Role Description

Pirche is seeking an experienced and highly motivated sales professional to join our growing commercial team. The Transplant Regional Account Manager will promote TxPredictor™ to transplant centers, HLA laboratories, clinicians, and other key stakeholders throughout the assigned territory. This role will drive revenue growth, market development, and adoption by building strong clinical relationships, executing strategic territory plans, and expanding the use of molecular HLA compatibility and immunologic risk assessment in clinical practice.
