Summary

Meru Health is looking for a Regional Clinical Sales Representative to build and own provider relationships in the Research Triangle, NC (Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill) area. As we expand our reach, we're looking for an entrepreneurial leader to establish Meru as the go-to mental health resource for providers treating patients during major life transitions - from divorce, to new parenthood, grief, health diagnoses, and other significant life changes.

You'll have the autonomy to build provider networks, create local market presence, and drive patient enrollment in your region — with strong team support behind you.
