You'll work closely with leaders from across the company to source, structure, negotiate, and manage the partnerships that make Viz's ecosystem stronger.

You will

• Own Viz's strategic partnership, ecosystem and inorganic strategy, identifying capability and portfolio gaps that partnerships can fill.
• Build and manage a pipeline of prospective partners - sourcing, evaluating strategic and commercial fit, and developing the business case for internal decision-making and executive alignment.
• Lead structuring and negotiation of these partner agreements, including distribution, licensing, data-sharing, co-marketing and potentially M&A arrangements, from term sheet through definitive agreement.
• Partner cross-functionally with Product, Clinical, Sales, Legal, and Finance to evaluate new opportunities and ensure partnerships are integrated and commercialized successfully.
• Work with Product and Sales teams to manage ongoing partnerships and the relationships with key stakeholders at partners
• Partner cross-functionally to ensure partnerships become embedded in our product strategies and go-to-market motions
• Track market trends and the competitive landscape across AI, health-tech, and adjacent ecosystems to inform where Viz should build, partner, or pass.
• Report regularly on partnership pipeline, deal status, and ecosystem performance to executive leadership.
• Represent Viz externally with existing and prospective partners, building durable, trust-based relationships.

What success looks like

• Viz has a healthy, well-prioritized pipeline of strategic partnerships aligned to our Provider and Life Science business priorities.
• Partnership agreements are negotiated efficiently and reflect terms that protect Viz's commercial and strategic interests.

• Cross-functional stakeholders (Product, Clinical, Sales) view Partnerships as a trusted, responsive partner in evaluating new opportunities.
• Leadership and the Board have clear, current visibility into partnership pipeline and performance.

We are looking for

• 7+ years of experience in business development, strategic partnerships, or corporate development, ideally within healthtech, medtech, or health IT.
• A demonstrated track record of sourcing, negotiating, and closing complex commercial partnership agreements that have contributed to measurable revenue growth (distribution, licensing, data, or technology integration).
• Experience managing an external partner ecosystem post-signature, not just closing deals.
• Strong cross-functional collaborator who can align Product, Clinical, Sales, and Legal around a shared partnership strategy.
• Excellent negotiation, communication, and executive presence — comfortable representing Viz externally and briefing senior leadership and the Board.
• A self-starter who thrives in a fast-paced, high-growth startup environment.
