Sales Development Representative

Florence is one of the UK’s fastest-growing healthcare technology companies, founded by an NHS doctor with an ambition to transform care with people-first technology. The Florence app empowers nurses to find flexible, fair and transparent work options, and enables healthcare facilities to reliably address staffing shortages.

With over 90,000 healthcare professionals and 4,000 facilities using Florence in the UK, and a recent series B fundraise of $35m USD, we’ve set our sights on global expansion into Canada, France and Germany. This is a unique opportunity to join the Florence Canada team in its launch year, working in support of a high-growth start-up mandate.

Florence technology powers an innovative marketplace between healthcare organizations and professionals. We’re looking to supercharge our Sales team to unlock a wide and varied network of organizations as one side of the marketplace.

Critical to success in this role is a challenger mindset and entrepreneurial, self-starter spirit: the ability to work with what you have, identify new angles, and unlock learnings from wins and losses to help chart a new path. You must be resilient and collaborative, and thrive in a fast-paced environment.

You will have a proven track record in sales, ideally within the sector, however the real key is having the right attitude and willingness to learn. Above all else, you are a team player.

At Florence, you'll have the opportunity to make a significant impact on the healthcare industry while contributing to a dynamic and fast-growing organization. Join us as we revolutionize healthcare staffing with technology!
