About The Role
Principal, Commercial Strategy
You will
- Partner directly with the General Manager of Care Partnerships to identify, scope, and prioritize the strategic initiatives that will drive step-change growth in 2027 and beyond. You'll define clear success criteria, build the business case, and shape the roadmap for each.
- Own end-to-end execution of high-priority strategic initiatives, such as new partnership models, joint ventures, and care navigation programs. You'll translate ambitious goals into concrete plans, milestones, and accountable owners.
- Serve as the program management engine for Care Partnerships: run operating cadences, track progress against plan, surface risks early, and keep cross-functional partners aligned and on top of their commitments.
- Collaborate with internal teams across Strategy, Product, Operations, and Finance to turn partner and market insights into recommendations that shape product and operations strategy.
- Use data to generate insights, size opportunities, and pinpoint where Care Partnerships should invest next, building the analytical foundation for a function scaling toward 10x growth.
- Bring strategic capacity and operational rigor to a fast-growing, primarily sales- and partnerships-oriented team, so leaders can stay focused on driving the core business while new initiatives move forward.
You will love this role if
- You have 10+ years of experience in healthcare, ideally across strategy, operations, and/or sales roles. Backgrounds in management consulting paired with hands-on operating experience, or in high-growth healthcare startups, are especially relevant.
- You bring deep exposure to health system and provider group business models and economics, and you understand how integrated care, value-based arrangements, and partnership structures create value for all sides.
- You're as strong at execution as you are at strategy. You've taken initiatives from whiteboard to launch and know how to drive programs forward through ambiguity, competing priorities, and cross-functional complexity.
- You thrive in ambiguity and seek out unfamiliar challenges. You're energized by defining a problem, choosing the better, faster, fewer path, and persistently driving past obstacles toward outcomes.
- You're operationally excellent and can manage multiple high-impact initiatives at once without losing sight of the details or the bigger picture.
- You build credibility quickly with stakeholders at every level, from frontline sales teams to executive leadership, and you're skilled at creating accountability across teams you don't directly manage.
- You want an environment that fosters individual growth through open feedback, high autonomy, and direct exposure to senior leadership.
- You're motivated by the opportunity to take on one of our generation's defining problems: access to mental healthcare.
We believe a team's strength is in its people, and we cannot achieve this mission without a team that reflects the diversity of this problem - across race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, age, national origin, religion, family status, disability, military status, and experience.
