ABOUT THE ROLE

As a Business Development Lead at Valerie Health, you'll be the first point of contact for the independent provider groups we're serving while you manage a team of BDRs. Your job is to open doors: identify the right prospects, reach them with messaging that actually resonates, and set the stage for our account executives to close.

This isn't a role where you read from a script. Our buyers – practice administrators, COOs, VPs of Operations – are smart, busy, and skeptical. You'll need to understand their world well enough to earn their time, not just request it.

You'll work closely with our GTM team in a fast-moving environment where your ideas, your patterns, and your wins directly shape how we grow, and you'll support a growing team of BDRs to do the same.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

- Own top-of-funnel prospecting: research, prioritize, and contact leads

- Execute personalized, multi-channel outreach (email, phone, LinkedIn, in person visits) that speaks directly to the operational challenges practices face

- Qualify inbound leads and route them efficiently to account executives

- Build and maintain pipeline in HubSpot, keeping records clean and stages accurate

- Partner with the GTM team to refine ICP targeting, test new messaging, and iterate on sequences

- Represent Valerie Health at industry conferences and virtual events

- Share what you're hearing in the field (competitor intel, objections, pain points) to sharpen how we sell

ABOUT YOU

Experience:

- 2+ years of experience in a sales, BDR/SDR, or customer-facing role (B2B preferred)

- Experience in a player-coach role

- Proficiency with CRM tools (HubSpot experience a plus)

- Prior experience at a high-growth startup

- Nice-to-have: Exposure to AI or workflow automation products, healthcare familiarity

Attributes:

- Incredibly Curious: Genuine curiosity about healthcare operations and a desire to understand the problems our customers are solving. You bring warmth and are curious about people.

- Self-Starter & Adaptable: Comfort working in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment where priorities shift and you're expected to figure things out

- Strong Communicator: Clear, confident written and verbal communication

- Growth Mindset: Eagerness to learn new approaches, seek feedback, and continually improve skill sets.

- Action Oriented: Bias to getting things done

WHAT WE OFFER

- The compensation range for this position is between $90,000–$130,000k OTE annually + equity and benefits

- Medical, dental, and vision coverage

- Flexible PTO
