Why This Role Matters

As a Business Development Associate - Gastroenterology at Iterative Health, you will help build the front end of our growth strategy by identifying, researching, and engaging gastroenterology practices, physician groups, and strategic partnership opportunities across the United States.

This role sits at the intersection of healthcare partnerships, business development, and corporate growth strategy reporting to the VP, Corporate Development. You will partner closely with senior leadership and Corporate Development to help source and develop qualified partnership and acquisition opportunities that support Iterative Health's continued expansion.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who is competitive, organized, intellectually curious, and excited to build a career in healthcare growth, partnerships, or corporate development. Strong performers will have the opportunity to grow into broader roles across partnerships, therapeutic area expansion, and corporate development as the company scales.

• Competitive, self-motivated, and comfortable operating in a fast-paced growth environment
• Intellectually curious with interest in healthcare strategy, partnerships, or corporate development
• Ability to manage multiple priorities and opportunities simultaneously
• Professional presence and ability to communicate effectively with physicians and healthcare executives
• Experience using LinkedIn Sales Navigator, CRM platforms, or outbound prospecting tools preferred
• Healthcare, healthcare services, or clinical research exposure is a plus, but not required

How Success Is Measured

• Consistent generation of qualified partnership opportunities
• Development and maintenance of high-quality target pipelines
• Outbound engagement activity and prospect conversion rates
