    About this role

    TL;DR - We’re building the healthcare workforce for tomorrow. Our AI receptionist Luna is already automating patient communication in medical practices today. As the market leader in German and Austrian dentistry, and with major funding under our belt, we’ve now launched Luna in the UK and Ireland, and are looking for our Founding Account Executive to build on that momentum.

    This isn't a "follow the playbook" role. You'll be our first person on the ground: growing our UK and Irish customer base and writing the playbook that everyone after you will follow.Why praxipal? The shortage of skilled professionals is the biggest challenge in our healthcare systems. Tens of thousands of positions remain unfilled each year, and demographic shifts are only making things worse.

    Medical practices rely on our AI receptionist Luna to reduce staff workload and keep care accessible for everyone. We’re growing at record speed and closed a $6.7M seed round with HV Capital.

    What You’ll DoIn short: turn our traction in the UK & Ireland into a thriving business by converting the strong demand we're seeing into customers.You'll own the full sales cy
