Chestnut Health•Oak Brook, IL

About The Position

Chestnut Health is a high-growth, post-startup, provider-based healthcare organization headquartered in Oak Brook, IL. We deliver physiatry and rehabilitation services directly to patients in skilled nursing facilities (SNFs). We are growing quickly in Illinois and across multiple states, and we are building a leadership team that can scale that growth. We are at an exciting stage: big enough to have momentum, small enough that your work shapes the company. Leaders here roll up their sleeves, solve real problems, and then build the teams to carry the work forward. Chestnut Health is looking for a seller-leader to drive growth as we expand into new markets. You will build relationships with corporate decision-makers at skilled nursing facility organizations, lead our sales strategy, and close deals yourself. As we grow, you will build and lead the team. You will lead both top-down (corporate and executive relationships) and bottoms-up (facility-level) sales approaches. Both strategies are already underway with our business development team, and you will help execute and sharpen them.
