About Nayya
At Nayya, we believe there’s a better way to choose benefits. A more transparent, less confusing way for employees to control their health and financial potential. Powered by billions of data points and machine learning, our benefits experience platform delivers personalized decision support and guidance during open enrollment, new employee onboarding, qualifying life events, and in the moments that matter all year round. This is one of the most stressful and challenging situations consumers face – and we see that as an opportunity to build an innovative response that can help millions of Americans possess the control and understanding they deserve.
Head of Strategic Partnerships will be responsible for creating and managing high-impact relationships at multiple strategic levels at our carrier partners. These relationships will be held with the carrier at various levels: from day to day contacts to decision makers and senior leaders. This leader will involve other Nayya staff to maintain multi faceted connections and strengthen the overall relationship. This role will understand the carrier’s organization, structure, objectives and concerns in order to ensure that they are able to align Nayya services to best meet the needs of the carrier.
This role requires a strong understanding of group/health benefits and carrier economics, a growth lens, ability to influence, and exceptional relationship management skills across a highly fragmented organization. The Head of Strategic Partnerships demonstrates a thorough understanding of Nayya’s product portfolio and how multiple products can amplify outcomes. This role will be responsible for driving engagement and expansion through all stages of the client life cycle and renewal process.
The ideal candidate will be apt in building strong relationships with strategic customers. You will be able to “tell the story” and demonstrate value to promote Nayya’s solutions and achieve mutual success.
