Director, Healthcare Growth

Director, Healthcare Growth Location: Canada (Remote) Build the Future of Healthcare Training Healthcare is facing an unprecedented workforce challenge. Rising costs, staff shortages, burnout, and increasingly complex clinical environments demand new approaches to education and workforce enablement. At Aequilibrium, we're building the next generation of healthcare learning using AI, Virtual Reality (VR), and immersive technologies. Our vision is to transform how healthcare professionals learn—not by watching videos or sitting in classrooms, but by practicing realistic scenarios that build confidence, competence, and muscle memory. We're looking for an entrepreneurial commercial leader to help bring this vision to market. This is not an account management role. This is not an alliance management role. This is an opportunity to help build a new business.

You will identify market opportunities, build relationships with healthcare leaders, create strategic partnerships, lead consultative sales engagements, and secure our first generation of lighthouse customers. Working closely with our executive, product, design, and engineering teams, you will translate market needs into scalable solutions while helping define how AEQ grows its healthcare business.

What We're Looking For Required 8+ years of business development, enterprise sales, consulting, or commercial leadership experience.

You enjoy: Building new markets rather than inheriting territories. Creating opportunities instead of waiting for leads. Solving customer problems through consultative selling.

This Role Is Not For You If... You prefer: Managing existing accounts. Selling highly standardized products. Working within large corporate sales organizations with established playbooks. Waiting for marketing-qualified leads rather than creating your own opportunities. Highly structured environments with extensive support teams. Why Join Aequilibrium? At AEQ, you'll have the opportunity to help build something meaningful. You'll work alongside experts in AI, design, engineering, and immersive technologies to transform how healthcare organizations educate and prepare their workforce. Rather than joining an established sales organization, you'll play a key role in shaping how an entirely new healthcare business grows—from defining the go-to-market strategy to winning customers and influencing product direction. If you're excited about combining technology, innovation, and meaningful impact, we'd love to meet you.
