About the Role

We are seeking a strategic and results-oriented SVP, Health System Partnerships, to lead our full sales lifecycle. You will build a durable, executive-level provider revenue engine.

You will lead and coach the team that develops a highly concentrated market. We are looking for team members who are passionate about contributing to the growth of a product that’s improving access to healthcare for all Americans.

In this role, you will report to the CCO, collaborating closely with Product, Partnerships, Engineering, and RevOps.

This is a remote role. Were open to candidates based in the U.S. The position requires significant travel to health systems and industry events, as well as regular time with the team in the Bay Area.

This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a mission-driven organization poised for significant growth.

Responsibilities

• Team Leadership & Coaching: Recruit, develop, and retain a high-performing team of enterprise sellers and leaders. Coach sellers in their deals, hold the team accountable to clear standards, and manage performance firmly. Continuously evolve organizational design and territory coverage as PayZen scales.

• Enterprise Growth & Expansion: Own the commercial lifecycle across target health systems. Drive net-new account acquisition and build a repeatable expansion motion to cross-sell and upsell new offerings like financial assistance automation and the Care Card.

• Sales Operating System: Implement a rigorous, world-class enterprise sales operating system. Enforce clear stage definitions, deal inspection, close planning, and highly accurate forecasting. Instill the discipline that makes the teams sales process repeatable.

• Territory Development: Lead the team in systematically developing each territory across a highly concentrated market. Build account plans and executive maps, and make sure sellers build lasting relationships with the decision makers in every account.

• Executive Engagement: Act as the senior, credible counterpart to health system CFOs and RCM leaders. Own critical financial conversations regarding yield, MDR, recourse vs. non-recourse, and balance-sheet implications.

• Account Ownership: Design and run the coverage model for live partners. Make sellers quota-accountable from the first meeting through renewal, and institutionalize strategic relationship coverage via executive mapping and QBRs.

• Operational Rigor: A strict operational leader who runs a tight ship. Treats territory planning, pipeline coverage, and forecasting as repeatable processes rather than heroic efforts.

• People Management: A proven player-coach who has built, not just inherited, teams. Coaches sellers deal by deal and holds the team accountable to clear standards. Identifies exceptional talent, manages performance fairly, and develops leaders who can execute complex deals independently.

• Expansion Expertise: Strong background executing a land-and-expand motion. Experienced in holding sellers accountable for the ongoing success and growth of the accounts they win.
