Head of Sales

Remote

 

Sift Healthcare is seeking a Head of Sales to join our team. This is a foundational sales role, equal parts strategist, closer, and relationship builder. We’re looking for a high-performing sales leader who thrives in ambiguity, knows how to sell to healthcare executives and is willing to work all parts of the sales cycle.

This role is ideal for someone who can move between boardrooms and cold outreach with credibility, resilience, and drive.

 

Sift is transforming healthcare payments by equipping healthcare organizations to fully leverage their payments data to work smarter, protect their margins and accelerate cash flow. Large health systems, leading HCIT vendors, payers and outsourced revenue management agencies use Sift's Payments Intelligence Platform, ML integrations and advanced analytics to optimize payment outcomes and enable data-driven decision-making within the revenue cycle.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
