ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY Artera is seeking a Strategic Partner Manager who will own the full portfolio of Artera's strategic vendor and integration partner relationships. The job is to transform Artera from a customer to a strategic priority for every vendor and partner we depend on — and to professionalize how we manage, scale, and deliver value for customers from our partner ecosystem. Artera's platform sits at the center of a complex web of technology partners — EHR, CPaaS, cloud infrastructure, integration middleware, and partner ecosystem vendors. In its partner ecosystem alone, 60+ HCIT SaaS vendors work with Artera to deliver patient communications for shared customers on its messaging rails. Today, these relationships are managed across multiple people with no single point of accountability. That changes with this role.

Responsibilities • Strategic Partnerships: Manage and scale high-value relationships across EHR, CPaaS, cloud infrastructure, and marketplace categories; maintain direct vendor leadership access to bypass standard support queues. • Technical Bridge: Oversee the integrity and performance of all external technical integrations in partnership with internal stakeholders. • Interoperability Management: Direct technical relationships with interoperability and EHR vendors to ensure seamless, reliable data flow. • Ecosystem Operations: Scale marketplace onboarding by developing a standardized Partner Playbook, reducing internal stakeholder manual involvement. • Cross-Functional Leadership: Drive complex programs with internal and external stakeholders, managing end-to-end execution from joint planning to executive reporting. Requirements • Experience: 4–8+ years in partner management, technical program management, solutions / implementations, or a comparable role • Industry Experience: Working knowledge of the U.S. healthcare IT ecosystem — EHRs, middleware, point solutions, patient engagement • Strategic Relationship Experience: Experience working with integration vendors, EHRs, and/or interoperability programs • Technical Proficiency: Familiarity with API-based integrations and third-party systems • Operational Intelligence: Strong project management experience – ability to manage multiple workstreams and drive end-to-end execution across stakeholders simultaneously Bonus • Familiarity with HL7/FHIR and healthcare integration standards • Background in enterprise SaaS and/or digital health • Track record of structuring and negotiating partnership agreements • Prior experience working at or with telecom and/or EHR vendors OUR APPROACH TO WORK LOCATION Artera has hybrid office locations in Santa Barbara, CA, and Philadelphia (Wayne), PA, where team members typically come in three days a week. Specific frequency can vary depending on your team's needs, manager expectations and/or role responsibilities.

Specific roles may call out location preferences when relevant. As our hubs grow, we may establish local offices to further enhance in-person connection and collaboration. While there are no current plans in place, should an office open in your area, we anticipate implementing a hybrid model. Any future attendance expectations would be developed thoughtfully, considering factors like typical commute times and access to public transit, to ensure they are fair and practical for the local team.
