About The Position

Rethink is seeking a Vice President of Strategic Alliances to build brokers and benefits consultants into a scalable, measurable revenue channel. This leader will own Rethink's strategy and relationships across the benefits consulting ecosystem, with a focus on leading national and regional firms including Aon, WTW, Mercer, Gallagher, NFP, USI and Alliant. The mandate is straightforward: increase Rethink's visibility and advocacy within the broker community and turn those relationships into qualified employer introductions, pipeline and revenue. This is a commercial role. Success will be measured not simply by relationships or activity, but by broker-sourced and broker-influenced growth.

10+ years of experience in employee benefits, benefits consulting, healthcare, behavioral health, wellbeing or a related industry
Strong existing relationships across the benefits brokerage ecosystem
Understand how influence works inside large, decentralized brokerage firms
Demonstrated ability to turn strategic relationships into employer access and revenue
Combine the network and credibility of a benefits-industry insider with the commercial orientation and accountability of a sales leader

Own broker marketplaces and intelligence: Maximize Rethink's presence on platforms such as Shortlister and leverage tools such as BenefitFlow and Salesforce to identify consultants, map relationships and prioritize outreach.

Activate brokers through events and marketing: Partner with Sales and Marketing on consultant outreach, conferences, executive events, co-sponsored programs and targeted campaigns designed to deepen relationships and create opportunities.
Strengthen Rethink's market position: Equip consultants with compelling reasons to recommend Rethink through customer outcomes, shared client relationships, global capabilities, product innovation and demonstrated economic value.
Own partner relations: Work with carrier partners to generate pipeline and revenue through Rethink's most important market channels.
Establish market partnerships: Build partnerships with behavioral health and mental health partners to ensure Rethink's neurodiversity support is complemented by other critical forms of care.
