Prepare background research on hospitals, markets, health systems, and key decision makers. Support proposal and presentation preparation as needed. Represent Relias in a way that reflects our culture, professionalism, and physician‑centered mindset. Qualifications 3 or more years of experience in healthcare business development, physician relations, hospital relations, medical sales, healthcare recruiting, healthcare marketing, or another outward‑facing professional relationship role. Strong public‑facing presence and ability to communicate comfortably with hospital leaders, physicians, executives, and community stakeholders. High emotional intelligence and ability to build trust quickly. Willingness and ability to travel regularly. Strong organizational skills and follow‑up discipline. Experience using a CRM, preferably HubSpot, or the ability to learn quickly. Excellent written and verbal communication skills. Experience in emergency medicine, hospital medicine, physician practice management, hospital‑based services, healthcare staffing, physician recruiting, anesthesia, radiology, or hospital vendor relationships. Existing healthcare relationships in Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, Louisiana, Arkansas, Georgia, Florida, or surrounding markets. Experience attending or coordinating conferences, trade shows, hospital meetings, or healthcare networking events. Experience working with marketing teams on outreach, collateral, social media, brand positioning, or event strategy. Who We Are Looking For We are looking for someone who likes people, presents well, follows through, and knows how to build relationships the right way. Someone who is persistent without being pushy. Someone who can get on the road, tell the Relias story, and help us become more visible in the markets where we want to grow. This person must want to understand our culture, our physicians, and our mission to build a company where clinicians want to practice. #J-18808-Ljbffr
