From the company's job description

JOIN THE FUTURE OF HEALTHCARE RECRUITMENT AT VIVIAN HEALTH

Vivian Health’s mission is to transform healthcare hiring by empowering every healthcare professional to find their perfect job faster and easier than ever before. As the largest healthcare jobs marketplace, we support over 2 million clinicians in finding their next career opportunities. Our AI-driven platform also enhances process efficiencies for staffing agencies and healthcare employers, significantly reducing time to hire.

Vivian Health is backed by world-class investors, including Thoma Bravo and People Inc., with over $75 million in capital raised. Our accolades include BuiltIn's awards for “Fully Remote Best Startup,” “Fully Remote Best Places to Work,” and “U.S. Best Startups to Work For” for the past 5 years.

ABOUT THE ROLE

Vivian Health is looking for an Account Executive to help build and scale our Direct Employer business, bringing Vivian’s talent marketplace and AI-powered hiring technology directly to healthcare employers across the U.S. As an early growth driver for this vertical, you will combine aggressive outbound prospecting, modern AI sales stacks, and high-level GTM strategy to build our direct-to-employer business.

This is a full-cycle, new-business sales role for a hands-on seller who is equally comfortable building the pipeline from scratch and closing complex deals. You’ll own your pipeline from the first account identified through signed contract, developing relationships with Talent Acquisition leaders, Chief People Officers, HR executives, and other senior stakeholders at hospitals, health systems, clinics, and long-term care organizations.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Top-of-Funnel Pipeline Generation: Design and execute multi-channel outbound strategy (email, LinkedIn, cold calling, modern outreach tools) to generate qualified enterprise and mid-market opportunities.

• Full-Cycle Deal Management: Prospect, qualify, run discovery, deliver compelling demos and business cases, navigate procurement and negotiation, and close new mid-market and enterprise customers.

• Tooling & AI Optimization: Leverage AI, automation, enrichment, and sales intelligence tools to research accounts, personalize outreach, streamline workflows, and increase the quality and efficiency of your selling activity.

• Cross-Functional Strategy: Partner closely with Product, Marketing, and Leadership to share customer feedback, competitive intelligence, objections, and emerging market needs that can sharpen our product and go-to-market strategy.

• Maintain a rigorous sales process: Keep pipeline data accurate, forecast thoughtfully, prioritize effectively, and use activity and conversion data to continuously improve your approach.

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

• 3+ years of experience in business development, outbound sales, or pipeline generation within a SaaS environment, with a strong track record of personally sourcing qualified opportunities through prospecting.

• Plus 1+ year of experience as an Account Executive managing a full-cycle SaaS sales role, owning opportunities from discovery through negotiation and close.

• Experience in a startup, growth-stage, or similarly fast-moving environment where you have operated with autonomy and helped build process rather than simply follow an established playbook.

• Fluency in modern sales technology and AI-enabled workflows. Our current stack includes Salesforce, Gong, Clay, ZoomInfo, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, Google Workspace, and AI-powered sales tools.

• Hands-on outbound capability. You have full ownership over account research, contact identification, personalized outreach, cold calling, and persistent multi-channel follow-up.

• Strong discovery, presentation, storytelling, and negotiation skills, with the ability to connect customer challenges to a clear business case.

Nice to Have

• Experience selling healthcare SaaS or technology solutions to hospitals, health systems, clinics, or other healthcare organizations

• Experience selling recruiting or HR technology, marketplace, or workforce solutions
