Business Development Associate - NJ

Mavida Health • Jersey City, NJ

8d • Onsite

About The Position

Mavida Health is an online therapy and psychiatry platform focused on supporting women through major transitional moments in life - from PMOS & PMDD through Menopause and everything in between. We provide integrated, evidence-based care through individual, group, and couples therapy as well as medication management, co-founded and led by reproductive psychiatrist Dr. Sarah Oreck.

Now a WPS Healthcare Company, Mavida Health combines the best of both worlds: the speed, autonomy, and impact of a high-growth startup with the resources and reach of a legacy healthcare organization. Our team is small, nimble, and mission-driven, which means ideas move quickly, decisions are made close to the work, and every employee plays a meaningful role in shaping the company's future. As we continue to grow, we're looking for people who are excited to build, innovate, and help redefine women's mental healthcare at scale.

We are looking for a Business Development Associate – New Jersey to support Mavida Health's continued growth, patient acquisition, professional relationship development, and brand awareness throughout the New Jersey market. Working closely with our Northeast Business Development Lead, you will help execute Mavida's regional growth strategy by developing and maintaining relationships with healthcare professionals and community partners across New Jersey. This is a full-time, field-based role with Mavida Health and a great opportunity for someone earlier in their business development career who is excited to build relationships, learn the healthcare landscape, and contribute to expanding access to women's mental healthcare. While we have a multi-channel business development approach, relationships and referrals from professionals such as OB/GYNs, fertility clinics, doulas, midwives, and other healthcare providers are primary drivers of patient acquisition. In this bonus-eligible position, you will help connect women in need of mental health support with Mavida's services while helping us continue to build our presence throughout New Jersey.
