About the position:

The VP of Hospital & System Partnerships is the owner of AMO’s hospital and health system relationships. This leader builds and runs the top-down clinical partnerships engine that secures new relationships with hospital systems and their associated medical professionals to build a network of active clinical experiences for AMO's customers.

The role combines business strategy with senior level selling to C-suite executives, graduate medical education (GME) leaders, and other administrators. Specifically, this leader identifies and prioritizes health systems, hospitals, and clinics for outreach, then takes opportunities through the end-to-end sales funnel – from initial outreach through to pitching and contracting.

This role owns the top-down recruitment of clinical supply, which begins with facility contracting & leadership engagement and continues through preceptor identification, qualification, and engagement (in partnership with AMO’s clinical network development team) to build preceptor networks at acquired hospitals and turn that hospital capacity into core clerkship clinical slots that enable student rotations and generate revenue.

The VP of Hospital Partnerships and the VP of Clinical Network Development share ownership of AMO’s clinical network, the VPHP owning facility relationships and the VPCND owning the development of the preceptor network, working in collaboration to build our best-in-class Clinical Network. They set strategy together, deciding which health systems to pursue, how to scope and structure Network Development Services (NDS) engagements, and where to build clinical hubs. They also execute together, joining school and hospital conversations as-needed to recruit preceptors and close deals.

While this position can be fully remote, we are looking for candidates to be residents of Alabama, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Michigan, New York, Ohio, Texas, or Wisconsin.

Essential Functions:

Hospital and Health System Acquisition Strategy

• In consideration of company targets and contractual obligations to customers, set the national hospital acquisition strategy: define target health systems, prioritize them by capacity, geography, and fit with customer demand, and set the plan and timeline for onboarding new relationships.

• Provide strategic guidance on complex affiliation agreements and partnership terms.
• Keep contracting and affiliation processes clear, documented, and efficient, in partnership with Program Implementation teams.

Turning Hospital Partnerships into Clinical Supply

• Operationalize every new hospital partnership by 1) cultivating buy-in for AMO’s staffing model, 2) enabling recruitment of preceptors within the hospital's affiliated and employed providers (physicians, PAs, NPs, nurses, and others) and, 3) as applicable, winning commitments of preceptor capacity from relevant hospital leaders.
• Facilitate VPCND’s on-site recruitment events, referral programs, and targeted outreach to affiliated physician lists to secure new preceptor relationships in core and elective specialties
• Work with operations to identify gaps in AMO’s clinical network and lead the replacement or buffer recruitment for departed or underperforming facilities.

• Assist Sales team with preceptor strategy and availability for new and existing education partners.

Team Leadership and Site Management Oversight

• Direct the implementation and continued development of standard operating procedures (SOPs), checklists, and training so day-to-day site work can be handed to the implementation team, with the most valuable relationships routed to the acquisition team.
