CRICO, a world leader in medical malpractice claims management, loss prevention education and patient safety initiatives, has an opening for a Sales and Marketing Associate.
CRICO has two core components to its mission: (a) protecting providers, and (b) promoting safety. With respect to the latter, we have gone further down that road than any other malpractice insurer by declaring we are “dedicated to creating the safest health care system in the world,” and then putting systems in place to back up our declaration.
Due to our cutting edge propriety coding system, we are able to gather information that allows us to mitigate malpractice claims for our clients. As a result, we are poised to help other healthcare providers analyze their malpractice data in order to decrease the safety risks to patients and minimize malpractice claims. As you can imagine, the value proposition for what we offer lies in both a monetary savings for the provider, mitigated risk, and even more importantly, a safer environment for patients.
Here is where you come in. We need a superstar sales and marketing support person who is able to research, network, and oversee sales operations as we continue to grow. We need you to help us show the heads of large hospitals and systems that what we have to offer, adds value. We need you to create urgency, and most of all; we need you to help us close sales.
