SalesJobs.Now is free for job seekers. Some links here pay us: a job ad network pays for a click on one of its sponsored jobs, a recruiting firm pays a referral fee when someone who came from here is hired, and a career tool pays a commission when you buy it. That costs you nothing and never lowers what you are paid. Roles whose links pay us can be placed higher in a list. "Featured roles" are openings an employer picked during a free trial with us; no employer can pay for that spot.

About the job
A profitable, YC-backed AI startup helps dental practices turn missed revenue into booked appointments, using AI calling and texting to bring overdue and lapsed patients back. Inbound demand now outpaces the founder, and adding one closer could roughly double revenue. This founding growth hire works directly with the founder: running daily inbound sales calls and closing, then building outbound, partnerships, conferences and lightweight internal tools. The goal is to help scale the business to $10M ARR as fast as possible.
First growth hire at a profitable YC AI startup with more inbound than the founder can handle. Close live demand from day one. Base $120K–$200K.
