About the role
We’re looking for an exceptional leader to build and lead Thatch for Platforms across product and go-to-market. You’ll set the long-term strategy for the business, translate that strategy into product and commercial priorities, and develop a world-class team capable of executing against an ambitious vision.
You’ll serve as a trusted advisor to C-level executives at Fortune 500 businesses, helping them navigate the complexities of distributing healthcare benefits and identifying new ways Thatch can create value for their businesses and customers. You’ll bring the technical depth to guide our platform in the right long-term direction, the commercial judgment to turn customer needs into durable growth, and the leadership ability to attract, develop, and retain exceptional talent.
This is a highly cross-functional role with meaningful influence over Thatch’s product, technology, and go-to-market strategy. You’ll thrive here if you love moving between long-range strategy and hands-on execution, developing people, and building a category-defining business in a complex industry. If this energizes you, then we would love to talk to you!
