Who we are
Zus is a shared health data platform designed to accelerate healthcare data interoperability by providing easy-to-use patient data via API, embedded components, and direct EHR integrations. Founded in 2021 by Jonathan Bush, co-founder and former CEO of athenahealth, Zus partners with HIEs and other data networks to aggregate patient clinical history and then translates that history into user-friendly information at the point of care. Zus’s mission is to catalyze healthcare’s greatest inventors by maximizing the value of patient insights – so that they can build up, not around.
Zus Health is on a mission to accelerate healthcare’s transition to an open data ecosystem. We build the connected data foundation and developer-grade building blocks that health tech teams use to ship modern, data-driven healthcare experiences. We’re doing it faster, safer and at scale.
We are looking for a healthcare-savvy, get-stuff-done, and well-organized leader to grow and mature our partnerships function. Reporting directly to our VP Business Development and Partnerships you will play a critical role in shaping our partnerships strategy. This includes expanding our partner footprint across core integration surfaces and pushing Zus into new product and go-to-market areas.
As part of our team you will
- Develop new product partnerships within the AI workflow, EHR, CRM, analytics spaces and adjacent infrastructure (identity, security, consent, interoperability, revenue cycle, etc.) to expand the Zus platform and accelerate customer outcomes
- Open new areas of the business by identifying and validating new partner-led motions taking them from concept to pilot and making this a repeatable motion
- Grow existing AI workflow, EHR, CRM and strategic channel partnerships that expand Zus distribution and generate durable revenue and pipeline
- Grow data aggregation partnerships, including Health Information Exchanges (HIEs), claims data providers, and other critical data sources to strengthen Zus’s connected data ecosystem while improving coverage and freshness
- Identify and establish new data partnerships that meaningfully enhance the Zus offering (new datasets, improved connectivity, novel access models), and partner with internal teams to launch and operationalize them.
- Influence the product roadmap by surfacing customer and market insights to inform future feature development and ensure product-market fit
- Represent Zus at conferences and meetings, building relationships and staying abreast of healthcare trends and innovations
You’re a good fit because
- You excel at crafting compelling presentations, negotiating win-win deals, managing complex processes, and conducting data-driven analyses
- Whether you’re a Senior Manager or a VP, you bring deep expertise and are eager to dive in and make an impact
- You thrive in the fast-paced, sometimes unstructured nature of an early-stage startup and can independently drive initiatives to completion
- You have experience working with payers and a strong understanding of healthcare products, particularly those involving data and analytics
- You have experience driving channel revenue through referrals, resellers, and other strategic GTM approaches and you know how to operationalize partner enablement, co-marketing, and co-sell
