The Opportunity:

We’ve proved Blueberry Pediatrics can reduce ER utilization by 40-50%, resulting in massive savings for health plans and organizations that take on risk for their patients. We’re now looking for a high performing salesperson to come in and accelerate our Medicaid managed care sales.

As our resident expert in health plan sales, you’ll work to build out a sales playbook that our growing revenue organization will use as we scale. You will roll up your sleeves and work directly with our future managed care clients as an individual contributor while also managing a small team of former healthcare execs who fill our pipeline (and your calendar). As we grow, so will this role.

If you thrive in fast-paced startup environments, crave extreme ownership, and are passionate about ensuring every family has access to high quality pediatric care, read on!
