At Heron, we’re building the operating layer for the modern clinic. Healthcare is human, but admin never stops. Heron’s agents answer the phone, book appointments, handle prescriptions and enrollments across every channel, and hand the team only what needs a human decision.
We started with general practitioners in New Zealand whose front desks were stretched thin, and built Heron side by side with the GPs, receptionists, nurses and practice managers who run those clinics. Today general practices, specialist clinics and allied health practices across New Zealand and Australia use Heron every day.
We’re hiring an Account Executive to cover New Zealand, based in Auckland or another major centre. You’ll own the full sales cycle with practice owners, practice managers and clinic groups across the country, and help shape how Heron goes to market here.
Location & work mode
Auckland based and hybrid, from our office in Takapuna, where we work together regularly and from home when focus matters more. If you live in another centre with a lot of clinics, such as Hamilton, Wellington or Christchurch, we’re open to you working remotely, with regular time with the team in Auckland.
Some travel around New Zealand is required to meet clinics: demos at the front desk, onboarding sessions, and the conferences where practice managers meet.
What you’ll do
- Own the full sales cycle, from first conversation to signed agreement: discovery, demos, free trials, proposals and close
- Build and work your own pipeline of general practices, specialist clinics, allied health practices and multi-site groups, alongside the leads our SDR team books
- Run demos that show Heron working with the clinic’s own phone system and practice management system, not a generic slide deck
- Bring in partners: PHOs and primary care networks, practice management system vendors, and the phone and IT providers clinics already trust
- Stay involved through onboarding: guide the clinic’s team to go-live alongside our onboarding team, who handle the technical setup, and stay close as the clinic grows
- Bring what you hear in the field back to the product team, so the next release solves the problems clinics actually have
- Keep HubSpot, our CRM, up to date and forecast accurately
What we’re looking for
- 2+ years in B2B SaaS sales, with a track record of closing new business and hitting quota
- Experience selling to healthcare: general practice, specialists, allied health or dental, ideally to practice managers and owners
- A working knowledge of how clinics run: the front desk, the phones, and practice management systems such as Medtech, Best Practice or Cliniko
- Strong discovery skills: you find the real problem behind “we’re too busy” and tie Heron to it
- Comfortable demoing a technical product, and explaining AI plainly and honestly, including what it doesn’t do
- Self-directed, organised and at ease running deals on your own, with a team that backs you
- Comfortable in a young company where you help build the playbook, not just follow one
- Care for the people on the other end. Clinic staff are stretched, and patients depend on them
Nice to have: experience with HubSpot, PHOs or primary care networks, partner or channel sales, or selling into dental or allied health groups.
What you’ll sell
