About Ophelia
Are you looking for a role in a company that's solving one of the greatest challenges of our lifetime? Ophelia helps people end their opioid use and restore their quality of life with respect for their time and dignity. Our mission is to make evidence-based treatments for opioid use disorder (OUD) accessible to everyone... and we're looking to bring more people onto our team to help us achieve it.
Ophelia is a venture-backed, healthcare startup that helps individuals with OUD by providing FDA-approved medication and clinical care through a telehealth platform. Our approach is discreet, convenient, and affordable. We've been successfully operating in 14 states for almost four years and we're excited to continue our growth. We are a team of doctors, scientists, startup veterans, and White House advisors, backed by leading technology and healthcare investors working to re-imagine and re-build OUD treatment in America.

- Guide and oversee efforts associated with market research/analysis
Experience
- 10 years experience with the following components:
- 5+ years selling into and negotiating with payors, with pre-existing relationships that can be drawn upon
- 3+ years working with managed care contracts
- 3+ years in B2B sales and brand building (marketing a brand, connecting with intended audiences, and promoting products, going to events, representing the organization); and
- 3+ years working with organizations serving Medicaid and / our SUD populations
- 2+ years in other applicable roles either within a payor, or with a health system or large provider that contracted with health plans (clinical operations, finance, etc.)
Skills
- Track record of driving revenue growth through contracting, proven ability to execute
- Strong leadership abilities, including influencing others to action through trust-based relationship building, thought leadership, candid communication, and a results-oriented approach
- Strategic thinker; able to conduct market research and use results of research to formulate a strategy
