What the job involves
- We’re hiring a Head of Strategic Programs to help us scale our Skilled Nursing (SNF) business from early traction to repeatable growth
- We are at an inflection point in our growth. The Skilled Nursing product is evolving rapidly, and we need a cross-functional leader who can turn real-world deployments into scalable ways to sell, deliver, and expand
- This role sits at the intersection of Product, Sales, and Operations. You will partner closely with the GM to drive execution across our most important initiatives—working directly with clients and sales teams to design solutions, while building the systems, insights, and playbooks that enable the broader team to scale
- This is a hands-on, high-ownership role for someone who is equally comfortable driving execution, engaging with customers, and shaping strategy
- Lead execution across pilots, enterprise rollouts, and high-priority initiatives
- Establish operating cadence to drive accountability, speed, and cross-functional alignment
- Track and deliver against key metrics including adoption, time-to-value, ROI, and customer satisfaction
- Identify and resolve risks to ensure successful deployments and strong customer outcomes
- Partner with Sales and enterprise clients to design, scope, and deliver solutions tailored to complex SNF, CCRC and healthcare environments
- Build playbooks, tools, and processes that enable Sales to win and Operations to deliver excellence
- Translate early wins into clear, repeatable models for implementation and expansion
- Partner with GTM teams to refine positioning, sales motion, and expansion strategy
- Reduce friction across the customer lifecycle—from initial sale through ongoing delivery and expansion
- Support high-stakes client and prospect meetings, shaping solution design, implementation approach, and ROI narrative
- Act as the voice of the customer, translating operational and clinical insight into product direction
- Partner closely with Product to shape roadmap, packaging, and positioning
- Identify gaps between product capabilities and market needs and drive solutions
- Ensure product evolution improves sellability, implementability, and measurable impact
- Develop dashboards and reporting that tie customer performance to revenue outcomes
- Translate data into clear, actionable insights for leadership and cross-functional teams
- Equip Sales and Customer teams with ROI narratives that support expansion
- Ensure real-time visibility into performance, risks, and growth opportunities
Our take
In the event of an accident or fall, elder care facilities largely rely on outdated nurse call systems, which can mean residents wait longer than necessary to receive care or attention. Sage solves this problem by providing carers and institutions with a modern operating system.
Sage's caregiver app allows carers to identify patients in need of help, as well as providing tools for triage and the reviewing of care information. As one of the first companies to bring a data-driven approach to elder care in this way, Sage has received strong attention and raised impressive funding, most recently with the acquisition of $65M.
The age-tech market is growing steadily, and becoming more competitive, which means Sage will need to invest heavily in scaling its outreach in order to consolidate its progress. That said, it has established an early foothold which gives it a place to work from as it develops into the future.
