Company overview:

Cohere Health is illuminating healthcare for patients, their doctors, and all those who are important in a patient’s healthcare experience, both in and out of the doctors office.  Founded in August, 2019, we are obsessed with eliminating wasteful friction patients and doctors experience in areas that have nothing to do with health and treatment, particularly for diagnoses that require expensive procedures or medications.  To that end, we build software that is expressly designed to ensure the appropriate plan of care is understood and expeditiously approved, so that patients and doctors can focus on health, rather than payment or administrative hassles.

Opportunity overview:

Cohere is looking for a dynamic self-starter to join our Strategic Partnerships team who will support the company’s strategic relationships that will drive value for Cohere and our partners.

In addition, you will be charged with assisting on strategic partnership development operations work such as preparing pitch materials and supporting deal execution. You will report to the VP of Strategic Partnerships but will interface with all clinical, product, and commercial team members.
