Sales Executive - Partnership Development

About Us:
Azara Healthcare is a leading population health and value based care (VBC) technology company, with deep roots in serving Medicaid providers. Working hand in hand with these mission-driven organizations that provide care to such complex patient populations has shaped our culture and values, and has allowed us to expand into other provider and payer markets.


Our solutions support all aspects of population health including quality measurement, care management, cost and utilization analysis, provider and patient engagement and payer and provider strategic data exchange. Our clients use our award-winning solutions to pursue customized population health initiatives, payer-driven value-based contracts, and state and federal government reporting requirements such as the Health Resource and Services Administration (HRSA) Unified Data System (UDS).

We provide quality measurement, value-based care analytics, and reporting for more than 1,000 physician practices and networks, Community Health Centers, Primary Care Associations, HCCNs, risk-bearing provider groups, and regional health plans across 49 states to improve the quality and efficiency of care for more than 45 million Americans. Creating innovative technology solutions to provide actionable clinical, financial, and operational insights, while supporting provider and patient behavior change, is complicated. But the payoff is a world where we all live healthier lives and spend less money to do so. And that's a world we believe is worth working towards.
