Duet is looking for a dynamic, strategic, and execution-oriented Head of Payor Partnerships to lead our health plan and payor relationships.

  • Strong project management skills and ability to lead cross-functional initiatives to completion
  • Proficiency in data modeling, contract performance analysis, and market intelligence gathering is strongly preferred
  • Highly organized, detail-oriented, and adept at juggling multiple workstreams and deadlines
