About the role

We’re looking for a Head of Partnerships to own how Gyde partners with other organizations to drive inbound organic client leads and referrals, with an initial focus on Medicare and small group employee benefits. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • 8+ years in partnerships, growth strategy, or enterprise sales at a healthcare, insurance, fintech, or growth-stage company, with a track record of building partnerships that drove measurable lead or revenue growth
  • Experience in Medicare, employee benefits, insurance distribution, or adjacent healthcare channels preferred
  • Command of deal mechanics: you can model a partnership’s economics, draft a term sheet, and work through contracts with Legal and Finance
  • Comfort working in a regulated industry and partnering closely with compliance teams
  • Credibility across audiences, you can pitch a health system executive, coach an agency owner on growing referrals, and win over a senior center director with equal ease
  • Fluency with AI tools, and a habit of using them to scale research, outreach, and reporting instead of adding headcount

  • Build AI systems that improve how people access healthcare
  • Design production-grade...
