VP, Partnerships

Referral Growth Strategy
Design and own the multi-year referral growth roadmap across all partnership verticals. Establish a shared volume framework that connects FQHC referrals, food ecosystem partnerships, and community enrollment into a unified measurement system. Identify which channels represent the highest-leverage bets by market and by population, and allocate resources accordingly.

Institutional Partnership Development
Personally lead the identification and structuring of new partnerships with Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs), Community Health Centers (CHCs), pharma organizations, hospital systems, FindHelp, UniteUs, and other SDOH-adjacent platforms. These are complex, multi-stakeholder negotiations requiring fluency in clinical workflows, procurement processes, and population health goals. 

Team Leadership & Development 
Serve as a visionary leader and mentor to a high-performing team. Foster a culture of high performance, accountability, and continuous professional development, while thoughtfully expanding team capacity to meet future growth demands.

Food & Retail Ecosystem
Provide executive oversight for Foodsmart's food vendor partnerships and marketplace strategy, including national retailer relationships (Walmart, Amazon, Instacart) as well as community-level food bank and SDOH organizations. Work with the Sr. Director of Food Partnerships to build a differentiated marketplace value proposition that deepens member engagement and drives referral volume.

Community Engagement Oversight
Oversee the Director of Community Engagement and a field team responsible for awareness campaigns and enrollment drives in high-density markets. This vertical requires both operational accountability and strategic direction — ensuring community-level activation is tied to measurable enrollment outcomes rather than solely awareness metrics.

Distribution & Channel Partnerships
Develop and manage relationships with distribution and channel partners — including supplemental benefit platforms (Soda Health, Nations Benefits), benefit management platforms (Lynx), and others — that create access to new member populations at scale. This requires an understanding of how benefit platforms price, structure, and distribute services.

Operating Cadence & Pipeline Management
Build the operational infrastructure for this team: a shared CRM-based pipeline, segment-level performance tracking, a partner health scorecard, and a forecasting methodology that can be trusted by leadership. The VP will bring rigor and accountability to this function.

Cross-Functional Alignment
Work closely with the CGO, Chief Clinical Officer, product, and payer/provider sales teams to ensure partnership structures are consistent with clinical quality standards, network requirements, and member experience expectations. Referral volume only creates value if it converts to engaged, retained members.
