Director, Strategic Partnerships

The Mindshare Referral Program represents one of Talkiatry’s biggest strategic bets for 2024 and beyond. This program is critical to our vision for transforming how mental healthcare integrates with traditional medicine. We are building the infrastructure that will help millions of patients access care when they need it most. We’ve proven the model works - now we’re scaling it.  

That's where you come in. As Director of Partnerships, you'll drive growth in key markets by building lasting relationships with regional health system leaders. You'll own the full partnership lifecycle - from initial outreach through successful launch - creating scalable approaches that expand access to care. This isn't just another sales role - it's a chance to transform mental healthcare delivery in your region.

We're looking for someone who combines strategic thinking with exceptional execution. You'll need to navigate complex health system dynamics, build compelling business cases, and drive deals to closure. If you're ready to own a territory and deliver partnerships that matter, this role is for you.

About Talkiatry:

Talkiatry transforms psychiatry with accessible, human, and responsible care. We’re a national mental health practice co-founded by a patient and a triple-board-certified psychiatrist to solve the problems both groups face in accessing and providing the highest quality treatment.   

60% of adults in the U.S. with a diagnosable mental illness go untreated every year because care is inaccessible, while 45% of clinicians are out of network with insurers because reimbursement rates are low, and paperwork is unduly burdensome.   With innovative technology and a human-centered philosophy, we provide patients with the care they need—and allow psychiatrists to focus on why they got into medicine.
