Partnerships and Business Development Associate

Seen Health, Los Angeles, CA, United States


About Seen Health
At Seen Health, we are revolutionizing the way senior care is delivered through the PACE (Programs of All‑Inclusive Care for the Elderly) model. Backed by top VC investors, Seen Health is a culturally‑focused, technology‑enabled health organization that integrates comprehensive medical care and social support with a high‑touch, interdisciplinary approach.

Our mission is to empower seniors to age‑in‑place with dignity and provide their families peace of mind. We build on a proven home‑and‑community‑based services model to create a culturally competent and scalable PACE program. We also build a comprehensive operating system focused on data and workflows that span systems, processes, people, and care contexts. Our clinicians and staff have tools that deliver relevant data at the time and site of care, enabling them to deliver exceptional care that improves clinical outcomes, participant and provider satisfaction, and ultimately strengthens our organization.

We are a mission‑driven, multidisciplinary team with deep healthcare, technology, and operations expertise, each inspired by our own personal stories of caring for seniors in our lives. Our name, Seen Health, reflects our commitment to provide the highest standard of care to underserved older adults while respecting and incorporating their individual beliefs, heritage, and values, so that they can truly be seen.

About the Role
At Seen Health, expansion is the engine that allows us to bring our transformative PACE model to more seniors. Our growth depends on the ability to architect complex, sustainable partnerships that enter and scale in new markets with speed and local resonance.

Reporting directly to the Head of Expansion, you will be a key driver of new market entry. This is a high‑ownership, externally‑facing role for someone who thrives building relationships, representing the organization with confidence, and getting things done without a lot of hand‑holding. You will work across two interconnected areas: local business development in the San Gabriel Valley and greater LA area, and new market expansion research and early relationship‑building across emerging PACE markets nationally. This is not a back‑office role. You will attend community meetings, speak on the phone with health officials and prospective partners, and attend conferences. If you love building from the ground up and want to see your work have a direct impact on how we grow, this is the job.
