Transforming the lives of those affected by severe mental illness

At Amae Health, we are dedicated to helping the 15.4 million Americans living with severe mental illness (SMI) lead stable, meaningful lives, while ending the cycle of repeat hospitalizations. In collaboration with some of the nation’s top academic medical centers, we’ve pioneered an innovative outpatient care model that combines compassionate, in-person psychiatric care with comprehensive wraparound support. Our integrated care teams — including psychiatrists, therapists, primary care physicians, health coaches, and peer support specialists — work together to treat the whole person via a unique model, addressing physical, mental, and social needs in unison. By caring for every aspect of our patients’ well-being, we help them not just survive, but truly thrive.

The Team:

At Amae we are a collective of healthcare operators and providers on a mission to create a radically different patient-first behavioral health care model that truly transforms patient’s lives by integrating care delivery, patient experience, cutting edge technology and research. Join a team of providers, operators, builders and technologists from One Medical, Forward Health, Hinge Health, Palantir, The Four Seasons, and Brightline as we redefine care for the most vulnerable populations - in our communities and across the nation.

The Opportunity:

Amae Health is seeking a strategic and relationship-driven Health Systems Partnership Lead to drive execution and growth of our partnerships with leading health systems. This role will oversee the success of each collaboration, from contract execution and market launch through ongoing performance and expansion. The Lead will serve as the central liaison between Amae and our partners, ensuring alignment across clinical, operational, and financial priorities.

What You Will Work On:

Market Launch and Execution

• Lead multiple high-speed health system partnership projects at once, ensuring timelines and quality standards are consistently met.
• Own the complete project lifecycle from BD handoff through implementation and post-launch stabilization, ensuring operational readiness, delivery excellence, and partner satisfaction.
• Coordinate cross-functional teams across both Amae (clinical, operations, facilities, IT, engineering, and supply chain) and partner organizations (clinical, operational, and IT stakeholders) to drive seamless execution.
• Lead status meetings and steering committees with hospital executives and partner teams to align deliverables with clinical, operational, and financial goals.
• Anticipate and resolve integration challenges or dependencies before they impact timelines or performance.
• Capture partner feedback throughout each launch, identify process improvements, and ensure a smooth transition to long-term partnership management and success.
  
  

Health System Partnerships and Success

• Collaborate with business development, analytics, and clinical teams to ensure partner needs are met and opportunities for mutual success are consistently identified and executed.

About You:

You are passionate about transforming the way care is delivered. You thrive at the intersection of strategy and execution and believe that operational excellence is a key driver of compassionate, patient-centered care. You are motivated by collaboration and impact, bringing together partners, teams, and systems to improve health outcomes and create meaningful change in people’s lives.

What you’ll have:

• 5+ years of experience in healthcare partnerships, market development, or operations
• Direct experience either working for or partnering with top academic medical centers and health systems
• Strong project management and relationship management skills.
• Experience leading cross-functional teams and collaborating with clinical and operational stakeholders.
