Reports to: Chief Commercial Officer
Why This Role Matters:

Verana Health has created the industry's most formidable specialty-focused Real-World Data (RWD) engine. This role is at the heart of our next phase of growth. As the Director of Channel Sales & Ecosystems Partnerships, you won't just be managing partners; you will be the architect of an ecosystem that delivers high-quality, longitudinal data across Oncology, Ophthalmology, Urology, and Neurology. By scaling our reach through strategic partners-including CROs, consulting firms, and technology platforms-you will directly accelerate the pace of clinical innovation and improve patient outcomes on a global scale.
What You Get to Do:
• Architect the Ecosystem: Advance the company's partner programs to the next level including managing a high-performance channel strategy that leverages Verana's therapeutic breadth.
• Drive Revenue through Leverage: Identify, recruit, and manage a portfolio of high-value partners to meet and exceed indirect sales targets.
• Enable Partner Success: Act as the primary evangelist for Verana's data assets, creating "Partner-in-a-Box" resources and training programs that empower partners to sell Verana effectively.
• Navigate Complex Deals: Lead negotiations for data-sharing, white-labeling, and integrated service agreements with top-tier global CROs and data aggregators.
• Establish Partner GTM Strategies: Drive new partner technology and data strategies while collaborating with Product to fuel future revenue growth.
• Collaborate Across the Business: Work closely with Product, Marketing, & Legal teams to ensure our partners are trained on Verana's latest RWD assets, co-promote materials to life sciences customers, & maintain contractual relationships.
• Monitor & Optimize: Track channel performance metrics and pipeline health, providing the CCO and executive leadership with clear visibility into partner-led growth.
• Manage and Maintain: Cultivate the existing partner relationships and maintain (and renew) the agreements as the business needs evolve.
Skills and Experience that Will Help You Succeed:

• The Post-Merger Mindset: You are comfortable in a fast-paced, evolving environment and have a "builder" mentality.
• Therapeutic Fluency: You have a deep understanding of the RWD landscape, with specific familiarity in Oncology and at least one other Verana specialty (Ophthalmology, Urology, or Neurology).
• The Rolodex: You bring existing, high-level relationships within the "Big 5" CROs and major Life Science consulting firms and data companies (e.g., ZS Associates, IQVIA, Komodo, AWS, Aetion/DataVant).
• Technical Savvy: You understand the "plumbing" of health data-specifically tokenization, de-identification (HIPAA), and how data flows through clean rooms and APIs.
• Strategic Storytelling: You can take complex, curated datasets and turn them into a compelling commercial narrative that resonates with executive-level stakeholders.
Essential Requirements:
• Professional Tenure: 10+ years of experience in Business Development, Channel Sales, or Strategic Partnerships within the HealthTech or Life Sciences data sectors.
• Proven Track Record: A history of consistently meeting or exceeding multi-million dollar sales quotas through indirect/channel motions.
• Industry Knowledge: Deep expertise in Real-World Data (RWD) & Real-World Evidence (RWE) and how it is utilized across the drug development lifecycle (from feasibility to post-market surveillance).
• Education: Bachelor's degree in Business, Life Sciences, or a related field (MBA or advanced degree preferred).
• Travel: Ability to travel as needed (approx. 25%) to partner sites and industry conferences to represent the Verana Health brand and differentiated capabilities.
