Founding Account Executive

Axle Health builds scheduling and workforce management software to empower in-home healthcare providers to deliver exceptional, personalized care right where patients feel most comfortable—at home.

Some of the biggest providers in the country use our software (like Cityblock Health and Grandcare) to improve the utilization of their field teams by 17%+, and automate the operational burden of scheduling and dispatching.

Our platform includes proprietary logistics algorithms to optimize scheduling, a mobile app for field staff, an operations dashboard for office teams, engagement and booking tools for patients, and a wide range of integrations and external APIs for modular access.

We’re a team of top-tier engineers and operators, backed by $14m from top investors such as Y Combinator, Pear VC, and F-Prime, applying our intellect and logistics experience to upend how home healthcare is delivered.

As our Founding Account Executive, you will play a pivotal role in shaping our sales strategy and driving revenue growth as we scale. This is an extraordinary opportunity to join our team at an early stage and make a significant impact on the future of healthcare delivery. You will be the driving force behind our sales efforts, building relationships with home healthcare providers and closing deals that transform how they deliver care.

The ideal candidate is both strategic and hands on - someone who can build scalable sales processes while personally sourcing and closing top-tier clients. You thrive in a fast-paced, resource-constrained startup environment, and you know how to attract world-class customers to an early-stage, high-impact company.
