Manager, Growth Operations

As the Manager, Growth, you will play a critical operational role at the center of Iterative Health's two core growth engines in Cardiology: expanding our sponsor portfolio and scaling our site network. This is a high-visibility, high-impact role for a sharp operator who thrives on process ownership, cross-functional coordination, and getting things done in a fast-moving environment. You will own the internal mechanics of business development — keeping the pipeline moving, deals progressing, and sponsors well-served — while simultaneously driving the operational build-out of new clinical research sites from contract execution through first study activation. The ideal candidate brings a strategic and operational mindset, is energized by variety, and is able to manage multiple workstreams with rigor and speed.

• Own the end-to-end internal business development process from initial sponsor engagement through contract execution, serving as the single internal touchpoint for new contracts
• Keep the business development pipeline organized and visible by maintaining up-to-date reporting on opportunity status, next steps, and deal progression
• Support the Director of Research Partnerships in preparing for key sponsor interactions — developing pitches and proposals, building conference materials, and ensuring the team shows up well-prepared for high-stakes meetings
• Support sponsor account meetings through internal data gathering, performance reporting, and post-meeting follow-through
• Continuously identify opportunities to streamline and improve the business development process to accelerate deal pull-through and reduce time to contract close

• Partner with the Director of Clinical Research to support the end-to-end process of standing up de novo clinical research sites 
• Serve as the operational connective tissue during site stand-up, tracking progress, surfacing blockers, and ensuring all cross-functional inputs come together on schedule
• Work with the Director of Clinical Research to continuously evaluate and improve the site stand-up process — identifying inefficiencies, building out playbooks, and creating repeatable frameworks that scale as the network grows

•  BS/BA or higher degree
• 4+ years of experience in a strategic and operational role, such as management consulting, business operations, or growth/strategy at a high-growth startup
• Demonstrated ability to own and manage complex, cross-functional processes end-to-end with strong attention to detail
•  Excellent organizational skills with experience managing multiple projects and workstreams simultaneously in a fast-paced environment
• Strong communicator with the ability to synthesize information, build materials, and engage effectively with internal and external stakeholders
• Comfortable working with ambiguity and building structure where it doesn't yet exist

• Experience in life sciences, clinical research, or healthcare 
• Familiarity with clinical trial operations, site networks, or sponsor/CRO relationships
