Clinical Expansion Lead

About Sentis Sentis is building the data infrastructure for clinical AI. Our technology captures real-time physiological data from any bedside monitor and turns what hospitals already measure into a standardized stream that clinical AI can run on. We are live in US ICUs, piloting with academic medical centers, and scaling from single units to full-hospital deployments. Our ambition is simple: shaping the future of medicine.

The Role Our hospital partners are pulling us forward faster than we can go: pilots expand before they formally start, and units ask for more nodes before we offer them. We are looking for the person who turns that pull into a national footprint. As Clinical Expansion Lead, you own how Sentis enters and grows inside hospitals, from the first conversation with an ICU director to IRB approval, deployment and hospital-wide rollout. You will work directly with our founders, Tim Topper and Christin Seltmann, and build this function from the ground up.

What You Will Do Open doors across the hospital. You bring deep relationships in the hospital setting, from ICU medical directors and nurse managers to CNOs, CMIOs and innovation leaders, and you use them to get Sentis into the right rooms. You know how a hospital actually makes decisions and who needs to say yes.

Drive expansion at speed and scale. Speed and scale are your number one priority. You own the path from first conversation to live deployment, and from one unit to every unit, every site and every health system in the network. You find the champions, build the momentum and turn every successful pilot into the next three.

Lead clinical studies. You design, initiate and run IRB studies together with our clinical partners, from protocol and submission to site coordination and execution. You understand what IRBs need, anticipate their questions and keep studies moving on schedule.

Build Sentis' presence in critical care. You represent Sentis at the major conferences and within the associations that shape critical care, such as SCCM, AACN, CHEST, AHA and HIMSS, and you turn that presence into partnerships, studies and pipeline.

Bring the voice of the ICU into the company. You are on the ground, at the bedside and on the unit, talking to the nurses, physicians and staff who work with Sentis every day. You capture what works, what does not and what they need next, and you turn that feedback into direction that shapes our product, deployments and strategy. Every hospital that works with Sentis becomes a reference for the next one.

What Makes This Different You will operate in a setup few people ever get access to. Sentis is guided by world-class advisors, including the former Chief Marketing Officer of pharma giant Merck, which puts you in direct reach of some of the most accomplished people in healthcare, life sciences and AI. Their networks open doors that usually take a career to unlock, and their experience sharpens every move we make. For the right person, this is a once-in-a-career opportunity: to build the clinical engine of the company that defines health AI, alongside people who have done it at the highest level.

Christin has scaled and sold a company before, holds a Harvard MBA and brings years at McKinsey and Siemens. Tim started as a paramedic, where he saw firsthand how missing data at the bedside can put a patient's life at risk, and went on to AWS, Columbia and Stanford.

You would not be joining a sales team; you would be building the clinical go-to-market of a category-defining company, with the ownership, equity and influence that come with being early.

You Might Be a Fit If

• You have 5+ years of experience in the hospital environment, ideally with a medical device manufacturer, and a track record of selling capital equipment or monitoring solutions into hospitals.
• You have a network in critical care: ICU leaders, intensivists and ICU nurses who take your call.
• You have designed or led IRB-approved clinical studies and know the process from protocol to publication.
• You are connected to the major critical care conferences and associations and have represented a company there.
• You understand hospital buying, from value analysis and procurement to biomed reviews, and you know how to find the fastest path through it without losing anyone along the way.
• You combine clinical credibility with commercial drive. A clinical background (RN, RT or similar) is a strong plus.
• You are comfortable building from scratch in an early-stage company, without a playbook or a large team behind you.
• You are based in the US, authorized to work here without visa sponsorship and able to travel extensively to hospital sites and conferences.

Compensation $160,000 to $190,000 base salary, plus performance-based variable compensation tied to pilots and deployments (on-target earnings $230,000 to $280,000), and meaningful early equity.

Next Steps We move fast and aim to complete our hiring process within a few weeks: an intro call, a working session on a real Sentis expansion case, and a conversation with both founders. If you want to bring the data foundation of health AI into every ICU in the country, we would love to hear from you.
