Business Development Associate - Cardiology

At Iterative Health, we are transforming clinical research through the power of AI, technology, and human expertise. Iterative Health is a healthcare technology and services company powering the acceleration of clinical research to improve patient outcomes. Through the Iterative Health Site Network — a premier network of 100+ clinical research sites across the US and Europe — we help expand and expedite access to novel therapeutics for patients in need.

As a Business Development Associate at Iterative Health, you will help build the front end of our growth strategy by identifying, researching, and engaging cardiovascular practices, physician groups, and strategic partnership opportunities across the United States.

This role sits at the intersection of healthcare partnerships, business development, and corporate growth strategy reporting to the VP, Corporate Development. You will partner closely with senior leadership and Corporate Development to help source and develop qualified partnership and acquisition opportunities that support Iterative Health’s continued expansion.

This is not a traditional SDR role. While outbound outreach and pipeline generation are core components of the position, the role also provides exposure to healthcare partnerships, market strategy, and corporate development initiatives within a rapidly scaling healthcare organization.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who is competitive, organized, intellectually curious, and excited to build a career in healthcare growth, partnerships, or corporate development. Strong performers will have the opportunity to grow into broader roles across partnerships, therapeutic area expansion, and corporate development as the company scales.

• Research and identify independent groups, physician practices, and strategic partnership opportunities across prioritized markets
• Build outbound target lists and prospecting campaigns to support pipeline generation efforts
• Conduct outbound outreach through email, phone, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, conferences, and additional engagement channels

• Competitive, self-motivated, and comfortable operating in a fast-paced growth environment
• Intellectually curious with interest in healthcare strategy, partnerships, or corporate development
• Ability to manage multiple priorities and opportunities simultaneously
• Professional presence and ability to communicate effectively with physicians and healthcare executives
• Experience using LinkedIn Sales Navigator, CRM platforms, or outbound prospecting tools preferred
• Healthcare, healthcare services, or clinical research exposure is a plus, but not required

Success in this role will be measured through:

• Consistent generation of qualified partnership opportunities
• Development and maintenance of high-quality target pipelines
• Outbound engagement activity and prospect conversion rates
• Accuracy and organization of CRM and pipeline tracking
• Strategic insights and market intelligence contributed to leadership discussions
