About Our Client

Our client is on a mission to ensure every parent has access to the best evidence-based education and support across the full perinatal journey — from pre-conception through early parenthood. Founded in 2019 and now operating across four continents with a growing U.S. presence headquartered in Chicago, this fast-scaling healthcare education company partners with OB/GYN practices, hospitals, and integrated health systems to deliver expert-led, Certified Nurse Midwife-led maternity education programs that seamlessly extend the provider care model. Their programs boast a 98% class completion rate among attending patients — a testament to the quality and engagement of their curriculum — and they are trusted by leading healthcare organizations seeking to improve patient outcomes, reduce operational burden, and deliver a differentiated perinatal experience. As the company continues to accelerate its U.S. enterprise partnership strategy, they are building out a senior commercial and operational team to match the pace of their growth.

Position Overview

This is a rare senior commercial role for a true enterprise hunter who has spent their career building relationships and closing complex deals inside health systems — and is ready to do it again for a company that is redefining perinatal care at scale. As Director of Strategic Provider Partnerships, you will independently own and close seven-figure partnerships with large OB/GYN groups, integrated health systems, and value-based care organizations, navigating multi-stakeholder buying processes across clinical, financial, and operational leadership. Three things set this opportunity apart: first, the mission is genuinely compelling — you are not selling software for its own sake, you are expanding access to expert-led education that measurably improves maternal and infant outcomes. Second, the timing is exceptional — the company is in an active growth phase, with enterprise partnerships accelerating and a clear need for a senior closer who can independently land system-level deals without hand-holding. Third, the role carries significant internal influence — your market insight, deal structure, and customer relationships will directly shape the company’s partnership strategy for years to come. If you have a strong existing network in the women’s health and health system space and a track record of closing at the enterprise level, this is a conversation worth having.

Position Responsibilities

Enterprise Sales & Deal Execution

• Own the full sales cycle — from prospecting and discovery through negotiation and close — for enterprise partnerships with large OB/GYN groups, integrated health systems, MSOs, and value-based care organizations, targeting $1M+ annual contract values.

• Drive complex, multi-threaded stakeholder engagement across clinical, financial, and operational buyers, including OB/GYNs, CMOs, service line leaders, population health directors, and billing and compliance leadership.

• Structure and negotiate partnership agreements that ensure strong program adoption and activation within provider ecosystems, including digital integration, EMR alignment, and clinical workflow embedding.

Strategic Partnership Development

• Identify, evaluate, and execute strategic partnerships with key industry stakeholders including national OB platforms, MSOs, and other high-value provider organizations that can drive meaningful scale.

• Leverage an existing network of healthcare provider relationships to accelerate pipeline development and compress deal cycles — the ability to open doors independently is essential in this role.

• Collaborate with Activation leads to ensure seamless handoffs from close to onboarding, maintaining relationship continuity and setting new partners up for high utilization from day one.

Market Intelligence & Commercial Strategy

• Stay current on market dynamics within women’s health, value-based maternity care, and health system strategy, translating field intelligence into partnership positioning and deal structuring insights.

• Provide ongoing input to leadership on enterprise sales strategy, ICP refinement, competitive differentiation, and emerging opportunities across the U.S. provider landscape.

Position Qualifications

Required

• Demonstrated track record of independently closing seven-figure enterprise deals in healthcare — consistent quota achievement at the system or large group level is essential.

• 10–12+ years of progressive experience in healthcare enterprise sales or strategic partnerships, with direct exposure to OB/GYN, women’s health, or adjacent clinical specialties.

• Proven ability to navigate and influence complex, multi-stakeholder buying processes across clinical, financial, and operational leadership within large health systems.

• A strong, active network of contacts within the healthcare provider space — health systems, large OB groups, MSOs, or value-based care organizations — that can be engaged immediately on behalf of a new partner.

• Deep comfort with long sales cycles, sophisticated deal structures, and enterprise contract negotiations in regulated healthcare environments.

Preferred

• Experience selling digital health, patient education, or clinical program solutions into maternity or women’s health service lines.

• Familiarity with EMR/EHR integration requirements and how digital programs are evaluated within health system procurement and clinical workflow contexts.

• Collaborative team orientation with a passion for mission-driven work and the ability to operate with significant autonomy in a fast-scaling environment.
