Provider Partnerships Associate (Territory Sales)

Frederick, MD

About Us

Nourish is on a mission to improve people's health by making it easy to eat well. Nutrition-related chronic disease is the largest and most overlooked crisis in the world. Food can be medicine: working with a Registered Dietitian is one of the most effective interventions available, but less than 1% of eligible Americans use their covered benefits.

Nourish is building an AI-native, patient-friendly healthcare system centered on nutrition that improves outcomes, lowers costs, and helps people live healthier, longer lives. We launched three years ago, are live in all 50 states, and already have thousands of dietitians and hundreds of thousands of patients on the platform.

We are growing quickly, have partnered with national health insurance companies and provider groups, and have raised $115M from top-tier VCs including JP Morgan Growth Equity, Thrive Capital, Index Ventures, Y Combinator, Maverick Ventures, Box Group, Atomico, G Squared, and Pinegrove Venture Partners. Our angel investors include world-class healthcare founders from Oscar, Rightway Health, Headway, Spring Health, and Alto Pharmacy, as well as soccer star Alex Morgan and the founders from Olipop and Notion.

About the Role

As a Provider Partnerships Associate (PPA), you'll help grow a provider referral territory by building strong partnerships with healthcare providers and their teams. This is a field-based sales role focused on driving patient referrals to Nourish through relationship-building, strategic territory growth, and consistent in-person engagement.

You'll spend the majority of your time in the field meeting with primary care physicians, specialists, medical assistants, office managers, and healthcare administrators; building trust, growing referral volume, and helping more patients access insurance-covered nutrition care.

This role combines relationship-building, new business development, and long-term account growth. Success comes from creating strong relationships, maintaining momentum within accounts, and consistently growing your territory over time.

This is a great opportunity for someone earlier in their sales career who is excited to learn how to build and grow a territory in a fast-paced healthcare environment.

You'll report directly to a Provider Partnerships Regional Manager and join a fast-growing, high-performance team focused on transforming healthcare through better nutrition access.

Please note: This is a full-time role and you must be located in Frederick, Maryland.

Key Responsibilities

In this role, you'll take full ownership of growing your territory and building lasting provider partnerships. You'll have both the autonomy and support to approach the work creatively and effectively, with a clear focus on driving patient impact. Core responsibilities include:

• Field Engagement: Spend ~5 days per week in the field, meeting with providers within an approximately 1-hour driving radius of your territory.
• Spotting Opportunities: Proactively research, prospect, and identify new provider partners.
• Connecting & Converting: Build trust and credibility with leads, converting them into referral partners who rely on Nourish for their patients' nutrition care.
• Fostering Relationships: Develop authentic, long-term relationships not only with providers but also with clinic staff including medical assistants, office managers, and administrators ensuring the entire office is engaged in supporting patient referrals.
• Contributing to Growth: Help shape the Provider Partnerships function by refining processes, creating resources, and sharing best practices that strengthen the team.

• You're passionate about Nourish's mission: You care deeply about improving healthcare access and believe nutrition is a vital part of the solution.
• You have a knack for building strong relationships: Building trust comes naturally to you, and you thrive on creating meaningful relationships at every level of a practice.

• You embrace ownership: You're self-driven, proactive, and comfortable stepping into ambiguity to figure things out, even when it means stepping outside of your comfort zone.
• You thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment: Change excites you - you adapt quickly and stay focused on results, while being flexible in your approach.
• You welcome coaching and feedback: You see growth as a team sport, and you're motivated by learning and continuous improvement.
