Healthcare Partnerships Associate (Remote - Chicago)

📋 Description

• • Join Rula Health, a pioneering force in revolutionizing mental healthcare accessibility, as a Healthcare Partnerships Associate. We are on a mission to destigmatize mental health and ensure that quality, evidence-based, and compassionate care is available to everyone. If you are driven by impact, thrive in dynamic environments, and possess a passion for building crucial relationships that fuel growth, this role is for you.
• • As a remote-first company, we are seeking individuals who can operate autonomously while contributing to a collaborative team culture. This position is specifically tailored for candidates residing in the Greater Chicago Area, requiring a significant commitment to in-person engagement within a defined territory.
• • This is a high-velocity, "boots-on-the-ground" sales role where you will be instrumental in expanding our network of "sold" providers. Your primary responsibility will be to drive patient demand and ensure successful patient starts within your assigned territory. You will own the entire sales cycle, from initial outreach to closing deals, leveraging provided lead lists to conduct aggressive outbound sourcing, consultative selling, and relationship management.
• • A key aspect of this role involves extensive local travel, with a requirement to be in the field at least three days per week. You will be responsible for all in-person selling and relationship management for accounts within a 2.5-hour radius of your major metro area. Simultaneously, you will employ remote selling strategies for accounts situated outside this immediate geographic zone, demonstrating adaptability and a comprehensive approach to market penetration.
• • The mental health crisis is profound, with one in five individuals experiencing a mental health issue and less than half receiving the help they need. Rula Health is at the forefront of addressing this challenge, and we are seeking dedicated professionals with a proven history of overachievement in outbound healthcare sales or business development. If you are hungry to tackle the complexities of a "0 to 1" environment and are committed to making a tangible difference, you will find a rewarding career here.
• • You will be joining a rapidly growing team that has experienced 10x growth in the past year. This is an opportunity to be part of our foundational growth, making a significant impact on critical issues while honing your entrepreneurial skills. Your contributions will directly influence our ability to scale our services and reach more individuals in need.
• • Responsibilities will include identifying and qualifying potential provider partners, conducting compelling sales presentations, negotiating contracts, and onboarding new providers to the Rula Health platform. You will also be responsible for tracking and reporting on sales activities and performance metrics, ensuring alignment with team and company goals.
• • Success in this role requires a proactive approach to lead generation, a deep understanding of the healthcare landscape, and the ability to build trust and rapport with diverse stakeholders, from individual practitioners to larger healthcare organizations.
• • You will collaborate closely with internal teams, including marketing and operations, to ensure a seamless provider experience and to optimize the patient referral process. Your insights from the field will be invaluable in shaping our go-to-market strategies and product development.
• • This role offers a unique opportunity to be at the forefront of innovation in mental healthcare, contributing to a mission-driven organization that values well-being, growth, and impactful work. If you are a self-starter with a passion for sales and a desire to make a difference, we encourage you to apply.
• • The ideal candidate will possess exceptional communication and interpersonal skills, enabling them to effectively articulate Rula Health's value proposition and build strong, lasting relationships. A strategic mindset, coupled with a results-oriented approach, will be essential for navigating the challenges and opportunities of this role.
• • We are looking for individuals who are not afraid to roll up their sleeves, experiment with new approaches, and contribute to building scalable processes. Your ability to adapt to evolving market dynamics and to consistently exceed expectations will be key to your success and the success of Rula Health.
