Job Summary

Lead and manage strategic BD for Amae Health, coordinating pipeline, market intel, and cross-functional execution to expand payer/partner relationships.

  • Must-have: 3–6 years in consulting, banking, BD, or healthcare/tech with concrete ownership
  • Standout: End-to-end pipeline ownership and cross-functional collaboration across clinical/finance
  • Standout: Experience shaping market expansion and partner strategy

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Own the BD pipeline: research prospective health plan and health system partners, identify key contacts, and manage outreach from first touchpoint through to active conversation
  • Prepare decks, one-pagers, and data analyses for partnership meetings; translating Amae's model and outcomes into compelling narratives for external audiences
  • Coordinate due diligence, follow-up, and relationship management across the pipeline so nothing falls through the cracks
  • Track and synthesize market intelligence on payer and health system trends to inform Amae's partnership strategy
  • Support brand building and marketing efforts to continue to enhance our brand presence and position
  • Support the development and execution of Amae's sales playbook for new market entry
  • Identify and qualify new revenue opportunities, from referral partnerships to new VBC contracts, and help move them through the funnel
  • Build and manage CRM hygiene and pipeline reporting so the team always has a clear view of what's in motion and what needs attention
  • Act as a thought partner and doer on high-priority projects that don't fit neatly into a box; from new market analysis to grant applications to competitive landscaping
  • Help develop and refine Amae's market expansion strategy as the company scales into new geographies and new payer relationships

Requirements

  • 3–6 years of experience in consulting, banking, growth, BD, or a fast-moving healthcare/tech environment; you’ve owned real work and driven things forward
  • Clear, strong communicator — you write well, think in structure, and show up prepared and thoughtful in conversations
  • Highly organized and reliable — you keep track of details, follow-ups, and next steps across multiple workstreams without things slipping
  • Quick to learn, strong judgment — you ramp fast, ask good questions, and don’t need a lot of repetition
  • High ownership and follow-through — you close loops, hit deadlines, and take responsibility for outcomes
  • High EQ, low ego — you’re easy to work with, self-aware, and collaborative across teams and levels
  • Mission-driven — you care about SMI and want your work to matter
  • Comfortable with variety and pace — you can move between projects, stakeholders, and problems without losing momentum
  • Adaptable — when priorities shift, you adjust quickly and keep going
  • You may come from consulting, banking, or a fast-moving healthcare or tech company. You don’t need to have done all of this before — but you should learn quickly, take ownership, and care about getting it right.

Preferred

  • Prior exposure to healthcare BD, payer relationships, partner operations, or value-based care contracts
  • Experience with CRM tools (HubSpot, Salesforce, or similar) and pipeline management
  • Comfort with quantitative analysis, financial models, outcomes data, or similar
  • An existing network in healthcare, health plans, or behavioral health
