Director of Healthcare Innovation, Benefits Data Trust

Posted by Benefits Data Trust on February 4, 2020

Benefits Data Trust (BDT) seeks a Director of Healthcare Innovation to lead its sales efforts and expand its business with healthcare organizations, in order to ultimately improve people’s health and reduce care costs at scale. As the healthcare sector shifts from fee for service to fee for value, risk-bearing healthcare entities are looking to invest in strategies that address the social determinants of health (SDoH) and pursue the triple aim. BDT is looking for a seasoned strategic leader who can partner with healthcare executives as their organizations seek to deploy true population health interventions using proven solutions, technologies, and service models.

What does BDT do? BDT helps people live healthier, more independent lives by creating smarter ways to access essential benefits and services such as Medicaid and SNAP (the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program). It has developed a scalable, evidenced-based, RoI-positive model for benefits outreach and enrollment that helps people meet their most basic needs. Given the power of BDT’s model and the innovation afoot in healthcare, the time has never been better for BDT to secure its place as a premier healthcare partner for a solvable slice of the SDoH challenge, namely benefits access. The Director of Healthcare Innovation will lead BDT’s go-to-market strategy, direct and engage in relationship development and maintenance, and secure contracts and novel payment arrangements with diverse healthcare entities.

Based in our Center City Philadelphia office, the Director of Healthcare Innovation reports to the Chief Finance & People Officer.
