About the position

Propelus simplifies workforce compliance management across healthcare. Our innovative technology and strategic partnerships empower millions of professionals, their employers, and regulators to work together, creating a connected and efficient healthcare ecosystem. As a trusted leader for over 20 years, Propelus has focused on bringing more good into the lives of the people and organizations serving healthcare. We deliver seamless compliance solutions to millions. We leverage market-leading technology and essential data to simplify complex operations, reduce risk, and champion a safer, healthier, and happier workforce. We are seeking a relationship-first professional to serve as our Regulatory Partnership Director.

This role is grounded in credibility; taking the time to understand stakeholder priorities and operational challenges, and integrating that insight into the CE Broker solution, and ultimately delivering measurable value. This is a consultative partnership role, not a traditional high-volume sales position.

You will serve as the primary point of contact for assigned state partners, guiding them on how to improve operational efficiency and strengthen compliance.
