Job Description

This is a high-impact commercial leadership role for someone who wants to shape how payers adopt clinical services, utilization management capabilities, and technology-enabled solutions. You will partner with senior leaders across payer organizations to solve complex operational and clinical challenges that influence cost, quality, member experience, and business performance.

About the role:

  • Own and grow strategic payer relationships by helping clients adopt clinical services, utilization management capabilities, and technology-enabled solutions that improve performance across domain operations, clinical operations, and medical management.
  • Build trusted relationships with senior leaders, understand their priorities, and translate those priorities into high-value solutions that drive growth and long-term partnership.
  • Lead disciplined account management by aligning internal teams, driving executive business reviews, monitoring performance, resolving risks, and serving as a steady escalation point for clients and stakeholders.
  • Create growth by shaping solutions across clinical services, care management, utilization management, and technical capabilities, and by expanding into new business units, stakeholders, and strategic opportunities.
  • Partner closely with sales, operations, product, legal, and solutioning teams to turn complex client needs into compelling offerings and durable business results.

You may be a good fit if you have:

  • Deep experience in account management, business development, or strategic solution sales within healthcare, ideally with strong exposure to payer clinical operations, medical management, or domain operations.
  • A track record of creating and growing opportunities inside large, complex client organizations where trust, timing, and executive influence matter.
  • Success selling clinical services, utilization management, care management, or technology-enabled operational solutions to health plans and other payer organizations.
  • A clinical background is strongly preferred, especially RN licensure and nursing experience in utilization management, case management, or related payer-facing clinical functions.
  • A strong grasp of payer operating models and the ability to position analytics, software, platform-enabled services, and clinical operations solutions in a way that resonates with both business and clinical leaders.
  • Exceptional communication skills, strong commercial judgment, and the ability to bring structure and clarity to complex conversations.
  • Confidence operating with stakeholders at every level, including senior executives and CXO leaders.
  • An MBA or other advanced degree is a plus but not required if you bring strong relevant experience and domain credibility.

Why this opportunity is compelling:

  • You will work on meaningful healthcare challenges with real operational and clinical consequences, alongside experienced leaders who care deeply about client outcomes and execution quality.
  • You will have the opportunity to influence how payer organizations think about growth, modernization, and clinical operations—and to help shape solutions that scale.
  • You will learn quickly, collaborate across disciplines, and build a deep understanding of the strategic, operational, and commercial forces shaping healthcare today.
  • You will join a team that values ownership, sharp thinking, partnership, and continuous growth—and gives you room to make a visible impact.
