Sales Engineer - Billing

Elation is looking for an Sales Engineer - Billing to partner with our commercial selling teams as the billing and revenue cycle expert throughout the sales process. When prospects have detailed questions about claims workflows, denial management, or billing operations, you'll provide deep expertise, solve problems consultatively, and help close deals.

This is a pre-sales role focused on problem-solving and expertise, not just running demos. You'll conduct discovery with billing managers and practice administrators, translate complex workflows into clear solutions, and build the internal tools and processes that enable our team to sell with confidence.

This is also a builder role. You'll define what this function looks like by creating demo scripts, developing enablement programs, establishing office hours, and partnering with Product Marketing and Product Management to shape our approach. We're looking for someone entrepreneurial who thrives when building something new.

This role reports to the Director of Product Marketing with dotted-line reporting to the sales organization.

What We're Looking For

Must-Haves:

Deep billing and revenue cycle expertise

This is non-negotiable. You can independently lead detailed conversations with experienced billing managers and practice administrators. You understand the end-to-end revenue cycle from a practice perspective: scheduling, charge capture, claims submission, payment posting, denial management, A/R follow-up, and patient collections. You also understand the payer side: claims processing, denial reasons, eligibility verification, ERA/EOB, timely filing, and payer rules. You can explain complex workflows in clear, accessible language.

2-5+ years in a solutions engineering or pre-sales role supporting sales of billing or revenue cycle software

You've done this job before. You've successfully helped sales teams close deals and drive revenue by providing specialized expertise, conducting discovery, and solving complex problems. You're valued for your subject matter knowledge and ability to translate technical workflows into business solutions that impact the bottom line.

Experience selling to medical practices

You've worked with primary care, specialty practices, or small independent physician groups. You understand practice operations and what matters to practice owners, administrators, and billing managers. You know how to sell to multiple stakeholders and build consensus across a buying committee.

Builder and entrepreneurial mindset

You're comfortable defining a new role. You don't need a playbook handed to you. You can create processes, build programs, and establish best practices in a fast-paced environment where things are still taking shape.

Quick learner and problem solver

You're adaptable and can quickly identify what's needed, then figure out how to deliver it. You're open to feedback and can adjust your approach based on what the team needs. You're a collaborator who supports AEs rather than overshadowing them.

AI enthusiast

You're excited about AI in healthcare and can position AI-powered billing as an opportunity (not a threat). You're comfortable learning new technology and explaining it to skeptical audiences.

Nice-to-Haves:

• Previous sales or account executive experience before transitioning to solutions engineering
• Deep payer-side expertise beyond working knowledge (claims processing, denial management, payer rules, coding)
• Experience with value-based care or alternative payment models
• Deep understanding of the outpatient billing and revenue cycle solutions in the healthcare market landscape

• Adaptable: You thrive in fast-paced environments where priorities shift
• Coachable: You're open to feedback and can adjust your approach based on what the team needs
