About SafelyYou

SafelyYou’s passionate mission is to empower safer, more person-centered care across senior living through world-leading AI, industry-changing hardware, and remote expert clinicians, significantly improving outcomes for residents while increasing peace of mind for families and reducing costs for communities.

Originating in 2015 as the doctoral research of CEO George Netscher—and inspired by his own family's experience with Alzheimer's disease—SafelyYou was spun out of UC Berkeley’s Artificial Intelligence Research Lab, one of the top five AI research groups in the world. And today, our company is solving critical challenges in senior living, from resident falls and ER visits to staffing concerns, length of stay, and NOI. All helping ensure that communities can focus on improved care for residents while still reaching their financial goals.

SafelyYou is one of five most innovative fall technologies referenced in the Senate Falls Report (2019), a winner of the McKnight’s Tech Partner of the Year, and has been named to Fortune’s Impact 20 list, which recognizes companies making people’s lives better through innovation.

Your Role at SafelyYou

The VP of Sales will lead SafelyYou’s Net New Sales organization, with dual responsibilities:
 

1. Maintain and enhance the performance of our high-performing enterprise sales team.
2. Grow and develop new areas of the business, including building a regionalized field sales team, launching a Sales Development Representative (SDR) team, and expanding into the down-market segment targeting senior living operators with six or fewer communities.

This leader will also be responsible for hiring a player-coach to lead the regional sales and SDR teams, ensuring both strategic oversight and hands-on execution. This role requires an individual with a proven track record in process creation, operational rigor, team development, and scaling revenue organizations in high-growth environments. You’ll report directly to the EVP of Sales (Mike McMillen) and play a key role in SafelyYou’s next phase of growth.

Key Responsibilities:

• Ensure continued success of the enterprise sales team through strong leadership, strategic guidance, and operational support.
• Identify opportunities to enhance sales efficiency, improve forecasting accuracy, and strengthen account strategies.
• Provide mentorship and professional development for enterprise sales leaders and account executives to maintain top-tier performance.
• Build a regionalized field sales team to improve local market engagement and penetration.
• Recruit and hire a player-coach to lead the regional sales team, balancing leadership responsibilities with hands-on sales execution.
• Develop territory plans, sales playbooks, and performance metrics for effective field sales execution.
• Onboard and coach high-performing regional sales representatives in partnership with the player-coach.
• Launch and manage a new SDR team to drive pipeline generation across enterprise, mid-market, and down-market segments.
• Define lead generation processes, KPIs, and career progression paths for SDRs.
• Collaborate closely with Marketing to optimize lead generation, MQL-to-SQL conversion, and campaign effectiveness.
• Develop and execute a go-to-market strategy targeting operators with six or fewer communities.
• Tailor value propositions, pricing models, and sales strategies to meet the unique needs of smaller operators.
• Build a dedicated team to support down-market growth initiatives.
• Architect scalable, repeatable sales processes to improve productivity, efficiency, and consistency across all sales functions.
• Leverage data and analytics to optimize performance, enhance pipeline management, and improve forecasting accuracy.
• Partner with Marketing, Customer Success, Sales Operations, and Product to ensure strategic alignment and revenue growth.
   

The Ideal Candidate

• 10+ years of progressive sales leadership experience in B2B SaaS or technology-driven environments.
• Proven success in building and scaling both field sales and SDR teams from scratch.
• Strong expertise in process creation, operational rigor, and driving consistency across sales organizations.
