VP, Payvider and Risk-Bearing Entity Sales

The VP, Sales Payvider/RBE is a senior hunter who owns a defined set of provider-sponsored health plans and risk-bearing provider entities (such as MA-risk ACOs, IPAs, MSOs, and value-based care groups) and grows Cozeva-Vatica Health's Risk Adjustment and Quality Solutions within them. This role's objective is to open doors with organizations that carry financial risk for a population and must perform on quality and risk adjustment at the point of care. The VP reports to the Chief Growth Officer and is accountable for revenue, pipeline, and cost of sale. The ideal candidate has 5+ years selling into health plans or risk-bearing provider organizations, has closed complex deals with senior executives, and has a record of exceeding quota.

• Own revenue, pipeline, and expense targets for assigned payvider and risk-bearing accounts
• Prospect, earn referrals, and book meetings with C-level and senior leaders, including CEOs, CFOs, CMOs, population health leaders, and heads of risk adjustment, quality, and network
• Build and execute an account plan for each organization that maps the risk contracts held (e.g., MA, ACO REACH, MSSP, Medicaid, commercial), the health plan partners it depends on, and named buyers, with a clear path to land each one
• Build the business case in the buyer's terms: RAF capture, quality bonus and shared savings performance, and medical margin
• Lead negotiation of complex contracts and pricing, working with Legal and Finance on MSAs, SOWs, and SLAs, and structure any outcomes-linked pricing with Finance

• Represent Cozeva-Vatica at key industry events (e.g., RISE, Risk Adjustment Summits, AHIP, NAACOS meetings, and value-based care conferences) and use them to set executive meetings
