By developing best-practice clinical pathways and care orchestration software, we help healthcare providers across Europe streamline their processes, eliminate inefficiencies, and increase care coordination, which results in improved outcomes for patient - all while creating more capacity for health systems and enabling high quality healthcare to be delivered more cost effectively.

We’re not just another healthtech company; we have built the most compliance-ready careorchestration solution in Europe. We are one of the most exciting Portuguese VC-backed companies, with a tier 1 team of innovators who push boundaries, take ownership, and strive for excellence. If you’re excited about making a real impact, growing alongside passionate colleagues, and tackling meaningful challenges, you just might be an Uphiller.

Our Org

At UpHill we have a sales team split geographically between the regions we cover, and with a dual responsibility - fitting our solutions to the customers' infrastructure and use cases, and promoting our products to new and existing customers.

We have a programme designed to scale our sales teams, starting with project management responsibilities around implementing our solutions and ensuring customer success, evolving then to account management and sales responsibilities around our company's core salesefforts.

Your Role

For this role we're looking for someone with less than 4 years of work experience, with a background/interest in operations, project management or sales. We anticipate potential fit will come from profiles with a health, business or engineering backgrounds, most likely with demonstrated experience in project management or operations.

Culturally, we expect to meet candidates motivated by the impact our health care solutions have, and motivated to work & learn from our fast paced environment. Our tier 1 team joins high stakes work with urgent delivery, and we look forward meeting candidates where a bias towards action will fit naturally into this critical work setting.

This is expected to be an 18–24 month programme, resulting in a full-time transition into a well-defined role within our sales team, focused on account management, customer engagement, and business development (an autonomous position with full P&L responsibility for a defined set of customer and prospect accounts). At the end of this programme you’ll have earned the responsibility to own the direct relationship with a live customer, you’ll be an active sales lead generator for the company, and will have experienced end-to-end the sales and implementation cycle of 6-figure enterprise sales cycles.
