About the role

Brighterway is a VC-backed startup (YC S24) building AI-powered medical record review tools for the workers’ compensation ecosystem. We process 10M+ pages of medical records per month and are growing rapidly across national claims organizations.

About the Role
We’re looking for a Sales Associate to work directly with our founding team to help drive outbound outreach, research new opportunities, and explore where our product can create the most value. This is a hands-on, high-exposure role for someone who wants to learn how sales, partnerships, and early customer development really work at a fast-growing startup.

You’ll be involved in everything from prospect research and outreach to attending conferences and industry events, helping us build relationships and uncover new use cases. This is not a scripted call-center role, it’s about curiosity, hustle, and learning how deals actually get done.

What You’ll Do

  • Research potential customers, partners, and new market opportunities
  • Support outbound outreach via email, LinkedIn, and other channels
  • Help qualify inbound interest and route opportunities to the right people
  • Assist with preparing outreach materials, follow-ups, and CRM updates
  • Attend conferences, trade shows, and in-person events (travel required at times)
  • Help identify patterns in customer conversations and surface new product or sales ideas
  • Work closely with founders and senior team members on real deals and experiments

Who You Are

  • Curious, proactive, and comfortable with ambiguity
  • Strong written and verbal communicator
  • Organized and detail-oriented, but not afraid to move fast
  • Interested in sales, startups, and customer-facing work
  • Comfortable reaching out to people you don’t know
  • Willing to travel occasionally for conferences and events

Nice to Have (Not Required)

  • Prior sales, recruiting, consulting, or research experience
  • Familiarity with CRM tools (HubSpot, Salesforce, etc.)
  • Interest in healthcare, legal, or enterprise technology

Why This Role

  • Direct exposure to founders and real customer conversations
  • Learn outbound sales, partnerships, and market discovery from the ground up
  • Opportunity to grow into more senior sales, partnerships, or strategy roles
  • Mix of desk work and in-person industry exposure
  • Commission on deals

If you’re excited to learn fast, talk to customers, and help shape how a company grows, we’d love to hear from you.
