at Qventus

🏢 About Qventus

Qventus is a healthcare AI company that uses machine learning to help hospitals improve operational efficiency and patient outcomes. Their focus on automating clinical workflows and revenue cycle processes makes them a unique player in the health tech space, offering the chance to work on cutting-edge solutions that directly impact patient care and hospital profitability.

About This Role

As VP of Sales for the malnutrition and coding automation solution, you will own the full sales cycle for a new business line, from pipeline generation to contract execution. This role is high-impact as you'll build the commercial foundation for a product that addresses critical gaps in care and revenue capture, working with both clinical and financial stakeholders.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might involve morning calls with prospects (CFOs, CDI directors) to demo the solution, followed by internal syncs with product teams to share market feedback. Afternoons could be spent refining sales playbooks, analyzing pipeline metrics, and preparing for executive presentations.

🎯 Who Qventus Is Looking For

  • 5+ years of healthcare sales experience, specifically selling to hospitals and health systems, with a track record of exceeding revenue targets.
  • Deep understanding of inpatient workflows, CDI, coding, and quality measures like MCC capture, allowing you to speak credibly with clinical and revenue cycle leaders.
  • Experience in early-stage or new product launches, comfortable with ambiguity and building repeatable sales motions from scratch.
  • Strong cross-functional collaboration skills, able to work closely with product and marketing to shape go-to-market strategy.

📝 Tips for Applying to Qventus

3

In your cover letter, explicitly mention your familiarity with inpatient workflows and how you've engaged both clinical and financial buyers.

4

Prepare to discuss how you would build a sales playbook for a new solution, including target customer profiles and outreach motions.

5

Research Qventus's existing products (e.g., Inpatient, Perioperative) and articulate how the new solution fits into their portfolio.

✉️ What to Emphasize in Your Cover Letter
