About The Role:

Paradigm is seeking a Director of Strategic Partnerships to grow our health-system and provider partnerships. This leader will drive the end-to-end sales process for provider organizations—from strategy and pipeline creation through contracting, launch, and long-term expansion.

This is a cross-functional role that requires close collaboration with Clinical, Product, Implementation, Legal/Compliance, Finance, Marketing, and Customer Success. You’ll serve as the internal quarterback and external face of Paradigm to health-system stakeholders, ensuring partnerships are structured for mutual value and built to scale.

What You’ll Do:

Provider Partnership Strategy & Growth

• Own the provider/health-system partnership line of business: target selection, value proposition tailoring, and growth strategy.

• Build and maintain a robust pipeline of health systems, integrated delivery networks, academic medical centers, and large specialty/provider groups.

Sales Leadership (Full Cycle)

• Lead the full sales cycle: discovery, stakeholder mapping, solution design, proposal development, negotiation, and close.

• Navigate complex decision-making structures across clinical, operational, financial, and executive stakeholders.

Cross-Functional Deal Orchestration

• Partner with internal leaders to scope solutions and align on feasibility and implementation & delivery timelines.

• Coordinate RFP responses and sourcing processes, ensuring high-quality, deadline-ready submissions.

• Collaborate with Legal to structure contracts that support scalable delivery.

Launch & Relationship Management

• Ensure smooth handoff into implementation & customer success and remain engaged through launch to secure early wins.

• Establish executive governance and ongoing performance check-ins.

• Act as a trusted advisor, monitoring health-system needs and anticipating partnership risks or opportunities.

Who You Are:

• You’re a player-coach who can hunt, close, and scale enterprise provider relationships.

• You build credibility quickly with clinical and executive leaders.

• You’re energized by ambiguity and can translate partner needs into structured, winnable deals.

• You bring a systems mindset—balancing partner goals, clinical realities, and company growth.

• Direct experience selling into health systems/IDNs/provider organizations (clinical services, digital health, care delivery, VBC enablement, or similar).

• Proven track record closing complex, multi-stakeholder deals ($500K–$5M+ ARR or equivalent).

• Experience leading cross-functional deal teams and contracting processes.

• Strong business case development, and executive communication skills.

Preferred

• Background in care delivery models that integrate clinical operations + technology.

• Existing network of health-system leaders and operators.

• Experience in high-growth or startup environments.

• Experience selling into academic medical centers
