Head of B2B (m/f/d)

About Hilo by Aktiia

High blood pressure is the world’s most common disease, causing 18 million deaths each year. At Hilo by Aktiia, our vision is a world where no lives are lost or damaged from the effects of high blood pressure, and our mission is to build the technology that helps people control it.

We are a venture-backed scale-up that has raised over $96M. Our technology, rooted in 18 years of research at the Swiss Center for Electronics and Microtechnology (CSEM), is the world’s only medically accurate, cuffless, continuous blood pressure monitor for daily life. It is CE Marked as a Class IIa medical device and was FDA-cleared in 2026 as the first cuffless OTC blood pressure monitor in the United States. We are remote-first, headquartered in Neuchâtel, Switzerland.

Role Overview

As Head of B2B for Hilo Professional, you will lead and scale one of our most important growth opportunities.

This is a rare opportunity to own a business within the business. You will be responsible for building the commercial engine behind Hilo Professional, driving revenue growth, establishing strategic partnerships, and shaping how healthcare professionals and healthcare organisations engage with Hilo across Europe.

The foundations are already in place: a live pipeline, an activation framework, and several opportunities already in motion. Your challenge is to turn that foundation into a repeatable, scalable, and predictable commercial business.

This is a highly visible role with regular interaction across the leadership team and significant influence on Hilo's future growth.

Location: Germany or UK preferred. Remote within Europe.

Travel: Regular travel is expected for customer meetings, industry events, conferences, and company gatherings.
