Who we hope to find:
We’re looking for a Director of Partner Success to own the health of
Freddie’s
most vital relationships. This role will own both our Covered Entity partnerships across the US and our expanding Canadian partner relationships end-to-end.
You’ll have the rare opportunity to build a cross geography account management function from the ground up—designing the playbooks, automation, and documentation that define excellence for our partners. This role will run quarterly business reviews, negotiate renewals, consultatively introduce new services that deepen the partnerships, and utilize data-driven insights and mission alignment to deliver compelling pitches that expand our footprint.By working cross-functionally with our data, finance, customer support and product teams, this role will ensure the partner perspective directly shapes our roadmap while overseeing the day-to-day operations that keep our mission moving forward.
With a Partnerships Success Manager reporting to you to handle invoicing, data QA, and report preparation and a Senior Manager of Community to support on partner engagement, your job is to lead the relationships, design the systems, and drive the cross-functional work that makes our partners successful. Working alongside our Co-Founders, this Director-level position offers significant organizational influence and the latitude to make defining strategic choices for the business.
If you thrive on building deep relationships with mission-driven leaders, love building repeatable processes where none exist, and are energized by work that directly expands access to HIV prevention and treatment—this is your role.
In this role, you’ll make an impact by:
Cultivating Strategic Partner Relationships (50%)
Owning all covered entity partner relationships end-to-end, from onboarding through renewal and expansion
Defining what an 11/10 experience looks like for our partners, which includes everything from running structured MBRs/QBRs to building partnership roadmaps
Identifying and closing expansion opportunities through consultative, partnership-oriented selling
Serving as the voice of the partner internally by translating their needs to product, clinical, and operations teams
Driving Consultative Growth (30%)
Strategically growing our relationship with existing CE partners by helping them access new services through Freddie that benefit patient care and our respective missions
Developing and delivering compelling pitches grounded in data, outcomes, and mission alignment
Representing Freddie at industry events and conferences to build upon Freddie’s reputation in the 340B and community health ecosystem.
Optimizing Operational Excellence (20%)
Oversee the Partnerships Success Manager who collaborates with other teams to ensure partners are invoiced and data reports are created and QA’d. Accountable for accuracy and partner trust; not expected to do the manual work.
Ensure all operational processes are documented, reliable, and improving over time. The goal: if any person in this function left tomorrow, someone else could pick up.
We need someone who has:
7+ years in partnership management, strategic account management, or client leadership—with a track record of independently managing 10+ high-value relationships
Demonstrated ability to build trust and credibility with mission-driven organizations (non-profits, community health, government-funded entities, or similar)
Healthcare industry experience
Strong business development instinct—you spot growth opportunities and position them as value-add, not upsell
Executive-level communication skills—you hold your own with clinic CEOs, CMOs, and board members without needing coaching or hand-holding.
Strong cross-functional instinct—you naturally work across data, finance, product, and support teams to unblock issues and build better systems, not just escalate problems
Commercial instinct—you see opportunities to deepen partnerships, frame them as value-add, and close them through trust, not pressure
The ability to manage one direct report and develop their capabilities over time
Data-driven storytelling—you can turn utilization data and outcomes into a narrative that resonates with a clinic director
Experience working with non-profit, community-based, or government-funded organizations
Proven ability to navigate and influence collaborating teams such as product, clinical, and data to ensure the partner’s voice translates into high-impact realities
It would also be great if you have:
Knowledge of the 340B Drug Pricing Program, contract pharmacy, or HRSA compliance
Experience in LGBTQ+ health, HIV/AIDS services, or health equity
Compensation:
$140,000 - $160,000 USD a year
Earn stock options through our Equity Incentive Plan—connect your efforts to PurposeMed’s growth as we work together to improve the lives of our patients across North America.
