Founding Account Executive

About us

Clean Slate Clinic isn’t your average health service. We’re a telehealth social enterprise smashing the barriers - geography, cost, stigma - that stop people from accessing alcohol and other drug recovery care. With a purpose-driven team and clinician-led programs, we're on a mission to help thousands achieve long-term recovery. This is healthcare built for dignity, access, and scale.

Who we are looking for

We’re hiring our first dedicated sales leader.

This is a founding role focused on opening new revenue channels from scratch. You’ll be responsible for building pipeline, closing deals, and creating a repeatable go-to-market motion across employers, occupational health, EAPs, and GP networks.

You won’t be handed a playbook. You’ll be expected to build it.

This role suits someone who can operate with autonomy, open doors through their network, and sell credibly into both commercial and clinical stakeholders.

You have

• An existing senior network across corporate health, occupational health, EAPs, or HR / Benefits leadership, and can open doors from week one
• A proven hunter mindset, with a track record of closing enterprise deals end-to-end (not account management or renewals)
• Experience opening new markets, verticals, or geographies from scratch
• Confidence selling to both C-suite commercial buyers and clinical / medical stakeholders
• Experience managing complex, multi-stakeholder sales cycles (typically 3–9 months)
• Strong commercial judgement, with the ability to prioritise high-value opportunities
• A highly self-sufficient approach, comfortable operating without structure or oversight

Strongly Preferred:

• Experience selling mental health, menopause, rehab, addiction, or similar clinically-governed programmes
• Experience working in or alongside regulated healthcare environments
• A genuine interest in healthcare, addiction, or workplace wellbeing

Nice to have:

• Experience as a founding AE or first sales hire
• Experience building sales processes, playbooks, or early-stage teams

You will

• Open and grow new revenue channels across employers, corporate health, EAPs and GP networks
• Build pipeline through your network, outbound efforts and strategic partnerships
• Lead discovery, position the clinical and commercial value, and close new deals
• Develop and refine go-to-market strategies for new verticals
• Build relationships with senior stakeholders across corporate and healthcare organisations
• Work closely with founders and product teams to shape offering and positioning
• Lay the foundation for a future sales team

What success looks like

In your first month, you’ll focus on getting up to speed quickly. That means building a deep understanding of the product, the clinical model, and how the business has successfully sold into private health insurers so far. You’ll assess where the biggest opportunities lie across new verticals, begin activating your network, and start having early conversations to test positioning and demand. By the end of this phase, you should have a clear view on where to focus and how to approach the market.

Over the following months, the expectation is that you start turning that early signal into real traction. You’ll build a consistent pipeline across new channels, begin closing initial deals or pilot partnerships, and refine your messaging based on what’s landing in the market. Alongside this, you’ll be shaping a repeatable go-to-market approach that can scale beyond you. Success here isn’t just about individual deals, it’s about proving new revenue streams and laying the groundwork for a broader sales function as the company grows.

The team

You will be reporting to the CRO and you’ll be joining a team where sales has historically been driven by the founders and C-suite. There is no dedicated sales function yet, which is exactly why this role exists.

This is an opportunity to build the foundation of that function and play a key role in how the business scales.

The benefits

• Competitive base salary with performance-based commission (structure to be shaped with the right hire)
• Fully remote working with access to co-working spaces
• High ownership and autonomy in a founding role
• Opportunity to build and lead a team as the company scales
• Exposure to founders and senior leadership
• The chance to work on a genuinely meaningful problem with real-world impact

We believe that diversity is critical to our success. We will not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, national origin, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, age, or marital, veteran, or disability status.
