Founding Account Executive
Fitt Talent Partners is a specialized recruitment firm for top health and wellness companies.
We’re filling this role for a client, a fast-growing healthtech startup building an AI-driven platform that helps forward-thinking clinicians streamline operations, deliver better care, and redefine the future of personalized medicine.
Job Description
We’re looking for a Founding Account Executive to help define and scale the go-to-market motion for an early-stage, AI-powered healthcare platform transforming how independent clinicians run and grow their practices. This is a highly entrepreneurial role for a consultative seller who thrives in ambiguity and wants to build a sales function from the ground up.
Reporting directly to the CEO, you will own the full sales cycle — from initial discovery through close and early expansion — while helping shape messaging, pricing strategy, and repeatable sales processes. This role requires deep partnership with clinicians, product, and leadership teams to translate real-world insights into scalable growth.

Collaborate closely with product and design to share market insights and inform roadmap decisions.
Help define tooling, metrics, and systems that scale with the business.
Founding-Level Ownership
Shape sales culture and set the standard for how the company sells.
Balance structured execution with flexibility for complex or enterprise-leaning deals.
Support hiring and mentorship of future sales team members as the function grows.
What You Bring

You thrive in zero-to-one environments where you help write the playbook.
You move quickly, learn from feedback, and push deals forward decisively.
You communicate clearly across technical, clinical, and executive audiences.
You’re energized by improving healthcare and supporting mission-driven products.
