Description
About CareLumi
CareLumi is the verification layer for healthcare AI. We check the work of people, software, and AI across healthcare, so every action can be confirmed against trusted sources and traced back to who is responsible. We are a small, fast-moving team, and your work ships to real customers.
What You'll Do
- Qualify partners: Research and score potential partners by fit, audience, and the customers they reach, such as medical staffing agencies, health systems, and large group practices.
- Run targeted outreach: Draft and send personalized outreach, and prepare the CEO and Growth team for partner calls with short briefs.
- Track relationships: Keep every partner's status, contacts, next step, and owner current in the CareLumi Hub.
- Follow up: Make sure every open conversation has a date and a next step, and that no warm partner goes quiet.
- Support execution: Help draft partner one-pagers, co-marketing plans, and agreement checklists, and coordinate with the team to launch each partnership.
- Support association and ecosystem work: Help prepare materials for co-developing AI verification frameworks and webinars with professional associations and standards bodies.
- Support events: Help prepare partner outreach around conferences, including Who Verifies Healthcare AI, CareLumi's first industry conference in May 2027.
- Report: Summarize partner activity and learnings for the team each week.
What We're Looking For
- Strong written communication and professional email habits, such as clear subject lines and prompt replies
- Comfort researching organizations and turning messy information into clean lists and summaries
- Discipline about follow-up: you keep lists and keep your promises
- Curiosity about healthcare, startups, and how partnerships drive growth
- Confidence reaching out to new people and building trust over time
- Respect for confidentiality
- Experience with CRM tools, spreadsheets, or business development is a plus. Healthcare experience is not required.
What You'll Learn
- How channel partnerships, referrals, and revenue sharing work in B2B healthcare technology
- How to qualify partners and prioritize the ones that bring customers
- How healthcare associations and standards bodies work with industry
- How to manage a relationship pipeline from first contact to execution
How Success Is Measured
- First 30 days: A qualified, ranked partner list; outreach underway; every active relationship tracked in the Hub with a next step and date.
- By the end of the term: Multiple partner conversations advanced, and clear support delivered toward at least one partnership agreement or launch.
