J2 Strategic Solutions Jobs (NOW HIRING)

J2 Interactive is looking to grow our Business Development team to pursue and cultivate new business opportunities in Healthcare IT. You’ll be directly responsible for the development and expansion of our customer base as we continue to diversify our IT product and service offerings. The ideal candidate will be fully capable of acting independently and self-sufficiently, earning the trust of executives and colleagues by being a “doer” not a delegator. Senior candidates with leadership experience (or potential) will be given special consideration.

You must have a strong background in the healthcare IT industry, preferably with a focus on professional services, and a proven track record of driving business growth and forming strategic partnerships. We expect you to be a reliable professional able to qualify and pursue opportunities independently; communicate and collaborate internally with our senior management, solution architects, and delivery teams; and achieve balance between customer advocacy and a results-driven approach.

Your mission will be to find opportunities and turn them into long-term profitable relationships based on trust and mutual success. You’ll be backed up by an award-winning team of over 250 healthcare IT experts with an incredible track record of success with technologies such as InterSystems HealthShare, AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Salesforce.

Though our headquarters is located in Charlestown (Boston), MA, this is a telecommuting position open to anyone who's eligible to work in the US. A certain amount of travel is expected, mostly to conferences, but this does not have to be a travel-heavy position if you can show success selling remotely.

Candidates must be willing to submit to a background check. No recruiters or third party solicitations please.

The ideal candidate is a business-savvy leader who is passionate about healthcare IT with proven experience selling consulting services and solutions to prospective customers. This position offers a unique opportunity to make a significant impact on our growth and success in the healthcare sector, so you must have the domain expertise and interpersonal skills to develop and maintain relationships with key stakeholders. A high-level understanding of healthcare technology (integration / HIE platforms such as InterSystems HealthShare, EHR platforms such as Epic and Cerner, cloud platforms such as AWS and Azure, etc.) is also very valuable but not strictly necessary.
