  • Existing leverageable network of decision-makers and influencers at health tech life sciences med device or large tech companies building in healthcare (Meta Google Oracle IBM etc) and the ability to walk into live opportunities quickly.
  • Lone wolf or challenger-style hunter : bias to action comfortable with ambiguity thrives in early-stage environments with minimal marketing support and uses creativity to generate pipeline.
  • Demonstrated ability to sell complex multi-part offerings (software plus services marketplaces or talent platforms) and to context-switch between tactical deal work and strategic C-level conversations.
  • Startup-ready : experience in small pivot-prone companies; resilient experimental mindset; comfortable with try / fail / iterate cycles and high visibility of individual performance.
  • Day-to-day activities and KPIs

  • Variable : aggressive uncapped commission plan designed to reward outsized performance with realistic OTE in the high 200s to 300K at plan.
  • Compensation structure to heavily emphasize closed revenue and net-new logos; meaningful upside for those who materially exceed the 1.5 M target and build million-dollar accounts.
  • Growth path and collaboration

  • Initially an IC role with no immediate requirement to build or manage a team but with the expectation that exceptional performance will justify hiring and leading a small high-performing commercial team over time.
  • Close partnership with the founder / CEO COO and precision recruiting team to refine packaging messaging and ideal customer profiles as the platform and AHA collaboration scale.
  • Opportunity to evolve into a broader commercial leadership role (e.g. CCO) as the company raises additional capital and scales go-to-market.
