The RoleAs Head of Data Partnerships, you will help scale Kinetic's healthcare partnerships function.
You will identify, negotiate, close, and manage partnerships with health systems, medical groups, specialty practices, data networks, and other organizations that can provide access to high-value healthcare data for AI model training, evaluation, and research.
What You'll Do- Develop Kinetic's data acquisition and partnership strategy across hospitals, medical groups, specialty networks, registries, payers, and adjacent RWD vendors.
- Identify and prioritize high-value data partners based on clinical relevance, modality coverage, data quality, scale, rights, and feasibility
- Create the initial partner pipeline, outbound motion, pitch materials, CRM process, diligence checklist, and success metrics.
- Work closely with researchers and engineers to align data with overall research agendas
Who You Are- You have 5+ years of experience in healthcare partnerships, business development, data licensing, RWD, health tech, life sciences data, provider strategy, or enterprise healthcare sales.
- You have directly sourced, negotiated, or managed complex partnerships with health systems, provider groups, payers, EHR vendors, data vendors, life sciences companies, or research networks.
- You understand healthcare data: EHR data, claims, notes, imaging, labs, registries, FHIR/HL7, de-identification, tokenization, data quality, governance, and the practical messiness of getting data out of clinical systems.
- You can credibly discuss HIPAA, de-identification, DUAs, BAAs, IRB/research review, data governance, information security review, and commercial data licensing structures.
- You have strong executive presence and can build trust with health system C-suites, general counsel, privacy officers, clinical informatics leaders, research leaders, and data governance committees.
- You are scrappy, high-agency, and willing to do unglamorous work: cold outbound, conference follow-up, contract redlines, data dictionaries, partner Q&A, procurement portals, and last-mile operational details.
