Job description

Description

Who We Are 
Aurrera Health Group is a mission-driven national health policy, strategy, and operations consulting firm with deep expertise designing and administering public programs, including Medicaid, Medicare, behavioral health, trauma-informed care, and other safety net programs. Much of our firm’s work is in California, but our clients span state and federal Medicaid agencies, county/local health services departments, health care foundations, consumer advocacy organizations, hospitals, health systems, and trade associations. 
 
Aurrera Health Group is a woman-owned firm guided by our commitment to our mission – advancing access to affordable, comprehensive, equitable, high-quality health coverage and care – and our values. We select our clients, projects, and staff in keeping with that mission. We pride ourselves on our relationship-driven approach to customer service, our ability to adapt to changing landscapes, and our innovative spirit. We value and reward the quality of work we do for clients and support a range of efforts to ensure that employees can enjoy a healthy work-life balance. We are committed to the growth and professional development of all our staff. 
 
A key organizational priority is our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion, and ensuring that is reflected both in our internal culture and through our client work. Our values guide us in all that we do. 
  
What We Do 
Our Business Development team secures new opportunities and partnerships that extend Aurrera Health’s impact nationwide. 
  
What You’ll Do 
  • Coordinate priority business development initiatives for the Vice President who manages Strategic Growth. 
  • Lead multi-disciplinary proposal teams and craft compelling proposals, including both technical and business components. 
  • Develop materials and engage with priority partners and prospective clients to advance new business opportunities. 
  • Handle sensitive company information with a high level of confidentiality. 
  • Track market signals; brief executives on high-value leads. 
  • Evolve infrastructure to improve internal business development efficiency.  
  • Translate evolving executive direction into clear action plans. 
Required Qualifications 
  • Bachelor’s + 8 years BD / partnership experience or Master’s + 6; JD + 5; PhD + 4. 
  • Demonstrated success managing complex proposals projects and partner relationships in the field of health policy. 
  • Proven ability to “manage up” to senior executives and adapt to shifting priorities 
  • Strong project management skills. 
  • Experience with Medicaid, Medicare, or safety-net programs. 
Fit for this Role 
Our consulting work relies on deep health-policy expertise and client-facing consulting experience. Strong candidates for this role will have Medicaid or state/federal policy experience from working in government, as a consultant, with an association, or research group. Backgrounds generally not aligned to this role include: 
  • Clinical or case-management roles seeking a first move into policy consulting 
  • Behavioral-health/therapy positions without policy analysis or financing work 
  • Health-industry product marketing, sales, or account-management (e.g., pharmaceutical, medical-device, or provider-network sales) 
  • Hospital or health-system operations focused solely on internal service delivery (e.g., revenue-cycle, clinical operations) 
  • Vendor implementation/project roles without policy, business development, or strategic advisory responsibilities. 
If your experience already includes policy analysis, business development, or strategic advisory work—and you can demonstrate the core competencies for the role—we encourage you to apply. 
  
Location 
We are a fully remote organization and candidates from all areas of the country are encouraged to apply. Occasional travel to company events, meetings, and client sites may be required, but the primary workstation for this position will be remote.  
  
As a national firm, the Aurrera Health Group team works across four time zones. Aurrera Health will work with candidates to establish a schedule of core work hours that meets the employee and the firm’s needs. 

Compensation and Benefits

Aurrera Health Group offers competitive salaries based on industry standards and experience, skills, and responsibility. We maintain equitable pay bands for employees based on these factors. The starting pay range for this position is $105,000 to $125,000 per year, with an opportunity for an end-of-year bonus. 
Additionally, Aurrera Health Group offers a comprehensive benefit package, including: 
  • Generous leave program, including company holidays, vacation, sick, parental, and volunteer leave.  
  • Employer-matching 401(k) retirement plan. 
  • Health, vision, dental insurance with generous employer premium contributions, and Flexible Spending Account plans. 
  • Short and long-term disability insurance plans. 
  • Home office and cell phone stipends, charitable donation matching, and other benefits 
Why Join Us? 

Strategic Impact – Help shape growth that drives health policy change. 

Leadership Visibility – Work closely with senior executives and external partners. 

Remote-First Flexibility – Collaborate nationally while maintaining balance.
