• Track business development activity, opportunities, and projected facility start dates through CRM reporting.
• Consistently meet or exceed established facility growth and revenue objectives.

Collaborate to Deliver Results

• Partner with operations, clinical leadership, recruiting, and credentialing teams to support successful new facility launches.
• Work closely with the Vice President of Business Development to align territory performance with broader organizational growth goals.
• Provide market insights, growth forecasts, and strategic recommendations to leadership.
• Proactively identify and resolve challenges that could impact new business opportunities or implementation timelines.

What We're Looking For

• 7+ years of progressive healthcare business development, sales, or strategic account management experience.
• Proven success securing new business, executing agreements, and consistently achieving growth targets.
• Experience developing relationships with senior healthcare executives, facility operators, and ownership groups.
• Strong understanding of skilled nursing facilities, long-term care, post-acute care, behavioral health, or related healthcare services.
• Experience independently managing a multi-state territory and developing market-specific growth strategies.
• Strong negotiation, presentation, communication, and relationship-building skills.
• Ability to manage complex sales opportunities and multiple priorities with a high degree of independence.
• Experience using CRM platforms to manage sales pipelines, activity, and forecasting.
• Bachelor's degree in business, healthcare administration, marketing, or a related field; equivalent relevant professional experience may be considered.
• Willingness and ability to travel regularly throughout assigned territory.

What Will Set You Apart
