Sales Specialist - June 2021 Start

INTRODUCTION

First, we invite you to take a pause.  You just took the first step on a potential new career path and that should be celebrated. 

Second, it is important to us that you know at Alegeus we are intentional about cultivating a diverse and inclusive culture. We challenge one another to recognize biases, honor our identities and celebrate our differences – these values enrich our workplace and drive our business forward. We recognize that our bold vision of transforming the healthcare industry requires the perspectives, experiences, talents, skills and passions of a diverse population. We believe that if our consumers come from all walks of life, so should we.

Alegeus is dedicated to promoting fairness and equality across all identities and our Inclusive Innovation committee holds us true to our commitment. Apply with confidence that you are joining an organization – a family – that is steadfast in making a difference.

Finally, if you are interested in any of the bullet points below – just apply! We don’t expect our applicants to be a cookie-cutter match to the job descriptions we post, and we certainly don’t expect you to know everything. We would much prefer driven individuals who are willing to learn than someone with 100 years of experience, but no passion for what they do. We know potential when we see it. So, take a chance and roll the dice; you might just find yourself landing your dream job.
