About The Position

SonderMind is hiring a Military and Government Account Manager to join our Military and Government Partnerships team. This role manages day-to-day relationships across two key partnership channels: VA Medical Centers (VAMCs) operating under the Community Care Network (CCN), and TRICARE-covered active duty service members and their dependents through MTFs (Military Treatment Facilities), base clinics, and Family Readiness programs. You will serve as the primary point of contact across your assigned territory, helping Veterans, active duty families, and military-connected individuals access mental health services through SonderMind. You'll work closely with the Head of Military and Government Partnerships, Care Operations, and the senior AMs, managing a defined set of VA and TRICARE relationships and building deep familiarity with the referral systems, authorization workflows, and people that make both partnership channels work. This is a great fit for someone who wants to grow their account management experience in a mission-driven, complex dual-channel partnership environment serving those who serve.
