• Influence Product Roadmap: Serve as the "Voice of the Payor" internally, driving cross-functional alignment with Product, Clinical, and Engineering to ensure our digital solutions solve real-world payor pain points (e.g., network adequacy, HEDIS measures, total cost of care).
• Drive Market Visibility: Represent SonderMind as a thought leader at national conferences (BHT, HLTH, AHIP), positioning the company as the premier partner for innovative behavioral health.
• Playbook Development and Team Growth: Manage the payor enablement budget and develop the internal "playbook" for scaling enterprise accounts from implementation to long-term expansion while modeling what good looks like for your team
• Data-Driven Decision Making: Evaluate and implement AI-driven tools to automate routine payor reporting and augment the team’s ability to generate data-driven clinical insights.

What does success look like?

• Strategic Leverage: You will leverage improved relationships into 1-2 opportunities to support Payor Partners more deeply.
• High Performing Team: Your team meets and exceeds member activation targets, empowered by the mentorship and strategic clarity you provide.
• Organizational Influence: Payor feedback you've surface internally has directly shaped product and clinical direction with measurable proof points in contract wins, renewals, or expanded partnership teams tied to those enhancements.

Who You Are

• You have deep experience and relationships with Payors, including at least 7 years in high-level B2B health tech partnerships or value-based strategy.

• Past experience on the Provider or Payor side of Mental Health, or both.
• A deep, existing "Rolodex" of regional and national payor executives.
