• Drive outbound sales activity and develop strategic prospecting approaches across target accounts.

• Strong outbound prospecting capability and pipeline generation experience.
• Builder mentality with a willingness to iterate, experiment, and help shape the sales function.
• Comfortable operating in fast-moving, ambiguous environments with high ownership.
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills, particularly with executive buyers.

Ideal Background

• Founding AE or early commercial hire experience.
• Experience selling into healthcare providers, healthcare operators, or PE-backed healthcare groups.
• Track record of exceeding quota in high-growth startup environments.
• Experience working closely with founders and GTM leadership teams.
