WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

We need a commercially proven leader who has done this before — someone who has scaled subscription or SaaS revenue from early-stage to meaningful scale, ideally in a resource-constrained environment. This role is not about building a traditional sales machine alone. HTHC needs a commercial leader who can translate our strong ecosystem position, deep domain expertise, and member services and software products into scalable products/solutions, clear value propositions, and sustainable revenue streams. You must be able to balance mission and commercial discipline: respecting the trust-based, non-profit nature of HTHC while bringing structure, focus, pricing logic, pipeline discipline, and product-led thinking into the organisation Must-haves

• Membership/Subscription/SaaS revenue growth: 10+ years of commercial experience, with a demonstrable track record of scaling subscription or membership revenue. You have owned revenue targets and hit them.
• Sales leadership: 5+ years leading sales teams, with hands-on experience building pipeline, running a CRM, and closing deals. You are comfortable selling and coaching others to sell.
• Lean commercial building: Experience building efficient, low-cost go-to-market engines. Our price points are non-profit-aligned and unit economics must work. You have a mindset around validation.
• International go-to-market: Experience launching products in multiple European markets.
• Entrepreneurial execution: You operate well with autonomy and ambiguity. You set the strategy and you also do the work. You have a hands-on builder mindset, and uses AI tools to build and execute better.
• CRM & data discipline: Fluency in CRM tools ( we use HubSpot). You run commercial operations on data, not gut feel.
• Language: Fluent English (our working language). Danish is a strong advantage for local ecosystem relationships.

Nice-to-haves

• Health tech or digital health experience: Familiarity with the startup or scale-up ecosystem, medical device regulation (MDR/CE mark), or health system stakeholders.
• Partner/channel sales: Experience building and enabling distribution through partners rather than direct sales alone.
• Education: Master’s degree in Business, Marketing, or equivalent — or strong practical experience.

WHAT WE OFFER

• Mission & impact: Work at the heart of European health tech innovation, with a direct line to the startups and technologies that will change healthcare.
• Commercial mandate: Full ownership of the commercial function, with a seat at the leadership table and in close daily collaboration with the CEO and COO.
• Proven foundation + new frontier: Our membership product has 8 years of product-market fit. Health Tech Pathways is new, global, and ready to scale. You get both stability and a greenfield opportunity.
• Passionate team: A team of 5 who care deeply about the mission — and who need a great leader to take them further.
• Culture: Values of trust, openness, and diversity. Flexible working environment. Work-life balance respected.
• Compensation: Competitive for a non-profit environment.
