About The Position

Massive Bio is seeking a Manager, Business Development & Strategic Partnerships to drive our payer, employer, and government business development efforts. This role carries a strong build-and-execute mandate as we bring a new multi-agentic AI infrastructure to market. You will generate pipeline, develop target accounts, structure deal frameworks, and advance contracts across segments of the U.S. payer landscape — working closely with company leadership throughout the sales cycle. This role also includes a government engagement dimension. Massive Bio has committed to the CMS "Kill the Clipboard" and Conversational AI pledges, and you will support the company's representation to CMS and federal agencies, helping ensure our platform is positioned within federal digital health modernization efforts.

Requirements

• Working knowledge of the U.S. payer landscape, including national carriers, BCBS plans, regional health plans, TPAs, major brokerages, and employer coalitions.
• Demonstrated ability to identify decision-makers, build relationships, and advance conversations within complex payer organizations.
• Understanding of CMS, CMMI, and HHS digital health initiatives and value-based care models.
• Working knowledge of ERISA, stop-loss, plan design, ASO arrangements, and how digital health solutions are evaluated and procured by employer coalitions, TPAs, and brokerages.
• Track record of developing new business in a channel or market where partnerships did not yet exist.
• Comfortable with ambiguity, prospecting from scratch, and iterating on go-to-market approaches without established playbooks.
• History of contributing to or directly closing $1M–$3M+ annually in B2B healthcare deals — value-based, capitated, fee-for-service, or hybrid structures.
• Must be comfortable navigating multi-stakeholder sales cycles.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Ability to present to senior stakeholders, participate in conference panels, and represent the company externally with confidence and credibility.

Nice To Haves

• Existing contacts in the payer, employer, and government ecosystem.
• Direct engagement experience with CMS, CMMI, and HHS.

• Prior experience working with or selling to BCBS plans, Consortium Health Plans members, or large employer coalitions.
• Familiarity with clinical trial economics, biomarker testing reimbursement, and precision medicine workflows.
• MBA, MHA, JD, or advanced degree in a relevant field.

Responsibilities

• Generate pipeline, develop target accounts, structure deal frameworks, and advance contracts across segments of the U.S. payer landscape.

• Help position the platform for CMS Innovation Center (CMMI) models, Oncology Care Model successors, and federal demonstration projects involving AI-enabled navigation and clinical trial access.
