Account Executive (Post-Acute Care)

Full-time · Remote + Local Travel · $70k base + 15% commission (OTE ~$140k)

OVERVIEW

Cortex is hiring an Account Executive to drive growth in the post-acute care space. This is a full-cycle, relationship-driven sales role built for people who know this industry - nurses, clinical leaders, administrators, social workers, MDS coordinators, and operators who have lived the realities of home health, hospice, and skilled nursing.

If you’ve spent years inside facilities or agencies and want a new path that uses your expertise without bedside burnout, survey stress, or endless fires, this is that path.

You'll connect with leaders across home health, hospice, skilled nursing, and assisted living organizations, helping them solve their toughest operational, satisfaction, and workflow problems with Cortex’s software and services.

This is a hybrid remote role. You’ll work from home and spend 2–3 days per week visiting customers and prospects within about a 30–40 mile radius of your home base.

WORK LOCATION

Remote from home, with regular (2–3 days/week) local facility visits in one of the following preferred areas:

• San Diego, CA
• Denver, CO
• Kansas City, MO
• Nashville, TN
• Chicago, IL
• Atlanta, GA
• Omaha, NE
• Phoenix, AZ
• Tampa, FL
• Detroit, MI
• St. Louis, MO

If you live in another major metropolitan area, feel free to apply too!

WHY THIS ROLE IS DIFFERENT

People from post-acute care thrive here because this job offers:

• No nights, no weekends, no on-call
• No state surveys or regulatory chaos
• Autonomy + trust in how you run your region
• Mission-driven work that meaningfully improves patient and family experience
• A fast-moving, no-micromanagement culture
• A small, mighty team where your voice shapes strategy and growth
• A clear career path outside of facility burnout

Your clinical and operational background becomes a superpower in this role.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Identify, prospect, and close new business with post-acute organizations (home health, hospice, SNFs, ALFs)
• Build long-term relationships with DONs, MDS coordinators, Administrators, Social Workers, admissions/discharge teams, and regional leaders
• Conduct prospecting activities: phone, email, LinkedIn, in-person visits
• Visit local facilities 2–3 days per week and network extensively in your region
• Represent Cortex at regional events and industry conferences
• Deliver consultative, high-touch experiences that show clear understanding of post-acute challenges
• Manage your pipeline and consistently achieve sales targets
• Collaborate with leadership and marketing on messaging, campaigns, and market strategy

WHO THRIVES IN THIS ROLE

You’ll be a strong match if you bring:

• Background in post-acute care (home health, hospice, skilled nursing facilities, assisted living)
• Experience as a DON, ADON, MDS coordinator, clinician, administrator, supervisor, social worker, case manager, admissions/discharge leader, or agency director
• Strong operational or regulatory understanding of the post-acute world
• Experience in relationship-based roles (formal sales experience welcome but not required)
• Outstanding communication skills and the ability to connect with leaders at all levels
• A competitive, driven mindset with a desire to build something meaningful

Early-career clinicians are not the right match. This role is designed for experienced post-acute professionals ready for a new challenge.
