Business Development Lead

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.

Mavida Health currently provides in-network mental healthcare services to patients across California, New York, New Jersey, and Texas. We partner with major insurance providers, including Aetna, Cigna/Evernorth, UnitedHealthcare/Optum, Blue Shield of California, and Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield, to help make high-quality women's mental healthcare more accessible.

What are we looking for? 

We are looking to grow our Business Development Team to support organizational growth, patient acquisition, professional relationship management, and brand awareness.

This is a full-time role with Mavida Health; you will have a rare opportunity to help build and define our organization as we combat the maternal mental health crisis.

While we have a multi-channel BD approach, relationships and referrals from professionals such as OB/GYN’s, Fertility clinics, Doulas, etc. are primary drivers of customer acquisition.

In this bonus-eligible position, you will help connect those who are in need of mental health support to our services. 

Ideal candidates have existing connections in OB/GYN, Pediatrics, Family Medicine, Maternal Fetal Medicine, Mental Health, Labor and Delivery, Midwifery, and other related and similar professions.

The business development lead will:

• Generate referrals from OB/GYNs, midwives, doulas, lactation consultants, and other healthcare partners through prospecting, relationship building, and account management
• Serve as our “Boots on the Ground” in your territory
• Document all activities in HubSpot and provide regular market updates to leadership
• Achieve monthly referral and admission targets (specifics TBD with leadership)
• Represent Mavida at local conferences or events when available
• Be comfortable wearing multiple hats - even those that don’t fit squarely and traditionally within your job description

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree, with 3+ years of experience working in sales, specifically in healthcare, pharma, or behavioral health, with proven results
• Self-starter with a “no problem is too big or too small” attitude
• Located in Austin, TX or within commuting distance
• Must have reliable transportation and be able to visit practices in person 
• Strong networking skills to connect with providers, professionals, and stakeholders with an existing book of business with professionals in the health space
• Ability to build and execute a strategic sales plan
• Comfort with CRMs or HubSpot specifically
• Strong writing and communication skills
• Excellent attention to detail
• Passion for women’s healthcare, maternal healthcare, and/or mental healthcare - and the desire and drive to change the dismal status quo

KPIs:

• Monthly activity goals
• Monthly admissions goals

Travel & Expenses

This is a field-based role requiring regular travel throughout the assigned local market, with approximately 3–4 days per week spent visiting healthcare practices and building professional relationships in person.

• Mileage Reimbursement: Reimbursement at the current IRS standard mileage rate for business-related travel.
