The Role

We’re looking for a motivated, persistent, business development-minded individual who can build relationships with payors, from initial outreach and articulation of Ophelia’s value proposition through contract negotiation and finalization. This person will also be responsible for maintaining and building upon relationships with payors post-contracting in order to drive payor-led growth through initiatives such as building referral partnerships and collaborative marketing initiatives. 

The successful candidate will have experience in payor-facing business development, contracting, and relationship management, preferably in the mid-Atlantic region. This experience should include pre-existing relationships with at least several payors in the mid-Atlantic region and/or nationally.

• 10 years experience with the following components:
• 5 years selling into and negotiating with payors, with pre-existing relationships that can be drawn upon
• 3 years working with managed care contracts
• 2 years in other applicable roles either within a payor, or with a health system or large provider that contracted with health plans (clinical operations, finance, etc.)
