Mid-Market Account Executive

I quit medicine because I kept watching patients die needlessly, for avoidable reasons. In almost every case, the medical knowledge and clinicians were there. It was the system that failed: the way information moved, decisions got routed, and fragmented teams and data turned solvable problems into tragedy.

I started Anima to change that.

Our mission is human wellbeing, and we believe personalised medicine will transform it. Our founding insight is that getting there requires a system that learns continuously from care and its outcomes, optimising for human wellbeing. Building that learning engine is the opportunity at the heart of Anima.

We're now in 1,000+ clinics across 5 product lines, serving more than 25% of the UK population. We are cash flow positive, growing fast, and have a tight crew of ~45 people who care deeply for each other and the mission. Everyone has real ownership and a voice in decisions.

Multiple trillion-dollar companies will be built in healthcare over the next two decades. We intend to be one of them.

If you want to work on problems where the stakes are high, you belong at Anima. Your work here will save lives.

Do you want to save lives with every clinic that you onboard?

Please note that as this role may involve site work and on-site support for our users, we can only consider your application if you are based in the UK. You will not be able to complete our screening task if you are not based in the UK, so please bear this in mind when submitting your application. We hope to welcome you to the team soon!

Join Anima, and you'll use your influence and people skills to get Anima into clinics and entire regions: an urgently needed product that saves lives amid critical levels of patient demand, with healthcare systems in crisis across the globe.

Since launching in the UK, we're now used in by GP practices, primary care networks and federations across the country who collectively provide care for over 2 million patients.

Have amazing stakeholder conversations with users who fanatically love the product, and steer our product direction

Our current distribution team have said that one of the biggest perks of working at Anima is seeing the delight and disbelief on people’s faces when we show them our demo, something that is truly a 10x generational leap. Here’s what some of our users have been saying:

*“I sent a plan to the patient and it’s incredible, within a few minutes they’re coming back to me saying that they can make the appointment!”

"I would call that next generation, I think you have that badge"

”Sometimes you need to stop driving a Fiesta and buy a Mercedes"*

Lots of us went into medicine because we wanted to maximise our positive impact. At Anima, we understand that distribution is the other half of a legendary product. Here are incredible things we’ve built as a result of our fullstack sales team:

• A Clinical Director at one of our practices wanted to streamline multiple access channels and make access equitable and fair. After some great discovery and deep listening, the AM together with the customer suggested we build something called ‘proxy requests’, which would allow the reception team at a clinic to complete Anima requests on behalf of a patient who was on a landline call - this made it possible to give someone with no internet or mobile phone the same access to care. This is now one of our most popular features that has led to viral referrals and fanatical users.

• One of our fullstack account manager, realised that adding a configurable feature that allows patients to self-book appointments directly into the electronic health record calendar would be critical to closing large enterprise accounts. By deeply understanding the pain points and anxieties underlying the feature, Anima built the feature in 9 days, to the great excitement of users at demo calls and $1m+ ACV meetings.

• Off the back of fanatical referrals from our existing users, the team was invited to present to NHS England at national and regional level, and we’ve been helping to shape the future of the primary care market through an upcoming $1bn+ procurement framework.

Does this sound like you?

• Hungry and wants their shot to change the world - a force of nature when empowered with the tools, resources and development to do it.

• Exceptional communicator, able to distill complex information into clear and concise bullets without jargon. An excellent conduit between users and the rest of the company.

• Able to execute a high sigma discovery process and in combination with incisive people intuition, elucidate deep pain points and opportunities to excite within minutes of the first call.

• Has incredibly high standards for themselves and an unshakeable growth mindset: able to challenge themselves and those around them to push to do things better.

• Exceptionally organised: able to build & maintain multiple relationships across a diverse range of organisations, and consistently execute on plans to onboard and retain users. Reliably follows up on 100% of qualified leads at optimal intervals.

• A gifted relationship builder, able to quickly build rapport and emotional anchors with almost anyone and any persona.

• Pragmatic rather than dogmatic in decision making: able to weigh real world data appropriately, changing course when necessary towards optimal outcomes for patients and clinicians.

• Keen to understand the big picture & entire context of the company and vertical; impatient to grow towards a senior executive role.

• Seeks to maximise combined team productivity, communicating the right things at the right time through the right channels.

• Intellectually curious and loves learning - able to tackle entirely novel challenges that lack prior precedent through first principles thinking, creatively using the right pragmatic approach, with an understanding of alternatives and trade offs.

It's helpful to have B2B/SaaS experience, generating leads of $10k+ ACV, but not mandatory - we will make exceptions if you’re a high performing BDR. You need to have demonstrated a high growth mindset and potential for rapid skill development through past projects. For this role, you will need to be based in the UK.

Our current users & what to expect from the role

We're live with GP teams across the country, being used by teams across the NHS.
