Pre-Sales Associate

About Founda Health

Every day, doctors and nurses lose time chasing patient information that exists somewhere but isn’t where they need it. Founda Health is changing that. Our interoperability platform lets hospitals, regional networks, clinics, digital health applications, PACS and EHR systems exchange data through open standards like IHE, HL7, FHIR and DICOM. Our mission is to dramatically improve the quality and efficiency of healthcare by making health data available wherever it’s needed.

Our XDS platform already serves more than 50 customers across the Netherlands, Germany and beyond. Our Health Platform with FHIR CDR is the modern API layer we’re building on top of it.

With the European Health Data Space (EHDS) requiring hospitals across Europe to exchange data in the coming years, our work has never mattered more.

We’re headquartered in Amsterdam and work remote-first, with a team of around 80+ people across seven countries.

About the role

As Pre-Sales Associate, you are the operational heart of our brand-new pre-sales team. You make sure that quotations, proposals and tender documents for the Dutch market go out quickly and with high quality, so our sales managers can spend their time where it counts: with customers. This is a junior to mid-level role, ideal if you have a few years of experience in a supporting commercial role and want to take the next step.

You work closely with our sales managers in the Netherlands and our partner team. This is a new role and offers a rare chance to help shape how the team works from day one

What you will do

• Proposals, tenders and partners: You prepare proposals and quotations for new and existing Dutch customers, using our standard templates and contributing content to solution designs created by our solution architects.
• Support tender files, making sure every text, attachment and certification is complete and submitted on time. Over time, you can grow into managing tenders yourself, in the Netherlands or other markets.
• Support our partner managers with proposals, administration and partner onboarding. We aim to send proposals within two working days, and everything is documented in HubSpot, our single source of truth for customer and deal data.
• Making the machine better. You own the library of standard texts, attachments and templates, keep it up to date and suggest improvements based on what you see every day. You bring ideas for using AI and automation to make proposals faster and better.
• Make sure that what Dutch customers and tenders ask for reaches our Product team in a clear, structured way, instead of getting lost in individual deals. You are a true team player and support the team to succeed.

What we are looking for

We’re looking for a junior to mid-level profile: someone who works accurately and quickly, loves structure, and feels at home in a commercial team without having to be the one selling.

What you'll bring

• Experience in sales support, back office, proposals, bid management or a similar role
• Experience with a CRM system, ideally HubSpot
• Native-level Dutch and fluent English (German is a plus)
• Curiosity about AI, which you already use efficiently and responsibly in your daily work

Healthcare or interoperability experience isn’t required. What matters is that you’re comfortable getting to grips with a complex environment and learn quickly. You keep an overview of several deadlines at once, stay calm when a tender peak hits, and spot what needs to happen without waiting to be asked.

What’s in it for you

• Work that matters. Every proposal you send helps hospitals get patient data to the clinicians who need it.
• A team that knows its field. You’ll learn from colleagues who are among the most experienced in healthcare interoperability in Europe.
• Remote-first, with a home base. Work from anywhere in the Netherlands, with our Amsterdam office there when you want to meet the team in person.
• An informal, collaborative culture. Short lines, no unnecessary hierarchy, and colleagues across Sales, Product and Marketing who are happy to help.
• Room to shape and grow. A brand-new team where your ideas directly influence how we work, with a clear path into tender management.
• A competitive salary of €50,000–€65,000 gross per year, including holiday allowance, depending on experience.
