Why join us now?

Team: We are led by Pete Shalek (2x health tech exits, including a $600M acquisition by Optum) and Nitin Joshi (scaled Uber Eats + Health, Stripe Connect, and Bridge-acquired by Stripe for $1.1B). Beyond our Founders, our team brings decades of experience from Stripe, Uber, and Meta, combining deep expertise in ML systems, large-scale infrastructure, and product design.

Trajectory: We partner with leading independent provider groups across the U.S., automating hundreds of thousands of tasks each month. Scaling at 7x year-over-year with 300% NRR as customers consistently expand usage.

Funding: We have raised $39m from world-class investors including Redpoint Ventures, General Catalyst, Primary Ventures, and BoxGroup.

About the role

As an Account Executive at Valerie Health, you'll be at the forefront of our growth, bringing transformative AI-powered solutions to independent practices across the country.

You'll be joining at an inflection point where your impact will directly shape our go-to-market strategy and revenue trajectory.

What you'll do

• Drive New Business: Own and exceed quarterly revenue targets by building pipeline, running discovery calls, conducting product demonstrations, and closing deals with independent practices.
• Collaborate Cross-Functionally: Partner closely with our Customers and Operations team to ensure smooth onboarding, with Product to communicate customer feedback, and with Marketing to refine messaging and positioning.
• Refine the Playbook: Contribute to the development of our sales methodology, ideal customer profiles, and go-to-market strategies as we scale from early-stage startup to market leader.
• Build Strategic Relationships: Cultivate ongoing relationships with key stakeholders in target practices, including practice managers, medical directors, and C-suite executives, to navigate complex buying processes and upsells.
