We're looking for an experienced leader to drive growth across our Primary Care, Cardiology, and specialty service lines.

• Develop partnerships with orthopedic and radiology groups, hospitals, and nursing homes.
• Create and grow joint ventures, sister-organization partnerships, and new service lines such as CT Angiography.
• Lead and manage Physician Liaisons: assign territories, approve weekly plans, and do ride-alongs.
• Track referrals in the CRM and report growth to leadership monthly.
• Follow all healthcare compliance rules.

What We're Looking For

• 5+ years of experience in physician relations, physician liaison work, or healthcare partnerships.
• Strong relationships with physicians and hospitals, ideally in North Jersey.
• Proven track record of growing referrals and leading a field team.
• Strategic thinker who is comfortable doing the field work personally.
• Valid driver's license and reliable vehicle.

Compensation

• Competitive base salary plus a performance-based bonus tied to growth goals.
