Job Description We are hiring for a Sales Manager — Employer Health & Wellness Location: Remote — Northeast US preferred (NY / NJ / CT / PA / MA) Type: Full-Time Eligibility: US Citizen. ABOUT APPEX INNOVATION Appex Innovation is a digital health company building the future of workforce health management. Our flagship platform, MyHealth, gives employees one connected place for their complete health story — while giving employers real-time population health insights, predictive risk identification, and measurable ROI on healthcare spend. We are live across 1.8 million+ lives and growing rapidly in the US employer market. We are a lean, founder-led team and this is a ground-floor opportunity to own and build our US sales function from day one. THE ROLE • We are looking for a hungry, relationship-first sales professional who has sold health and wellness solutions into US employers before — and has the CHRO, VP HR, and Benefits Director relationships to prove it. • This is not a role for someone who needs a large team, a mature sales playbook, or an established brand to lean on. This is a role for someone who thrives in a startup environment, knows how to open doors independently, and wants to own a market. • Your mandate for the first 3–4 months is clear: 2 to 5 signed pilot customers. Pilots may be paid or unpaid depending on the employer — what matters is getting MyHealth in front of real workforces and proving the value. • You will work directly with the CEO to close deals. Your job is to open doors and drive pipeline. Closing will be a team effort. WHAT YOU WILL DO Pipeline Development - Identify, prioritize and prospect mid-to-large US employers (500–10,000 employees) across target verticals including financial services, professional services, manufacturing, logistics and retail - Build and manage a pipeline of 30–50 qualified employer opportunities within the first 90 days - Leverage existing CHRO, VP HR, and Benefits Director relationships to generate warm introductions and early meetings Outreach & Engagement - Drive outbound prospecting via LinkedIn, email, phone, and industry events - Represent Appex Innovation and MyHealth at HR industry conferences including SHRM, HLTH, and Benefits forums - Conduct discovery calls, product demos and follow-up conversations independently and alongside the CEO Pilot Conversion - Qualify and convert prospects into signed pilot agreements within the first 3–4 months - Own the full sales cycle from first conversation to signed agreement for deals under $50,000 ACV; co-sell with CEO on larger opportunities - Coordinate with the product and implementation team to ensure a smooth pilot onboarding experience Market Intelligence - Feed competitive insights, buyer objections, and market feedback directly to the product and leadership team - Actively contribute to refining the US go-to-market strategy, pricing, and positioning based on real buyer conversations Must Have - 3–5 years of B2B sales experience selling health, wellness, benefits, or HR technology solutions into US employers - Demonstrated track record of selling to and building relationships with CHROs, VP HRs, Benefits Directors, or Total Rewards leaders at companies with 500+ employees - Experience working in or alongside a startup or early-stage company — you know how to operate without a large support structure - Proven ability to self-source pipeline — you do not wait for leads to come to you - Existing network of HR and benefits decision-makers you can call on immediately - Strong written and verbal communication — you can run a compelling demo and write a crisp follow-up email - Based in the Northeast US (NY / NJ / CT / PA / MA preferred) with ability to travel for meetings and conferences Nice to Have - Experience selling digital health, employer wellness platforms, population health management, or EAP solutions specifically - Familiarity with HIPAA compliance requirements and employer health data privacy considerations - Experience with CRM tools (Zoho CRM preferred) and LinkedIn Sales Navigator - Existing relationships within SHRM, NBGH, or employer health coalition networks Not a Fit If - You have only sold to hospitals, payers, or health systems — this role is purely employer / HR buyer focused - You need a large established brand to open doors - You are looking for a pure account management role — this is new business development first WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE Day 30: 30+ qualified prospects identified, 10+ first meetings completed Day 60: 20+ active opportunities in pipeline, 3+ demos delivered Day 90–120: 2–5 signed pilot agreements, first pilot customers onboarded Month 6+: Conversion of pilots to full contracts, expansion pipeline established WHY JOIN APPEX INNOVATION - Ground-floor US sales role — you will build the playbook, not follow one - Direct access to the CEO on every major deal — no layers, no bureaucracy - A product that genuinely solves a real problem — this is not a hard sell when you are in front of the right buyer - Competitive compensation with uncapped upside tied directly to your results - A company with 1.8 million lives on platform and growing — you have proof points to sell with Appex Innovation is an equal opportunity employer.
