About Us
We are a profitable healthcare technology company on a mission to transform and build the operating system for post-acute care. Each year, millions of seniors transition out of hospitals into skilled nursing facilities, home health, or back home — and far too often, that handoff fails them. Readmissions, medication errors, missed follow-ups, families left in the dark. Our products sit at the seams of that journey, giving providers, payers, and caregivers the visibility and tools to get the right care to the right person at the right time. Our Anna™ platform, through clinical intelligence, deep datasets, and connected technology, empowers providers & payors to collaborate to deliver exceptional outcomes, streamline care coordination, and enhance patient experience.
What makes PAA distinctive isn't the funding or the growth curve — it's how we work. Autonomy and ownership are non-negotiable: AI amplifies expertise, it doesn't replace it. User trust is infrastructure, not a metric. Architecture is product strategy, not engineering's problem.
The Opportunity
The VP of Strategy and Business Development is a senior commercial and strategic leader on the Growth team who partners directly with the CEO, as well as growth, product, & client teams, to shape where PAA plays, how we win, and how we create value in progressing our mission to reimagine the healthcare experience for the most vulnerable patients. This is a builder's role: part corporate strategist, part business development leader, and part enterprise growth architect. You'll own the strategic plan, drive top-of-funnel pipeline, evaluate organic and inorganic growth opportunities, and take promising new use cases from concept through pilot. You'll also own pricing strategy across our portfolio.
This person will operate at the intersection of the executive team, product, sales, finance, and our customers — and will be expected to develop strong relationships with senior executives at payer and health system clients.

- Partner with Clinical and Product to successfully bring at least one strategically prioritized new use case from opportunity assessment through validated pilot and commercialization readiness.
- A refreshed multi-year strategic plan translated into quarterly operating priorities the executive team runs against
