This role collaborates closely with Business Development, Marketing, Product, Operations, Credit/Underwriting, Finance, and Risk/Compliance to align strategies and deliver measurable client and portfolio outcomes.


This role supports a portfolio of specialty/strategic markets that may evolve over time based on enterprise priorities. Specific market assignments are determined by the business and are subject to change.


Essential Responsibilities:


+ Set portfolio growth strategy for assigned specialty/strategic markets and accounts; translate strategy into annual operating plans with clear initiatives, milestones, and performance targets aligned to Wellness/Healthcare Specialties priorities.

+ Lead enrollment criteria and policy optimization for assigned markets; partner with Enrollment, Credit/Underwriting, Risk, and Compliance to evaluate and advance data-supported enhancements/expansions to criteria consistent with risk appetite and portfolio performance.

+ Create a scalable segmentation and playbook approach across markets (e.g., national, mid-market, multi-location, independent) to identify common needs and repeatable levers; consolidate strategies, messaging, tools, and enablement to improve focus and execution consistency across a broad market footprint.

+ Accelerate mid-market and multi-location growth by identifying underpenetrated segments and building coordinated engagement plans with Business Development, field sales, and market expansion resources.

+ Drive contract performance and retention by ensuring contractual obligations are met and partnering with internal stakeholders on renewal strategy, negotiations, amendments, and pricing reviews as applicable.

+ Lead analytics-driven performance management by mining internal and external data (enrollment → activation → utilization funnel, cohorts, market trends) to identify growth opportunities, prioritize initiatives, and run test-and-learn pilots with measurable outcomes.

+ Orchestrate cross-functional execution across Marketing, Product, Operations, Finance, Credit/Underwriting, and Risk/Compliance to deliver initiatives that improve activation, utilization, client experience, and operational readiness for strategic accounts.

+ Own escalation and issue resolution for complex client, operational, and compliance matters; drive timely root-cause resolution and ensure clear internal/external communication.

+ Lead and develop a dispersed team of Strategic/National Account Managers and client services resources aligned to strategic accounts; set expectations, coach, and drive performance.

+ Perform other duties and/or special projects as assigned.


Qualifications/Requirements:


+ Bachelor’s degree or 7+ years of equivalent work experience.

+ 5+ years of experience in financial services, payments, lending, or adjacent B2B client management/commercial roles.

+ Demonstrated success managing large and/or complex client relationships, including formal communications to senior business leaders and/or key external partners.

+ 3+ years of experience leading cross-functional initiatives (structured execution, stakeholder coordination, and measurable outcomes).

+ Strong communication and presentation skills, including executive-ready written materials (e.g., QBR content, growth plans, performance updates).

+ Ability to simplify and scale: comfortable consolidating approaches across multiple markets/segments into repeatable strategies and tools.

+ Strong influencing and negotiation skills; ability to drive outcomes through governance and cross-functional coordination.

+ Strong financial and business acumen; ability to connect initiatives to portfolio outcomes.

+ Ability to travel up to ~40% as required (including overnight and occasional weekends).

+ Ability and flexibility to travel for business as required


Desired Characteristics:


+ People leadership experience (direct or matrix), including coaching, performance management, and leading dispersed teams.

+ Experience supporting contract performance and renewals, including ensuring obligations are met and coordinating internal partners on renewal strategy, amendments, and/or pricing reviews.

+ Demonstrated ability to apply data and insights (e.g., enrollment/activation/utilization trends, cohort performance) to identify growth opportunities and prioritize actions.

+ Demonstrated ability to communicate complex strategies and performance insights clearly and credibly to senior stakeholders (internal and external)

+ Healthcare/wellness industry familiarity preferred; ability to quickly learn evolving specialty market assignments.

+ Proven ability to work remotely and independently while maintaining high engagement with clients and internal stakeholders.
