Principal, Strategic Partnerships (Private Equity)

Every time you call a doctor's office, the system forgets you the moment you hang up. You wait on hold, explain everything from scratch, get bounced between lines, and hope someone follows up. Everyone has felt this, and no one should have to.

At Assort Health, we are building the fix: one continuous conversation for every patient, across every modality: call, text, and message. An agent that knows who you are, remembers how you like to be reached, notices when something in your care changes, and carries that from your first symptom to your full recovery.

Assort is the fastest-growing AI agents company in healthcare. Our omnichannel agents handle calls, texts, and chats from end to end, integrating with EHR and PMS systems and the real-world preferences of every provider so patients reach the care they need without the wait.

Since launching the first voice AI to answer a phone call for a patient in 2023, Assort has handled over 170M patient interactions across ~8,000 providers and cut average hold times from 11 minutes to 1, driving real ROI for the practices we serve. We have built the largest specialty healthcare voice dataset in the world, spanning 62K care protocols and 1.6M decision pathways.

We are growing fast. We went from 15 people in 2025 to 170 today and are doubling again this year. Revenue has grown 15x in the last 15 months.

Backed by Lightspeed and First Round, we have raised over $100M at a $700M valuation. We were named to the 2026 Enterprise Tech 30 (as the only healthcare AI company on the list) and the Forbes Cloud 100 alongside OpenAI, Anthropic, Stripe, and Ramp.

The problem is wide open, and we are the team to solve it. If you want to build the solution for how hundreds of millions of people access care, come do it with us.

We are hiring a Principal, Strategic Partnerships (Private Equity) to build and scale one of Assort’s most important growth channels. This is a high-impact, external-facing role at the intersection of private equity, enterprise sales, and operator-led GTM strategy. You will own relationships with healthcare-focused PE firms and translate those relationships into a repeatable pipeline of high-quality opportunities across their portfolio companies.

This is a rare opportunity to sit at the intersection of private equity, AI, and healthcare transformation—and to build a high-leverage growth channel from the ground up.

You’ll work directly with our founders and executive leadership, engage with top-tier investors, and play a central role in shaping how AI is adopted across healthcare organizations at scale.

Your mandate is twofold:

1. Drive near-term revenue by sourcing and converting PE-generated opportunities

2. Build a scalable playbook that establishes Assort as the preferred AI partner across healthcare-focused PE firms

• Source and qualify deals, then partner closely with Specialty-focused Account Executives to drive them to close

• Lead strategic negotiations directly with PE firms when required

• Coordinate across a growing sales team covering specialty providers and health systems

• Partner with leadership on go-to-market strategy, pricing models, and packaging for PE-backed organizations

• Provide market feedback to inform product and positioning; be “the voice of our PE partners”

• Systematize learnings into a repeatable, scalable PE GTM playbook

• Define the long-term strategy for Assort’s private equity channel

A high-caliber operator who thrives in ambiguous, high-ownership environments and is excited to own both strategy and execution.

• 8–10+ years of experience in healthcare private equity, investment banking (healthcare), or a closely related field

• Deep understanding of healthcare delivery, including clinical, operational, and financial drivers across provider organizations

• Demonstrated ability to build relationships with senior stakeholders, including PE partners and C-suite executives

• Proven track record of owning outcomes, not just strategy

• Comfortable carrying a quota tied to pipeline and opportunity generation

• Excited to refine and scale a GTM motion

• Exceptional communicator with the ability to tailor messaging across audiences (PE partners, operators, internal teams)

• Strong executive presence and attention to detail

• Bias for action and speed; thrives in fast-paced, evolving environments

• Highly analytical and metrics-driven

• Naturally curious, intellectually honest, and principled in approach
