Account Manager

<p>Osteal Therapeutics is a Dallas-based, privately held biotechnology company redefining the standard of care for life-altering orthopedic infections.</p> <p>At the heart of our pipeline is NEXCHANGE™ KIT, a first-of-its-kind FDA-designated Breakthrough Therapy for periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) — a devastating condition that strikes 50,000 Americans each year. Once diagnosed, PJI patients face a dramatically diminished quality of life, the threat of amputation, and a five-year survival rate worse than that of melanoma. Today, they must navigate a grueling, month-long treatment journey with no FDA-approved therapy and uncertain outcomes.</p> <p>NEXCHANGE KIT fundamentally changes the patient journey by reducing the treatment time from months to just seven days. It replaces uncertainty with a defined protocol<span style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; text-decoration: underline;">,</span> enabled by the safe delivery of broad-spectrum antibiotics directly to the site of infection at sustained concentrations up to 1,000 times higher than standard systemic therapies. With NEXCHANGE KIT, Osteal is not simply launching a product. We are creating an entirely new therapeutic category.</p> <p>Powered by $137M in funding to date and a distinguished investor base that includes strategic partners Johnson & Johnson and Zimmer Biomet, we are advancing toward FDA approval and building the organization that will bring this therapy to patients in dire need.</p> <p>We are looking for bold, relentless professionals who thrive in a “builder” environment. If you are driven by the opportunity to do work that genuinely matters — to be part of a cohesive and capable team striving to deliver the first on-label PJI treatment that promises to transform outcomes for tens of thousands of patients — there has never been a better moment to join Osteal Therapeutics.</p> <p></p><p><br></p><b>Summary</b><div> <p>The Account Manager is a hospital-based sales role responsible for driving demand, influencing adoption, and owning territory results within an assigned geography during Osteal’s inaugural product launch.
