at DirectShifts
DirectShifts has set out to modernize healthcare recruiting. We're a team of physicians, entrepreneurs, and problem solvers who have come together to solve major pain points facing employers and medical professionals today.
We have built a healthcare staffing technology platform that connects healthcare professionals directly with employers by using advanced technologies and digitizing the recruitment and staffing processes. Using an AI-based platform, DirectShifts matches the right clinicians to the right jobs at healthcare employers.
We have raised more than $45 million from world’s leading investors such as Serent Capital, YCombinator (first investor of Airbnb, Dropbox etc), Soma Capital (owners of Sacramento Kings), and others.
The Strategic Account Manager (SAM) will have the primary responsibility to grow our book of business within the existing contracted clients. They will do this by becoming the trusted staffing and recruiting partner to executives and senior administrators at those clients. The
Strategic Account Manager will need to balance:
● Identifying opportunities to expand into new departments / areas within our clients
● Ensuring we get access to as many job openings as possible, and then working with our internal team to deliver great candidates, quickly
● Maintaining existing relationships with executives and ensuring continued placement volume
● Managing the entire client experience - and ensuring it is a great one
This includes strategic elements such as building account plans, delivering business reviews, and managing contracts, as well as tactical elements such as posting of job orders, candidate submission, and issue resolution. The SAM will ensure excellent customer service is provided.
Overall, SAM is responsible for maintaining maximum productivity of all facilities within the assigned territory, and will work cross-functionally to bring resources to bear to achieve that goal. The AM will report to the SVP of Sales and Account Management in this function and will work closely with the Business Development and Delivery teams.
