Full Job Description
The Role

You will own the health plan vertical end to end: the pipeline, the relationships, the narrative, and the number. Regional and national commercial payers, Medicare Advantage plans, Medicaid managed care organizations, and third-party administrators.

This is a fulltime role at a company where the product is genuinely new, so you will spend as much time teaching the market what autonomous clinical AI can do as you will running a process. You will report to the Chief Business Officer and work alongside our Chief Medical Officer, who carries the clinical credibility that opens these rooms.

What You'll Do
  • Own pipeline generation and closed contract value for the health plan vertical, with a target of at least four opportunities in contracting or later at any time
  • Build the payer narrative and buyer persona map: total cost of care, access and network adequacy, member engagement, quality measures, and performance in value-based arrangements
  • Run the full cycle, sourcing with business development and marketing, scoping the integration with solutions engineering, and closing with the deal desk
  • Navigate payer procurement and compliance, including security review, diligence questionnaires, corporate practice of medicine considerations, and BAA and DUA negotiation
  • Work with our Chief Medical Officer and research team to turn clinical evidence into payer-ready economic packages
  • Partner with implementation before signature so that what you sell is what we can deliver, on the timeline you committed to
  • Feed vertical requirements into the enterprise product roadmap, and push back on one-off builds that will not repeat
  • Grow accounts after launch alongside customer success, because expansion inside a plan matters more to us than net-new logos
What We're Looking For
  • 10+ years selling into health plans, including multi-year enterprise contracts you personally closed and carried a number against
  • Verifiable relationships with payer economic buyers: chief medical officers, VPs of clinical operations and network, and digital health or innovation leaders
  • Fluency in payer economics and the vocabulary that goes with it: PMPM, risk adjustment, medical loss ratio, capitation, shared savings and value-based contracting
  • A track record of selling clinical credibility rather than features, and the judgment to know which evidence a given buyer actually needs
  • Comfort selling a product that is still moving, in a category that regulators are still defining
  • Willingness to travel heavily. Our enterprise buyers do not buy over video alone
  • Based in New York City or willing to relocate. This is a hybrid role
Nice to Have
  • Sold AI, digital health or virtual care into payers specifically
  • Worked inside a health plan, on the buying side of a deal like this one
  • Familiarity with CMS models and care management programs such as ACCESS, APCM, CCM and TCM
  • Experience with co-branded or digital front door deployments inside a plan's member experience
  • Early-stage experience, ideally as one of the first sellers in a vertical
Compensation & Benefits
  • Base salary range: $225-$275k + commission of up to 50% of base
  • Meaningful equity
  • Health reimbursement allowance, support for well-being, and flexible time off
