Strategic Partnerships Associate - Employers

Team: Operations

Commitment: Full Time

Corner Health is rebuilding primary care by helping Nurse Practitioners (NPs) start and scale their own independent practices. Our AI-native operating system handles everything from billing and insurance to patient communication and clinical workflows, giving providers more time to do what matters most: care for patients.

In the past year, we’ve become the fastest-growing primary care network in Arizona and Washington, supporting more than 150 provider-owned practices and over 60,000 patient visits.

Corner Health was founded by Lava Sunder and Anne Gifford and has raised $32.5M from Oak HC/FT, First Round Capital, Zigg Capital, and the founders of Door Dash, Commure, Grow Therapy, Kindred, Culdesac, and more.

At Corner Health, we’re building something fundamentally different: a network of hyper-local, independent, in-person primary care practices powered by modern technology. This is a completely new model of care. Today, 88% of patients prefer a provider powered by Corner Health over other options, and patients return at twice the national average rate - not because of marketing, but because the experience actually works.

• Be Our Face in the Phoenix Market: Represent Corner Health at local benefits, HR, and business community events, and build the relationships that make us the go‑to primary care partner for Arizona employers.
