Head of Sales, Italy - Digital Health & AI

Founded over 5 years ago, the company supports patients, healthcare professionals, and researchers in the fight against cancer. We have developed a state-of-the-art platform, utilising Artificial Intelligence, that facilitates the continuum of care and fosters research programs focused on innovative therapies.

Through our platform:

• Healthcare professionals gain access to precise information on the evolution of their patients' health, enabling them to prioritize those with the greatest need, reducing waiting lists, and minimizing the need for in-person consultations, ultimately saving time and resources.
• Patients can communicate information about potential treatment side effects or their overall quality of life, exchange documents with their medical team, educate themselves about their disease or treatment, and access digital support services.

Our goal is to democratize the use of remote monitoring and establish it as the new standard of care across Europe.

About the Position

The company currently works with more than 100 healthcare facilities and has monitored over 10,000 patients to date. With plans for expansion across Western Europe, we have already established a presence in Western Europe and launched our first partnership in Milan, Italy. Our next step is to collaborate with more hospitals—both public and private—in Italy.

1. New Business Development: Reach out to potential prospects in Italy, lead conversations with healthcare facilities interested in adopting our platform, and present the platform through professional demos.

4. Product Collaboration: Collaborate with the product team to ensure the platform meets Italian partners' needs, gather user feedback, and contribute to product development.
