Your Daily Mission The Vice President, Health Plan Sales is a quota-carrying hunter responsible for identifying and closing new sales opportunities across both new and existing health plan and payor clients. This individual-contributor role owns an annual sales target of $3-5M, identifying and closing new, incremental opportunities — additional products, lines of business, or use cases — within Centauri's existing health plan accounts and built by prospecting new-logo Tier 1 health plans.This is a true hunter position, not an account-management role: the VP is measured on new opportunities identified and closed, whether the buyer is a brand-new health plan or a current Centauri client. Success depends on independently building and managing a pipeline that spans both fronts, running discovery, and leading each deal through proposal, pricing, contracting, and close. The VP will sell across Centauri's full product portfolio — powered by the Claros platform — translating each plan's priorities (revenue optimization, quality, risk adjustment, eligibility, retention, member engagement, and interoperability) into a multi-solution value proposition.The successful candidate will bring an established network in the health plan market, a disciplined and repeatable prospecting motion, and the ability to partner with the Head of Health Plan Sales, Client Success, and other cross-functional teams — Product, Delivery, Implementation, Legal, and Finance — to structure and close durable, multi-year agreements with new and existing clients alike.
