We are headquartered in Emeryville, California and privately-held with world class investors and partners.

Role Summary

At Eko, we’re advancing how healthcare professionals detect and monitor heart and lung disease. Our portfolio combines digital stethoscopes, ECG technology, provider software, and FDA-cleared AI to give clinicians powerful tools to identify disease earlier and make more confident decisions at the point of care.

Today, more than 750,000 Eko devices have been sold to healthcare professionals around the world, and we continue to expand the ways clinicians can access Eko through our direct business, healthcare institutions, and a growing global network of commercial partners.

We’re looking for a Director, Wholesale Partnerships & Distribution to lead and grow Eko’s global reseller, distribution, and brand-partnership business.

This is a senior commercial leadership role for someone who is equally comfortable setting strategy and executing it personally. You will determine where and how Eko expands through third-party distribution, identify and recruit high-value partners, establish channel pricing and commercial structures, and own revenue performance across the portfolio.

At the same time, you will stay close to the business: directly managing key partners, negotiating agreements, conducting joint business planning, building forecasts, overseeing purchase orders, and working cross-functionally to ensure Eko delivers for its partners.

This is not a traditional corporate “strategic partnerships” role. Our partners are an extension of Eko’s commercial organization. They purchase Eko products in bulk and sell them to clinicians, clinics, hospitals, health systems, and—in some cases—other downstream resellers. The portfolio also includes brand relationships in which partners may sell co-branded Eko products directly to their customers.

You will own and evolve the playbook for how Eko identifies, activates, manages, and scales these partners globally.
