VP of Sales

Location: NYC (in office 4 days per week)

Compensation: $300-400K OTE + Equity
About the role

We're hiring a VP of Sales to build and lead the sales function at Passage Health enabling us to go from $10M to $30M ARR. This is a highly visible role that will work directly with our CEO to define and execute our go-to-market strategy and own how we grow revenue as we scale.

This role blends sales leadership with active involvement in our most important opportunities. You'll own our sales motion end to end - pipeline, process, forecasting, and team - while staying close enough to deals to coach reps, sharpen our pitch, and improve how we win business. As we move up-market, you'll define how we sell, who we sell to, and how we consistently displace the legacy systems our prospects have outgrown. You'll also help identify new markets and segments where Passage can expand its reach and win.

Early on, you'll be in the deals: refining the pitch, coaching the team through complex opportunities, and helping Account Executives close business. Over time, you'll shape what the sales organization becomes - including the structure, hiring, and development needed to support continued growth.

This is an ideal role for someone who's thrived in early-stage B2B SaaS, enjoys building a repeatable sales engine from the ground up, and wants real ownership over both strategy and execution. What matters most is sales instinct, judgment, and range - comfortable developing people, building the playbook, and evolving the team and process needed to grow revenue at scale.
What You'll Do

• Help define the future structure of the sales team and hire, onboard, and develop reps over time.
• Stay close to the most important deals, providing coaching and support that improves win rates and helps the team close business.

• Lead our strategy for winning against legacy incumbents and equip the team with the messaging and tools to make switching compelling.

Sales Motion & Execution

• Build the repeatable sales motion - playbooks, onboarding, and enablement that help reps ramp and deals move faster.

• Turn positioning into sales-ready materials: pitch decks, one-pagers, proof points, and competitive plays.
• Coach Account Executives through strategic opportunities and complex deals.
• Test, measure, and optimize the sales approach based on what's actually winning.
