SDR, 1099 Contract Role

Virta Health is on a mission to reverse metabolic disease in one billion people. Current treatment approaches aren’t working—over half of US adults have either type 2 diabetes or prediabetes, and obesity rates are at an all-time high. Virta is changing this by helping people reverse their metabolic condition through innovations in technology, personalized nutrition, and virtual care delivery reinvented from the ground up. We have raised over $350 million from top-tier investors, and partner with the largest health plans, employers, and government organizations to help their employees and members restore their health and take back their lives. Join us on our mission to reverse metabolic disease in one billion people.

As an SDR (Sales Development Representative), you will be a key driver of growth, bringing our life-saving metabolic reversal solution to employers and benefits leaders. You will empower three Sales Directors by building the pipeline necessary to scale Virta’s mission and impact. This position is excellent for skilled enterprise SDRs who are adept at B2B sales and want to go deeper in digital health while actively working to change the course of chronic disease in America.
