Our client is redefining maternal healthcare by combining the empathy of human support with AI-powered efficiency. With a focus on prenatal and postpartum education, lactation, and mental health, they are empowering expectant and new parents to access care on their terms. Recognized for their commitment to proactive, preventative care, they’ve established reimbursement agreements with major commercial insurers and helped over 15,000 mothers access services through insurance—on pace to double that impact in 2025. As they scale nationally, they’re hiring a VP of Healthcare Partnerships to spearhead growth and build a category-defining care model.
This is a high-impact opportunity to lead the company’s healthcare partnership engine and build a repeatable system for national growth. The VP will own strategy, execution, and team development, focusing on establishing partnerships with OB-GYN practices, health systems, and sonography networks. This role is both strategic and hands-on, with strong visibility into executive leadership and the board. You’ll work across marketing, customer success, and operations to drive measurable business outcomes—and play a key role in shaping how maternal healthcare is delivered across the U.S. The right candidate will bring both grit and vision, with the potential to evolve into a C-level commercial leadership role as the organization scales.
