Role Overview

We’re hiring a Director of Partnerships to own and scale our EHR partner channel (reseller and white-label). You’ll manage existing alliances end-to-end—enablement, co-selling, implementation alignment, marketing, quota setting, forecasting, and deal support—while sourcing and closing new partnerships. This role starts as an individual contributor and can grow into building and leading a team as business demand warrants.

What You’ll Do

• Partner Strategy & Growth

  • Build and execute the partnership strategy across reseller and white-label motions with EHR vendors.

  • Source, negotiate, and launch new partnerships; define joint value propositions and GTM plans.

  • Existing partnership management. Work with our existing partners and their leaders to execute on mutually identified goals.
    

• Relationship Ownership

  • Develop executive-level relationships with EHR leadership; build one-to-one ties with field sales, operations, and CS teams.
    

  • Run regular governance (QBRs), joint account planning, and executive business reviews.
    

• Revenue & Forecasting

  • Set partner targets/quotas; drive pipeline creation, deal progression, and close.
    

  • Maintain accurate partner-sourced and partner-influenced forecasts; report weekly to Clinically AI leadership.
    

• Enablement & Co-Marketing

  • Stand up repeatable enablement: playbooks, pricing & packaging, demo scripts, objection handling, and implementation guides.
    

  • Develop co-marketing plans (webinars, case studies, campaigns) that amplify our brand through partners.
    

• Solution Leadership

  • Master the product to confidently demo to partner prospects and contribute to solution design, RFPs, and technical discovery.
    

  • Translate market and partner feedback into product requirements in collaboration with Product/Engineering.
    

• Operational Excellence

  • Coordinate with Legal/RevOps on partner agreements, pricing constructs, and reporting hygiene (HubSpot).
    

  • Ensure partners can sell, support, implement, and market successfully; remove blockers quickly.
    

• Team Building

  • Define the operating model and KPIs for the partnerships function; present the case to scale headcount as milestones are met.
    

What You’ll Bring (Skills & Qualifications)

• Experience: 7–10+ years in partnerships/alliances, channel sales, direct sales, or business development for SaaS or health tech; proven success with reseller/white-label motions (EHR ecosystem experience strongly preferred).
  

• Market/Ecosystem Fluency: Understanding of behavioral health provider workflows and EHR vendors; ability to articulate business cases for joint solutions.
  

• Executive Presence: Polished communicator who can influence C-suite while also enabling field sales reps day-to-day.

• Technical Fluency: Can credibly discuss integrations (APIs, SSO, data flows), security basics (HIPAA, SOC2, BAA considerations), and implementation readiness; strong product-demo capability.
  

• Program Management: Builds scalable playbooks, partner certifications, and enablement; drives cross-functional execution with Sales, Marketing, Product, CS/Implementation, Legal, and Finance.
  

• Builder’s Mindset: Comfortable as an IC initially; able to design the department, hire, and lead as the function scales.
  

• AI Competency: Understands and uses AI today in day to day workflows and how AI generally works. Will need to articulate this with partner organizations and prospective channel-based opportunities.
  

• Travel: ~20–30% for partner meetings, conferences, and market development.
  

Nice to Have

• Prior experience with EHRs such as Credible, SmartCare, Netsmart, Qualifacts, NextGen or similar.
  

• Startup/scale-up experience standing up partner programs from zero to one.
  

• Familiarity with compliance frameworks relevant to behavioral health.
