Partner with Product leaders to define the clinical problem, intended outcomes, member-facing clinical considerations, and evidence requirements for priority initiatives.

Join priority prospect, client, consultant, partner, and executive conversations; explain Hello Heart’s clinical model, address complex objections, and strengthen clinical credibility.

Help translate clinical, research, and economic evidence into clear and defensible claims, buyer narratives, presentations, RFP responses, and commercial assets.

Partner with Research and Actuarial to identify the studies, endpoints, analyses, and evidence needed to support priority product and market propositions.

Provide clinical input on high-consequence member-facing flows, clinical language, escalation criteria, safety guardrails, and external clinical claims.

Build and maintain strategic external relationships with clinicians, health systems, academic institutions, professional societies, consultants, and other relevant partners.

Represent Hello Heart at selected industry conferences, customer meetings, panels, and external forums.

Help establish a scalable operating model for clinical coverage, evidence translation, commercial enablement, and external clinical engagement.
