Business Development Manager

Location: Hartford, CT | Type: Full-time | Schedule: Monday–Friday

Are you ready to combine your passion for healthcare with your talent for building relationships? At IVX Health, we are transforming the way infusion and injection therapy is delivered for patients with chronic conditions like Rheumatoid Arthritis, Crohn’s Disease, and Multiple Sclerosis. We are looking for a driven, relationship-focused Business Development Manager (BDM) to expand our presence nationwide by connecting healthcare providers and patients to a better infusion care experience.

If you’re passionate about making a real difference in the lives of patients while achieving professional success, this is the opportunity for you!

About the Role

The Business Development Manager (BDM) is a critical part of the IVX Health team, serving as the face of our organization. This is a Monday through Friday, road warrior role, focused on traveling within the assigned territory to visit referring providers at their brick-and-mortar locations. The BDM will work directly with referral coordinators, physicians, nurses, and healthcare providers to educate them on our services, build meaningful relationships, and drive referrals for infusion therapy patients.

We Are Looking For Someone Who

• Thrives on Building Relationships: You’re a natural networker who enjoys connecting with healthcare providers and becoming a trusted advisor.
• Is Driven to Succeed: You have a competitive spirit and take pride in achieving and exceeding goals.
• Makes an Impact: You’re passionate about healthcare and want to play a key role in improving the patient experience.
• Is a Strategic Thinker: You enjoy creating tailored solutions and strategies to grow a market and expand relationships.
• Loves to Collaborate: You work well with teams, from providers and pharmaceutical reps to internal colleagues, to drive results.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop Long-Term Provider Relationships: Build and nurture trust-based relationships with healthcare providers, ensuring they view IVX Health as a valued partner in patient care.
• Consultative Sales Approach: Focus on relationship-building rather than transactional selling. Educate providers about IVX Health’s benefits and how we can support their patients’ infusion therapy needs over the long term.
• Strategic Growth: Increase patient referrals by fostering deep connections with providers, identifying new referral sources, and attending local networking events.
• Targeted Outreach: Engage with specialists such as rheumatology, gastroenterology, and neurology, positioning yourself as a trusted advisor rather than a one-time sales representative.
• Community Engagement: Plan and execute local events, such as grab-and-go luncheons and office drop-ins, to strengthen provider relationships and enhance brand awareness.
• Collaborate with Teams: Work closely with the marketing team to share local events and patient engagement stories, and maintain active social media visibility to support relationship development.
• Liaison Between Providers and Operations: Act as a key resource to ensure a seamless onboarding experience for referring practices and their patients.
• Industry Partnerships: Build collaborative relationships with pharmaceutical reps and other stakeholders to support a consistent and trusted referral pipeline.
• Stay Organized: Utilize CRM tools as a strategic resource to plan, organize, and strategize sales efforts, ensuring accurate and timely records are maintained in reporting platforms.

Why You'll Love IVX Health

At IVX Health, we believe in taking care of our team just as much as we take care of our patients. Here’s what we offer:

• Comprehensive Healthcare: Medical, dental, and vision coverage, plus telemedicine services.
• Flexible Savings Options: Health Savings Accounts (HSA) and Health Reimbursement Arrangements (HRA).
• Family Support: Fertility and family-building resources.
• Professional Development: Tuition reimbursement, CEU access, and career advancement opportunities.
• Generous Benefits: Disability coverage, life insurance, 401(k) matching, charitable giving programs, and referral bonuses.

• Healthcare Expertise: Strong working knowledge of managed care plans, insurance carriers, referral and precertification processes, and documentation guidelines.
• Industry Knowledge: Interest or experience in the pharmaceutical and/or healthcare industry is highly desirable.
• Customer-Centric Mindset: Exceptional customer service skills with a competitive, customer-focused attitude.
• Organizational Excellence: Outstanding organizational skills and meticulous attention to detail.
• Collaborative Spirit: Proven ability to effectively collaborate with internal teams and external stakeholders at all levels.
• Technical Proficiency: Proficient in standard office software applications, including Internet browsers, Outlook, and Microsoft Office Suite.

REQUIRED EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE

• Educational Background: Bachelor’s Degree in Business or a related field, or equivalent years of relevant experience.

About Achievement First

Achievement First (AF) is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization supporting 39 public charter schools across New York, Connecticut, and Rhode Island. For more than 25 years, AF has been recognized as one of the top tuition-free public charter school networks in the country. We are committed to creating schools of academic excellence within nurturing environments — schools that prepare students to be college-ready and to pursue and succeed in whatever paths they choose in life.

The majority of AF students are Black and Latinx children from low-income families, many of whom will be the first in their families to graduate from college. Across our network, we employ more than 2,200 staff members — 64% of whom identify as Black, Indigenous, or People of Color — who collectively educate nearly 15,000 students in Brooklyn and Queens, NY; New Haven, Bridgeport, and Hartford, CT; and Providence and Cranston, RI.

Our mission is to prepare every student to excel in college, career, and life; deepen their understanding of self and community; and lead lives of purpose. We believe in the limitless potential within our students and their power to shape a more just society. That belief drives our deep commitment to student achievement: we aim to set a high bar for learning and create warm, demanding classrooms where rigorous instruction is paired with the care, encouragement, and consistency every student deserves.
