We are trusted by a rapidly growing number of health systems, hospitals, and physician groups and are backed by leading venture capital investors, including NEA, SignalFire, Viola Group, and 7Wire Ventures.
About the RoleWe are seeking a strategic and results-oriented SVP, Health System Partnerships, to lead our full sales lifecycle. You will build a durable, executive-level provider revenue engine. Your mandate is to win net-new health systems, deepen executive relationships, and establish PayZen as an indispensable strategic partner. We are looking for team members who are passionate about contributing to the growth of a product that’s improving access to healthcare for all Americans.
In this role, you will report to the CCO, collaborating closely with Product, Partnerships, Engineering, and RevOps.
This is a remote role. We're open to candidates based in the U.S. The position requires significant travel to health systems and industry events, as well as regular time with the team in the Bay Area.
This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a mission-driven organization poised for significant growth.
ResponsibilitiesEnterprise Growth & Expansion: Own the commercial lifecycle across target health systems. Drive net-new account acquisition and build a repeatable expansion motion to cross-sell and upsell new offerings like financial assistance automation and the Care Card.
Sales Operating System: Implement a rigorous, world-class enterprise sales operating system. Enforce clear stage definitions, deal inspection, close planning, and highly accurate forecasting.
Executive Engagement: Act as the senior, credible counterpart to health system CFOs and RCM leaders. Own critical financial conversations regarding yield, MDR, recourse vs. non-recourse, and balance-sheet implications.
Account Ownership: Design and run the coverage model for live partners. Make sellers quota-accountable from the first meeting through renewal, and institutionalize strategic relationship coverage via executive mapping and QBRs.
Cross-Functional Integration: Build a tight customer-to-product intelligence loop with Product and Engineering. Establish seamless handoffs with Provider Value Delivery and run the channel-sales overlay alongside Partnerships/BD.
Team Building: Recruit, develop, and retain a high-performing team of enterprise sellers and leaders. Manage performance firmly and continuously evolve organizational design and territory coverage as PayZen scales.
Enterprise Sales Leadership: Proven hunting motion track record. Deep experience opening and closing new enterprise accounts, managing multi-stakeholder buying committees, and navigating IT, security, and Epic integration reviews.
Operational Rigor: A strict operational leader who runs a tight ship. Treats territory planning, pipeline coverage, and forecasting as repeatable processes rather than heroic efforts.
People Management: A proven player-coach who has built, not just inherited, teams. Identifies exceptional talent, manages performance fairly, and develops leaders who can execute complex deals independently.
Expansion Expertise: Strong background executing a land-and-expand motion. Experienced in holding sellers accountable for the ongoing success and growth of the accounts they win.
Ecosystem Navigation: Savvy operating in a partner-heavy ecosystem. Capable of successfully selling alongside end-to-end revenue cycle vendors without creating channel conflict.

PayZen Insights
What We Do
PayZen's embedded, AI-powered patient financing solutions drive a significant revenue lift for healthcare providers while improving patient affordability and satisfaction. Our platform automatically engages patients who need flexible payment options and offers them interest-free payment plans for up to 60 months tailored to their unique ability to pay. At the same time, we can pre-fund providers without recourse, eliminating bad debt and bringing A/R days to zero. Providers get a much higher patient payment rate and accelerated cash. Patients get affordable access to care and an intuitive payment experience. While we got our start in patient financing, PayZen's vision is broader than breaking large balances into monthly payments. We are building an integrated, data-driven platform that automates manual processes to holistically address the affordability needs of patients, resulting in an overall increase in revenue for providers. We have an amazing team, a big market and top tier investors. More importantly, our mission is our motivator: we are hyper-focused on making a dent in America's healthcare affordability crisis, improving the lives of patients and providers alike.
Why Work With Us
At PayZen, we are building an efficient and effective team of “A-players” with a big goal: transform access to healthcare. That requires intentionality around how we show up to work everyday. We’ve defined a set of values and a playbook called, The PayZen Way to keep us aligned, focused, and moving forward together.
