Business Office Director - Healthcare jobs in Connecticut

“Director, Business Development (Healthcare Providers)”

(U.S. Remote Optional – Preference for New England base candidates – Travel as Needed)

COMPANY OVERVIEW

Lincoln Healthcare Leadership currently produces four annual conferences in healthcare services across three areas: home-based care, senior living and long-term care. Our conferences, each of which are imbued with our unique advisory insights, serve C-level management of a large contingent of leading providers in each segment. During Covid-19, the “Lincoln Intelligence Group” was launched as an advisory services division aimed at ongoing operational improvement of leading organizations in home care. Lincoln Intelligence Group currently focuses on the home care sector, with plans for other sector-specific groups.

Through these very influential conferences, as well as a migration of company scope toward advisory services, Lincoln intends to have an increasingly meaningful impact on the quality and effectiveness of senior care in the U.S. 

Since 1998, Lincoln has developed a reputation for unusually high quality of content, C-level networking, and onsite experience. As we move into deeper advisory content, Lincoln’s vision to provide both exceptional healthcare intelligence and networking is becoming meaningfully enhanced. As is our educational mission, which is to inspire excellence in leadership, strategy, and innovation, and to encourage healthcare providers to move towards value.

Lincoln aims to be an employer of choice, highly prioritizing colleagues’ job satisfaction, well-being, and career development. We offer flexibility in virtual vs. in-person work (averaging half time in the office, half time remote), competitive compensation and health benefits, and very progressive policies in vacation time, parental leave, and sabbatical leave.

Lincoln aims to model a very socially and environmentally conscious organization for clients. We have started to take steps to minimize our carbon footprint – for example, we plant 8 trees per year for each of our conference attendees. Today, there are 25-30 employees, and the company is based in Southport, CT.
