Location: Brooklyn, NYC (3 days in-office) - Remote considered for exceptional candidates
Team: Commercial (Reporting to CEO)
We9re hiring a senior leader to own relationships with EHRs, and clinical workflow platforms that embed Photon9s prescribing infrastructure into their products. This is the distribution side of our business. Our Marketplace team builds the pharmacy network patients choose from, and this role builds the surface area where prescriptions originate.
We9re live and scaling to 100K+ physician users with our first major platform partner. We need someone who can replicate that model across the health IT landscape: Epic, Athena, telehealth platforms, clinical decision support tools, and other systems where prescribing happens. You9ll be selling Photon as infrastructure: a modern prescribing layer that platforms integrate to give their users transparent, patient-friendly prescription routing.
The ideal candidate has deep relationships across health IT, understands how clinical platforms evaluate and adopt third-party integrations, and has closed complex, multi-stakeholder partnerships. You should be as comfortable navigating a long enterprise sales cycle with a major EHR as you are moving quickly on a high-potential platform deal.
This is a high-ownership role reporting directly to the Founder/CEO.

- Represent Photon at industry events, conferences (HIMSS, ViVE, HLTH), and in partner-facing settings
- Track and report on partnership pipeline, integration milestones, and revenue contribution from platform channels
Qualifications- 10+ years in strategic partnerships, business development, or enterprise sales in healthcare technology, with significant experience selling to or partnering with EHR platforms
- Deep understanding of the health IT ecosystem including how EHRs, ePrescribing systems, and clinical platforms evaluate, procure, and integrate third-party solutions
- Established relationships with decision-makers at major EHR vendors, health IT platforms, or clinical workflow companies
- Proven track record of closing complex, multi-stakeholder enterprise partnerships with long sales cycles
- Strong commercial acumen and experience structuring partnership economics, revenue shares, and integration agreements

- Experience building or scaling a platform partnerships function at an early-stage or growth-stage company
- Familiarity with healthcare interoperability standards (HL7, FHIR, NCPDP SCRIPT) and how they impact integration strategy
- Experience working with Epic, Athena, or other major EHR vendor partnership programs
- Background in marketplace or infrastructure businesses where platform distribution is a core growth lever
