🎯 The Role: Founding GTM
We are looking for our first GTM hire to spearhead our entry into hospitals and large-scale health systems.
This is a standard corporate sales job with a pre-defined playbook and a steady lead flow. Actually, it's the opposite. You will be building the enterprise sales motion from scratch.

Key Objectives:
- Execute the Full Cycle: Manage everything from the first touch to the final signature.

- Feedback Loop: Translate market insights into actionable product requirements.
- Infrastructure Building: Create the tools and processes that future sales hires will use.
👤 Who You Are
We need a high-agency individual who thrives in the "zero-to-one" phase.
Required Qualifications:
- Experience: years in a closing role (Sales, BD, or Growth).
- Communication: Naturally outgoing with a high degree of social intelligence (the ability to read a room and pivot).
- Technical Curiosity: You don't need to be a software engineer, but you must be comfortable with AI and technical concepts.
- Mindset: Extreme ownership. You are comfortable operating without a manual.
- Execution: Meticulous attention to detail and relentless follow-through.
Bonus Points:
- Previous tenure at an early-stage startup.
