About Us

Axle Health builds scheduling and workforce management software to empower in-home healthcare providers to deliver exceptional, personalized care right where patients feel most comfortable—at home.

Some of the biggest providers in the country use our software (like Cityblock Health and Grandcare) to improve the utilization of their field teams by 17%+, and automate the operational burden of scheduling and dispatching.

Our platform includes proprietary logistics algorithms to optimize scheduling, a mobile app for field staff, an operations dashboard for office teams, engagement and booking tools for patients, and a wide range of integrations and external APIs for modular access.

We’re a team of top-tier engineers and operators, backed by $14m from top investors such as Y Combinator, Pear VC, and F-Prime, applying our intellect and logistics experience to upend how home healthcare is delivered.

  • Conduct compelling product demonstrations that clearly articulate our value proposition

  • Negotiate contracts and manage complex sales cycles with enterprise healthcare organizations

  • Provide market intelligence to product and leadership teams to inform product development

  • Collaborate closely with marketing, customer success, and product teams to support alignment

  • History of successful enterprise sales ($50K+ ACV)

  • Exceptional communication, presentation, and negotiation skills

  • Ability to navigate complex sales cycles with multiple stakeholders

  • Experience using CRM software (e.g., Salesforce, HubSpot) and sales engagement tools

  • Entrepreneurial mindset with the ability to thrive in ambiguity, create structure, and work autonomously as a self-starter

  • Data-driven approach to sales, using metrics to optimize strategies and processes

  • Empathetic listener who can identify customer pain points and articulate solutions

  • Passion for healthcare innovation and improving patient outcomes

  • Bachelor's degree

Nice to have:
