territory performance data to identify gaps, opportunities, and best practices worth scaling.
  • Coach for Impact

  • Conduct frequent field rides that balance observation, real-time coaching, and collaborative problem-solving.
  • Help representatives master the consultative selling approach required for Anaphylm's value proposition.
  • Guide your team through objection handling, particularly around payer access and product differentiation.
  • Connect daily sales activities to the broader mission—helping representatives see how their work removes barriers for patients who need an effective, easy-to-carry, easy-to-use epinephrine rescue medication.
  • Navigate Market Access Complexity

  • Develop fluency in regional payer landscapes—national plans, regional formularies, and local coverage nuances.
  • Translate payer insights into actionable pull-through strategies for your team.
  • Collaborate with Market Access and Hub Services to resolve coverage barriers and accelerate patient starts.
  • Track and share market access wins, barrier patterns, and successful resolution strategies.
  • Foster Cross-Functional Alignment

  • Partner with Marketing, Medical Affairs, Training, and Market Access to ensure consistent brand execution.
  • Serve as the voice of the field—sharing customer insights, competitive intelligence, and execution challenges that inform broader strategy.
  • Facilitate regional collaboration with specialty pharmacy partners and patient services teams.
  • Represent your region in national sales meetings, strategy sessions, and launch planning forums.
  • Ensure Operational Excellence

  • Drive CRM discipline across your team—ensuring high-quality documentation of calls, payer feedback, and sampling activity.
  • Monitor compliance with all regulatory requirements including PDMA, AE / product complaint reporting, and promotional guidelines.
  • Conduct regular territory business reviews that assess performance, identify improvement areas, and align on priorities.
  • Manage regional budget and resources efficiently to maximize ROI.
  • Qualifications

    Required :

  • Bachelor's degree
  • Minimum 5 years leading pharmaceutical or specialty sales teams (front-line management experience required)
  • Proven success leading teams through product launches—ideally in specialty, allergy, or related therapeutic areas
  • Deep understanding of sales strategy, market access dynamics, and HCP engagement models
  • Track record of developing talent and improving team performance through effective coaching
  • Strong analytical skills with ability to translate data into strategic action
  • Willingness to travel 60 – 75%, including overnight stays for field rides, customer events, and company meetings
  • Preferred :

  • Experience in rescue medication, allergy, or products addressing medication adherence / administration barriers
  • Background in specialty pharmacy or hub services operations
  • Previous management of geographically dispersed team
  • Who Thrives Here

  • Mission-Driven Leaders who measure success not just by quota attainment, but by the patient lives improved through your team's work.
  • Launch Veterans who have built markets from scratch.
  • Talent Developers who get genuine satisfaction from watching team members grow, earn promotions, and achieve things they didn't think possible.
  • Strategic Executor who thinks big picture but obsesses over execution details.
  • Emotionally Intelligent Coaches who read people well, adapt coaching styles to individual needs, and build trust through authenticity and consistency.
  • Collaborative Partners who break down silos naturally. Marketing, Medical, Access—you speak their language and align with them around common goals.
  • Resilient Competitors who can navigate challenges, maintain team morale during setbacks, and find paths forward.
