Senior Director/VP, MGU Partnerships

Most of what makes American healthcare expensive isn’t medical care. It’s the machinery wrapped around it: middlemen taking a cut, fraud nobody stops, and billing systems designed to fight over payment instead of deliver care. The result is higher premiums, denied claims, surprise bills, and a system patients increasingly experience as adversarial.

Arlo is rebuilding health insurance for small businesses from first principles: making sure as much of every premium dollar as possible goes to care instead of getting absorbed by the system around it. We do that by identifying fraud earlier, steering members toward higher-quality and lower-cost care, automating operational overhead, and eliminating vendors whose business exists mostly to take a cut.

AI is the foundation that makes this work. We use it across underwriting, operations, clinical programs, and member experience to build an insurer that becomes more efficient as the technology improves.

We’re already operating at meaningful scale: profitable, hundreds of millions in premiums, tens of thousands of members covered, and growing quickly through brokers, employers, and partners. Backed by Upfront Ventures, 8VC, and General Catalyst, with a team from Palantir, YC companies, and longtime healthcare operators.

We're looking for a strategic, relationship-driven Business Development Lead to own and grow our MGU stop-loss business with health plan and TPA partners. You'll be the primary point of accountability for partner success - driving revenue growth, strengthening relationships, improving plan performance, and ensuring issues get resolved quickly and completely.

You'll report to Arlo’s VP of Sales and work cross-functionally with underwriting, analytics, clinical, and operations teams. You will be working closely with our innovative plan partners to collaboratively design and improve modern health plan designs.
