About the Role
We are hiring a VP of Sales to build and lead the sales function at Passage Health, enabling us to grow from $10M to $30M ARR. This highly visible role will partner directly with the CEO to define and execute our go-to-market strategy and own revenue growth during our scaling phase. The role blends sales leadership with active involvement in key opportunities, owning the sales motion end-to-end while coaching reps and refining our sales approach.
Responsibilities
- Own the end-to-end sales function and help define what "great sales" looks like at Passage.
- Partner closely with the CEO and marketing to shape our overall go-to-market strategy, priorities, and roadmap.
- Build the foundation for a scalable sales org — process, tools, CRM hygiene, forecasting, and ways of working.
- Help define the future structure of the sales team and hire, onboard, and develop reps over time.
- Stay close to the most important deals, providing coaching and support that improves win rates and helps the team close business.
- Own how we sell — sharpening our pitch and value proposition so it's clear, differentiated, and resonates with the buyers we care about.
- Lead our strategy for winning against legacy incumbents and equip the team with the messaging and tools to make switching compelling.
- Define the strategy to move up-market from SMB and mid-market into enterprise as deals grow more complex.
- Identify and develop new markets, segments, and growth opportunities for Passage.
- Keep messaging consistent from first touch through close, in partnership with marketing.
- Own revenue targets, pipeline generation, and accurate forecasting.
- Define goals and priorities for the initiatives that drive pipeline and conversion.
- Partner with marketing so campaigns and messaging convert into qualified pipeline.
- Manage the funnel rigorously — diagnosing where deals stall and helping the team improve performance.
- Build the repeatable sales motion — playbooks, onboarding, and enablement that help reps ramp and deals move faster.
- Build the motion to win larger, more complex deals as we move up-market — multi-stakeholder buying cycles, longer sales processes, and the enablement to support them.
- Turn positioning into sales-ready materials: pitch decks, one-pagers, proof points, and competitive plays.
- Coach Account Executives through strategic opportunities and complex deals.
- Test, measure, and optimize the sales approach based on what's actually winning.
Requirements
- 8–12 years of experience in B2B SaaS software sales, with hands-on ownership across progressive sales leadership experience.
- Experience selling B2B software — you understand how technical/operational products get bought and sold.
- A track record selling into SMB and mid-market segments.
- Demonstrated success unseating legacy incumbents — displacing entrenched software prospects have built workarounds around.
- Has seen what "great" looks like in a startup context — ideally helped scale a post Series A business to the next stages.
- Experience building or scaling a sales team and motion from an early stage, not just inheriting a mature one.
- Comfort working directly with executive leadership and influencing cross-functional teams.
- Excellent communicator with a bias toward customer insight — energized by talking to prospects and customers.
- High ownership mindset: scrappy, proactive, and energized by ambiguity.
- Ability to balance strategic thinking with hands-on execution and carrying a number.
- A personal connection to autism or autism care is a plus.
