About Avive:

Avive Solutions, Inc. (https://avive.life) is a growth stage Automated External Defibrillator (AED) company with a connected response system that is rapidly gaining market share. We are a mission driven team that is quite literally saving lives. Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) is a leading cause of death in the United States, and we are on a mission to change that! We are a dynamic organization that builds elegant, creative solutions to solve complex problems. Ultimately, our mission is for all cardiac arrest victims to have rapid access to life-saving defibrillation.

Avive is taking a fresh approach to addressing this decades-old problem by innovating AED technology, coupled with a first-of-its-kind software platform solution to enable a quicker and more streamlined response to SCA emergencies. We believe that this unique combination of deploying advanced – yet still accessible – hardware, and software, has the potential to revolutionize out-of-hospital cardiac arrest response and massively impact SCA survival rates.

About the Role:

We are seeking a full-time Community Programs Specialist to drive growth within a defined territory by identifying, qualifying, and closing new business opportunities across multiple community oriented sales verticals. This mission-critical role requires a motivated, experienced self-starter with a proven track record in outside sales—someone who thrives on building relationships, solving problems, and making a meaningful impact from day one on the job.

As one of the first points of contact for our company, you will engage directly with prospective customers through outbound calls, emails, in-person visits, and product demonstrations. Success in this role requires a strong mix of territory management, technical aptitude, and interpersonal excellence. You’ll need to be curious, coachable, and resilient—someone who can quickly learn our solutions, navigate objections with empathy, and communicate our mission with clarity and conviction.

If you're passionate about community health and safety, confident in your ability to develop strategic relationships, and energized by the opportunity to help save lives through innovative products and services, we’d love to hear from you.
