Head of Employer Sales (Hybrid)

At Wellist, we’ve spent the last 10 years helping people navigate life’s most challenging moments. After a decade of proven impact serving health systems, we have pivoted into the employer space —and we’re now scaling rapidly. Our platform empowers employers to deliver the right resources at the right time, so employees feel supported through every life moment and HR leaders can maximize the value of their benefit investments. 

It’s an exciting inflection point: you’ll be joining a company with the stability of a seasoned organization and the momentum of a high-growth expansion. As our Head of Employer Sales, you'll lead Wellist's rapid commercial expansion into the large, enterprise employer market through a combination of relationship building, dealmaking and market positioning.
