AVP, Commercial (Employers)

About the role

At Covera, we're committed to ensuring high-quality healthcare is more than just a promise. That's why we're leading the way in the emerging science of quality, and connecting providers and payers in their shared quest to improve patient outcomes and care quality. By tackling this challenge, we have the ability to impact millions of lives by raising the standard of care nationwide. Our initial focus is radiology, where an early and accurate diagnosis has a profound impact on the rest of a patient's care journey. Through our work, which uses clinically-validated science-based tools, we're helping doctors enhance their care, ensuring patients get the right diagnosis, and enabling the healthcare system to support quality improvement at scale. Through our clinical intelligence platform, we have launched programs that help people access the most effective care and provide doctors with AI-powered quality insights and tools to enhance their care. Today, Covera is partnered with leading employers, payers and healthcare organizations across the US, including Walmart and Microsoft. And, with a pipeline representing over 25% of insured Americans, we are in the early stages of improving care quality for all patients across the globe. Covera is seeking a highly strategic and execution-focused leader to build and drive go-to-market efforts specifically with large self-insured employers. In this role, you will scale our employer channel, grow revenue, and help shape solutions that directly meet employer needs. The ideal candidate thrives in ambiguity, is energized by building from scratch, and is equally comfortable engaging C-suite executives and building a pipeline from scratch. In this role, you will be expected to: Identify, develop, and close new business opportunities with large self-insured employers. Own the full sales cycle with employer clients, from outreach through contracting and launch. Build strong relationships with employer stakeholders, including HR, Benefits, Total Rewards, Finance, and executive leadership. Serve as a trusted advisor to employers on healthcare quality, cost management, and employee outcomes. Partner with Product, Clinical, and Analytics teams to align employer needs with Covera's offerings. Shape messaging and materials tailored to employer value propositions (cost savings, outcomes, employee experience). Provide direct employer market feedback to inform product development and pricing. Represent Covera at employer-focused events and industry forums. Special Considerations: This is a quota carrying position. The target total compensation for this role is % base salary plus % achieved through hitting sales targets. Although we are a remote-first company, this role involves periodic travel to meet with prospects and partners in-market, as well as to attend select industry events. Because this is a newly created position, travel needs will vary and evolve over time. Most likely we anticipate this being trips 2x per month, for 3 days per trip.
