Head of Strategic Programs, SNF

About the role

Sage is on a mission to improve care and quality of life for older adults, starting with those residing in senior living facilities. Falls are the leading cause of injury-related death among adults over 65. And yet, fall prevention and emergency response systems for older adults are archaic and ineffective. At Sage we've built a more modern way of understanding when older adults need help, including methods for residents to alert caregivers when in need of help, and corresponding software for caregivers to triage response. Our company mission is to create a product that our client counterparts love, and this role is a key part of that objective. Sage is a small, tight team of ambitious, multi-disciplinary entrepreneurs. We are a software-enabled, mission-driven company, and are focused only on the problems that are central to achieving that mission. At Sage, we work hard and fast but also know that to build a truly important company, we need to treat our work as a marathon, and not a sprint. The journey matters. About this Role We're hiring a Head of Strategic Programs to help us scale our Skilled Nursing (SNF) business from early traction to repeatable growth. We are at an inflection point in our growth. The Skilled Nursing product is evolving rapidly, and we need a cross-functional leader who can turn real-world deployments into scalable ways to sell, deliver, and expand. This role sits at the intersection of Product, Sales, and Operations. You will partner closely with the GM to drive execution across our most important initiatives-working directly with clients and sales teams to design solutions, while building the systems, insights, and playbooks that enable the broader team to scale. This is a hands-on, high-ownership role for someone who is equally comfortable driving execution, engaging with customers, and shaping strategy.
