Full Job Description
Outcomes
  • Close the first contracts: Personally sign our first customers within 12 months, a mix of paid pilots and six- and seven-figure contracts, including at least one flagship account that expands.
  • Convert VIP introductions into contracts: Take CEO-level introductions from founders and advisors and personally run them to signature without hand-holding.
  • Determine where we win: Within 12 months, establish from real deal evidence which channels convert, at what price, and on what sales cycle.
  • Build the repeatable motion: Maintain an honest pipeline with real forecasts, and document the playbook (targeting, pitch, pricing, proposal, close) so the reps you later hire can run it.
Competencies
  • Proven Digital Health Hunter: 10+ years personally sourcing and closing six- and seven-figure deals, selling digital health or benefits products into employers. You generate your own pipeline; you are not a sales ops person or an account manager.
  • Deal-Risk Savvy: You know where these deals die (security review, legal, clinical scrutiny, budget cycles) and you address those risks early.
  • Comfortable at Altitude: Credible and composed with Fortune 500 CEOs, celebrity founders, and billionaire investors, and you convert those rooms into next steps and contracts.
  • Strategic and Operational on the Same Day: You can pressure-test pricing and channel strategy in the morning and send thirty researched outreach emails in the afternoon.
  • Autonomous and Disciplined: You operate at high velocity in ambiguity with zero hand-holding, and your pipeline stages, forecasts, and follow-ups are always real.
  • Team Builder: You have hired and managed sellers and can build the team once the motion is proven. A path to revenue leadership exists if you earn it, but you are hired to sell.
  • Genuine Conviction: You care about mental health and it shows. Buyers can sense whether it is real.
Great to have
  • Sold into, against, or through EAPs; relationships with benefits consultants and brokers.
  • Breadth beyond employers: providers, health systems, payers, or distribution partnerships.
  • Sold clinical or evidence-based products where outcomes data is part of the sale.
  • First sales hire at an early-stage startup.
  • Personal connection to therapy, coaching, or mental health.
Logistics
  • San Francisco, hybrid (Tue-Thu in office). Not remote. Full-time.
  • Reports to the CEO.
