Partner Clinical & Practice Activation Manager

Remote (U.S.)

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

The signed partnership is just the beginning — this role is where the real work happens. As Partner Clinical & Practice Activation Manager, you will own the end-to-end onboarding and clinical integration journey for new provider partners, transforming signed agreements into fully embedded, high-utilization programs that actually change how patients experience maternity care. This is a mission-critical operational role at the intersection of clinical workflow expertise, project management, and relationship building — and the company’s renewal rates, patient outcomes, and long-term partnership health all run through it. Three things make this opportunity compelling for the right candidate: first, the impact is direct and measurable — your work translates into providers actively referring patients and patients showing up for life-changing education. Second, the role carries significant clinical credibility — you will be the face of the company inside OB practices, building trust with nurses, midwives, practice managers, and care teams. Third, this is a high-growth environment where a strong Activation Manager has clear visibility into broader clinical strategy and implementation leadership as the company scales. If you have a background in healthcare implementation or clinical operations and a passion for making programs actually work inside provider settings, this role is built for you.

Position Responsibilities

Partner Onboarding & Go-Live

• Own the full partner onboarding journey from post-sale handoff through successful go-live, serving as the primary point of contact and accountability for each new healthcare partner during the critical activation phase.

• Develop, refine, and execute structured onboarding playbooks that ensure consistent, high-quality program implementation across diverse provider environments — from independent OB practices to large integrated health systems.

• Proactively monitor and drive early utilization and referral rates during the first 90–120 days post-launch, identifying and addressing friction points before they become barriers to adoption.

Clinical Workflow Integration

• Lead complex clinical workflow integration efforts, embedding the company’s programs into existing provider touchpoints including OB visits, discharge workflows, and patient digital communication channels.

• Ensure accurate and effective integration across EMR/EHR systems, including referral pathways, order sets, clinical prompts, alerts, and patient engagement workflows — working directly with clinical and IT stakeholders to configure and validate each integration.

• Guide provider teams through the ‘follow the Card’ process and other clinical adoption frameworks, ensuring fidelity to best practices across all key care touchpoints.

Training, Enablement & Relationship Management

• Develop and deliver comprehensive training programs for front desk staff, nurses, lactation consultants, practice managers, and other care team members — tailored to each partner’s workflows and staff mix.

• Establish and maintain strong, trust-based working relationships with key provider staff across activated partners, serving as an ongoing resource and advocate for program success.

• Gather structured feedback from clinical and administrative staff to continuously improve onboarding processes, training materials, and program integration strategies.

Position Qualifications

Required

• Demonstrated track record of successfully implementing programs within complex healthcare environments, with measurable outcomes tied to utilization, adoption, or clinical workflow change.

• 8+ years of experience in healthcare implementation, clinical operations, or customer success, with direct exposure to the operational realities of provider practice environments.

• Hands-on experience embedding programs within healthcare organizations through EMR/EHR integrations, including referral pathways, order sets, clinical prompts, and patient engagement workflows.

• Direct experience working within OB practices, maternity programs, or women’s health care delivery settings — familiarity with how these environments operate at the staff and workflow level is essential.

• Exceptional project management skills with the ability to manage multiple concurrent partner activations, competing priorities, and diverse stakeholder groups without dropping the ball.

Preferred

• Clinical background as a nurse, nurse practitioner, certified nurse midwife, or other licensed healthcare professional — candidates who speak the clinical language build trust with care teams faster.

• Experience with intake systems, practice management platforms, and patient communication tools commonly used in OB/GYN or maternity care settings.

• Collaborative, solutions-oriented mindset with a genuine passion for improving the patient and family experience across the perinatal journey.
