About the role

Original posting from Assorthealth via Ashby

OUR MISSION IS TO MAKE EXCEPTIONAL HEALTHCARE ACCESSIBLE ANYTIME, ANYWHERE, FOR ANYONE.

At Assort Health, we believe healthcare should feel effortless and connected — quick answers, clear communication, and seamless access to care. That’s why we’re building a new foundation for how patients and providers connect, driven by AI, built to embrace the complexities of healthcare, and tailored to each provider’s unique needs.

Assort is the most comprehensive patient experience platform powered by specialty-specific agentic AI. Assort’s omnichannel AI agents seamlessly integrate with EHR/PMS and complicated provider preferences to eliminate lengthy hold times and inefficiencies that stand in the way of patients getting the care they need.

Since launching in 2023, Assort has managed over 150M+ patient interactions, slashing average hold times from 11 minutes to 1 minute. Our platform now handles calls for thousands of providers with 98%+ resolution rates and 99% scheduling accuracy. Patient satisfaction averages 4.5/5 over 52K reviews, and we’ve achieved 20× revenue growth in 2025. We’re scaling rapidly and expanding adoption across the entire healthcare industry.

ABOUT THE ROLE:

EHR and Practice Management (PM) systems sit at the center of the healthcare ecosystem, and we believe deep, strategic relationships with these organizations are foundational to winning the market. As a key member of the Partnerships team, we’re seeking a leader who can build and own our partnership motion with the EHR/Practice Management ecosystem.

You’ll operate as Assort’s business-side expert on the EHR/Practice Management landscape — identifying strategic integration opportunities, navigating partnership and marketplace processes, negotiating commercial relationships, and creating durable channels for revenue and distribution.

This role requires someone who can move fluidly between strategy and execution: one day negotiating a multi-quarter partnership agreement with executive stakeholders, the next coordinating internally to accelerate an API integration or unlock co-selling opportunities.

This is a high-impact, highly cross-functional role with visibility across leadership, sales, product, engineering, and customer teams.
