Responsibilities

Build and execute the partnership strategy across reseller and white-label motions with EHR vendors; source, negotiate, and launch new partnerships, and manage existing ones toward mutually identified goals.
Develop executive-level relationships with EHR leadership and build ties with field sales, operations, and CS teams; run regular governance, QBRs, and joint account planning.
Set partner targets and quotas, drive pipeline creation and deal progression, and maintain accurate partner-sourced and partner-influenced forecasts.
Stand up repeatable playbooks, pricing and packaging, demo scripts, objection handling, and implementation guides; develop co-marketing plans like webinars and case studies.
Master the product to confidently demo to partner prospects, and translate partner/market feedback into product requirements alongside Product and Engineering.
Coordinate with Legal and RevOps on partner agreements, pricing, and reporting hygiene; remove blockers so partners can sell, support, and implement successfully.
