Vice President, Public Sector Sales (Healthcare SaaS)

About the Position

MedeAnalytics is seeking a Vice President of Government Strategic Growth to build and scale a high-performance revenue engine across state Medicaid agencies, managed care organizations (MCOs), and health systems, connecting our healthcare performance ecosystem.

Location Preference: East/Central

This executive will drive enterprise adoption of our AI-powered analytics, interoperability, quality/risk, utilization management, and managed actions platform - positioning the company as a transformation partner in Medicaid, rural and community health modernization and sustainability.

This is a critical leadership role in a PE-backed growth platform, responsible for accelerating revenue, expanding market share, and building durable competitive advantage in the government and private sector healthcare markets.

Responsibilities

• Architect and execute a repeatable go-to-market strategy across state Medicaid and connected stakeholders
• Close large, multi-year enterprise contracts ($10M+)
• Drive cross-buyer adoption (state agency + MCO + health system alignment)
• Position AI-driven analytics as a financial and operational lever - not a reporting tool
• Establish the company as the decision infrastructure layer for Medicaid transformation

Revenue Growth & Market Expansion

• Develop a 3-year public-sector expansion strategy
• Prioritize states aligned with Medicaid transformation, 1115 waivers, VBP acceleration, and rural stabilization initiatives
• Build and manage a predictable enterprise pipeline across state agencies, HHS departments, MCOs, and IDNs
• Close complex, multi-stakeholder enterprise deals (12–36 month sales cycles)

Executive-Level Market Positioning

Position the platform as:

• AI-driven decision support for financial outcome improvement
• A unifying interoperability layer across fragmented disparate data systems
• A quality and risk performance accelerator – HEDIS, STARS, Other
• A utilization management engine for cost management, denials, and prior authorizations
• A margin protection and reimbursement strategy for rural and safety-net providers

Complex Enterprise Orchestration

• Navigate state procurement, RFP processes, and legislative funding cycles
• Shape opportunities pre-RFP through executive engagement
• Align with CMS policy trends and federal funding streams
• Coordinate multi-party deals across states, MCOs, health systems, and integration partners

AI & Analytics Value Articulation

Translate platform capabilities into financial impact:

• Risk adjustment optimization
• HEDIS and quality performance gains
• Avoidable utilization reduction
• Value-based contract performance
• Care gap closure
• Rural hospital sustainability metrics
• Drive messaging around faster decision velocity, measurable margin impact, and reduced administrative friction.

PE-Aligned Commercial Discipline

• Build a repeatable state-entry playbook
• Shorten sales cycles through structured opportunity management
• Increase ACV and multi-year contract penetration
• Support EBITDA expansion through platform leverage
• Identify strategic partnerships and tuck-in opportunities

Requirements

• 10+ years enterprise healthcare sales experience
• Demonstrated success closing $5M–$25M+ contracts in healthcare
• Direct selling experience into state Medicaid agencies, Medicaid MCOs, and rural and community health systems
• Deep understanding of Medicaid financing, waivers, value-based care, risk adjustment, quality programs, and interoperability frameworks (HL7, FHIR)
• Proven success in a PE-backed or high-growth healthcare technology company

We Offer

• Base Salary: $165,000 - $195,000 USD + commission opportunities
• Comprehensive Medical, Dental, and Vision Coverage
• Company-Paid Life & AD&D Insurance, plus Short-Term and Long-Term Disability (STD/LTD)
