Key Responsibilities

Sales Leadership & Team Development

• Lead and coach a pod of Enrollment Advisors (ISRs) across Pennsylvania and Virginia — initially 6–7 reps, scaling based on lead volume and conversion data
• Conduct daily coaching sessions including live call reviews, objection handling practice, and pipeline hygiene enforcement
• Monitor ISR capacity utilization; recommend headcount additions when the team sustains 80%+ capacity for six or more consecutive weeks
• Deliver a fully ramped team, documented conversion baseline, and transferable playbook within 90 days of start

Sales Process Design & Operational Excellence

• Build the inside sales playbook from scratch: call guide, lead SLA framework, objection handling library, and close methodology.
• Enforce the pod model — closers remain in the sales lane; Enrollment Specialists own all post-close processing; protect this separation without exception
• Partner with the Pipeline Coordinator to maintain a <2 hour first-contact SLA on all Tier 1 (Medicaid-confirmed) leads

Performance Management & Conversion Optimization

• Own end-to-end conversion metrics: speed to first contact, lead-to-qualified rate, qualified-to-close rate, and lead-to-enrolled-participant rate
• Maintain the interim lead tracker and deliver weekly conversion reporting to the VP of Operations

Cross-Functional Collaboration & Stakeholder Management

• Serve as the primary liaison to the Salesforce/CRM implementation team.

Strategic Workforce Planning & Scalability

• Monitor ISR capacity utilization; recommend headcount additions when the team sustains 80%+ capacity for six or more consecutive weeks
• Deliver a fully ramped team, documented conversion baseline, and transferable playbook within 90 days of start

Requirements:

• Demonstrated ability to build, document, and enforce a structured sales process that include call guides, SLAs, handoff protocols, etc.
• Proficiency running data-driven coaching: analyzing conversion funnels, identifying rep-level drop-off points, and designing targeted interventions
• Experience recruiting and hiring inside sales reps, including screening for close capability (not just communication skills).
• Ability to design and manage a tiered lead queue and enforce prioritization discipline across a team
• Strong written and verbal communication — able to present conversion data clearly to executive leadership
• CRM proficiency; ability to define system requirements from the sales team's perspective
• Comfort operating in an early-stage, ambiguous environment where tools, processes, and playbooks are built concurrently with execution

Qualifications:

Education: Bachelor's degree in business, communications, healthcare administration, or related field. Substantial professional experience may be considered in lieu of a formal degree.

Experience: Background in a complex, consultative sale requiring buyer education prior to decision (benefits, insurance, healthcare enrollment, or equivalent) required. Experience in Medicaid, long-term services and supports (LTSS), CDPAP, home and community-based services (HCBS), or Fiscal Intermediary operations is preferred. Experience in a private equity-backed or high-growth company environment with executive-level program governance expectations preferred.
