  • Own pre-event outreach strategy and post-event pipeline follow-up for 2-3 partner events/conferences per quarter.
• Partner Operations (30%)
  • Own the health plan partnership operating rhythm for assigned partnerships: set the recurring meeting cadence, circulate agendas, and hold internal/external stakeholders accountable for action items.
  • Own the partnership plan for assigned partnerships as agreed upon with the Partnerships Director: define milestones, assign owners, track progress, and flag risks to the Director before they become escalations.
  • Own internal partnership documentation and dashboards as the single source of truth on partnership status for internal stakeholders.
  • Coordinate with marketing on approved asset development for assigned partners (approved member communications ensuring partner consistency, pre-sale materials, market-facing partnership materials).

• Hands-on Salesforce (SFDC) experience – you keep pipeline clean and use data to prioritize.
• Scrappy and creative with a strong bias toward action – you don't wait for perfect conditions to move forward.
