Account Manager- West/Central (Multiple Markets)

Osteal Therapeutics is a Dallas-based, privately held biotechnology company redefining the standard of care for life-altering orthopedic infections. 

Osteal is hiring to launch NEXCHANGE™ KIT, a first-of-its-kind FDA Breakthrough Therapy for periprosthetic joint infection (PJI), a critical condition impacting 50,000 Americans annually. PJI currently lacks FDA-approved therapies and forces patients through grueling, months-long treatments with poor outcomes. Our disruptive technology transforms this journey by safely delivering high-concentration, broad-spectrum antibiotics directly to the infection site; reducing the treatment timeline from months to just seven days. 

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. 

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.
