Healthcare is obsessed with optimizing a broken system. We're making sure it never breaks.
Silna Health attacks the root cause of denied claims: the fragmented, incompatible systems that govern prior authorizations, eligibility verification, and benefit checks, turning workflows that used to take days into decisions made in minutes, before care is ever delivered.
We work across behavioral health, physical health, ambulatory care, and post-acute care, where administrative failure doesn't just cost money; it can delay or deny patient access entirely. We're backed by Accel and Bain Capital Ventures, and we're building fast.
The OpportunityAs Silna experiences explosive growth, we're seeking a hungry and driven Sales Development Representative to join our team in NYC. This is a ground-floor opportunity to build our lead generation engine and be the foundation of our sales success as we transform how healthcare providers clear patients for care.
Reporting directly to our Account Executive, you'll own the top of our sales funnel, develop and execute prospecting strategies, and contribute to defining our lead qualification process.
