- Lead and scale a multistate team
- Recruit, manage, coach, and develop a high-performing team of physician liaisons and business development professionals.
- Establish clear territories, goals, accountability, and consistent expectations across states.
- Create repeatable outreach strategies, training, and relationship-management processes while allowing teams to respond to local market needs.
- Work directly alongside team members in the field to strengthen relationships and improve performance.
- Own business development strategy and performance
- Develop and execute a business development plan aligned with organizational growth goals, clinic expansion, and service capacity.
- Set targets and track performance across referral activity, active referral sources, qualified referrals, and client starts.
- Implement consistent CRM practices, pipeline reporting, forecasting, and executive-level performance reviews.
- Evaluate market opportunities and recommend where to invest people and resources.
- Connect growth with operational execution
- Partner closely with marketing, intake, clinical, and operations leadership to convert referral relationships into successful access to care.
- Align outreach with staffing, payer participation, and service availability in each market.
- Identify and resolve barriers that prevent referred families from starting services.
- Represent Blue Gems ABA at healthcare conferences, industry events, and strategic partnership meetings.

Significant progressive experience in healthcare business development, sales leadership, or strategic partnerships, including senior leadership responsibility.
Demonstrated success building and managing a geographically distributed team across multiple states.
A track record of developing relationships with hospital systems, healthcare networks, physician groups, and senior healthcare decision-makers.
Experience creating the systems, processes, and team structure needed to scale a healthcare services organization.
Strong understanding of referral-driven healthcare growth and the connection between business development, intake, and operations.
Ability to translate strategy into field execution, measurable goals, and clear accountability.
Strong executive presence, relationship-building skills, and negotiation ability.
