As a trusted leader for over 20 years, Propelus has focused on bringing more good into the lives of the people and organizations serving healthcare.

Propelus serves clinicians, licensing boards, and healthcare organizations that rely on accurate licensure and continuing education information. The rules behind that work keep changing across states, agencies, and professional boards.

As External Affairs Manager, you’ll help Propelus stay ahead of those changes. You’ll track legislative and regulatory developments, manage relationships with key healthcare stakeholders, and keep the External Affairs function organized and running smoothly.

• Track legislation, rulemaking, board actions, licensure compacts, and CE requirements across priority states and national bodies.

• Spot developments that affect Propelus, its customers, or its market, and share them with the right teams.

• Turn complex policy into clear summaries, briefings, and talking points.

• Keep legislative calendars, deadlines, and implementation dates current.

• Coordinate with contract lobbyists and manage their agreements, deliverables, and lobbying compliance filings.

• Build relationships with state healthcare associations, workforce centers, educational institutions, and professional organizations.

• Coordinate Propelus’s participation in coalitions, task forces, conferences, and other forums.

• Keep relationship records up to date (contacts, notes, commitments) and make sure follow-ups happen.

• Prepare the VP for external meetings with research, briefing materials, and logistics.

• Run the day-to-day rhythm of External Affairs: priorities, timelines, meetings, events, and deliverables.

• Build repeatable processes, templates, and systems (HubSpot, Quorum) that help the function grow.

• Bring gaps, risks, and decisions that need attention to the VP early.

• Support special projects, including RFPs, events, partner needs, and internal communications.
