Business Development Associate (Government Contracts)

Why Clipboard Health Exists:

We exist to lift as many people up the socioeconomic ladder as possible. We dramatically improve lives, by letting healthcare professionals turn extra time and ambition into career growth and financial opportunity. We achieve this with our app-based marketplace that connects healthcare facilities and healthcare professionals, allowing healthcare professionals to book on-demand shifts and healthcare facilities to access on-demand talent. Our mission is to enable healthcare professionals to work when and where they want, and to enable healthcare facilities to meet their talent needs.

About Clipboard Health:

Clipboard Health is a post-Series C, extremely fast-growing tech startup with classic two-sided network effects, revolutionizing the market for healthcare talent. We are a diverse and inclusive company with a global, remote team. We have been named one of YC’s Top Companies for two years running, and have grown 25x across all key metrics in the last 18 months. There has never been a more exciting time to join our growing team and help us serve even more healthcare professionals and healthcare facilities, who can then better serve patients.

About the Role:

We are looking for a detail-oriented team member to lead our government bid/RFP/RFQ process. The role will be responsible for identifying and evaluating the suitability of requests for bids and proposals, collecting resources and coordinating bid submissions as the project owner, and providing strategic direction and insight on the size of the government contract opportunity, proposal/response best practices, and pricing guidelines. Additionally the role will be responsible for coordinating the successful launch and/or hand off of won contracts.

This is a new role that we believe will open a new revenue stream. We have looked at government contracts briefly, and want to make an investment to win bids and build a scalable process.

Within 90 days a successful candidate will have established a process for identifying and evaluating bids, completed more than 15 bids/proposals, and built relevant ‘stock content’ that includes Clipboard Health differentiators and value propositions for use in bids/proposals.

Beyond the basics, what will make you successful:

• Extreme Ownership: the buck stops with you, no matter what anyone else did or did not do. You take accountability for everything you touch and follow through to make sure deadlines are met.
• Extreme Curiosity: you ask "why" 3-5 times in a row for the same problem, digging and digging and not being satisfied until you truly understand the root cause.
• Detail Oriented: you are passionate about getting documentation correct and making sure our understanding of a complex request is accurate.
• Scrappiness: you look for ways through problems and refuse to let obstacles derail your progress. You bring solutions and ideas instead of asking ‘what should I do?’.
• You want to work in a fast-paced environment with constant change.

Qualifications

• 1+ years experience in a proposal writing/response role, or similar operational experience
• Excellent written and verbal communication 
• Strong project management skills, with a track record of structuring, owning, and leading business critical initiatives with excellent attention to detail

Benefits:

• Do great work that matters, in healthcare, for customers who could really use your help.
• Move at the speed of your thinking. 
• Competitive pay.
• Unlimited PTO.
• You’ll experience the fast pace of a high-growth tech startup and be the first in your particular role.
