* Lead the full sales cycle from lead generation to close for target accounts.
* Navigate complex stakeholder maps to build champions and secure decision-maker sponsorship (Clinic Owner, Practice Manager, Operations, IT/EMR, Finance).
* Run tight proofs of value tied to clear success criteria and ROI (missed calls recovered, no-show reduction, booking conversion, staff hours saved).

* Feed Product and GTM with crisp customer insights and win/loss data.

What you will need
* 2+ years closing SaaS deals with consistent quota attainment.
* Experience selling into healthcare or a clear passion to master the space (Canadian healthcare context is a plus).
* Command of challenger-style, value-led selling; comfort with frameworks like MEDDPICC / Command of the Message.

* Startup mindset—self-directed, comfortable with ambiguity, and hungry to outperform.

What success looks like (first 90 days)
* Build a target account list and outbound engine for your segment; demonstrate repeatable messaging.
* Close your first set of discovery-to-pilot deals with clean success criteria.
* Turn at least one pilot into an expansion path with clear champions and exec alignment.

Nice to have
