At Sword, we’re building AI to heal billions and unlock humanity’s full potential. In doing so, we’re pioneering AI Care, a fundamentally new approach to healthcare built for medical reasoning, safety, and real-time treatment, not generic technology applied after the fact. As both a clinical-centric frontier AI lab and an applied AI platform, Sword is reimagining how care is delivered at scale, removing traditional barriers like appointments, waiting rooms, and stigma so more people can access the care they need - and ultimately get back to lives lived in full.

Since 2020, Sword has expanded across Musculoskeletal, Women’s Health, Cardiometabolic, and Mental Health, and is now moving beyond the session to a fully AI-native, 24/7 care program that brings physical activity, therapeutic exercise, psychotherapy, nutrition, and behavior change into one connected experience. More than 1 million members across three continents have completed over 15 million AI sessions, helping 2,000+ enterprise clients avoid more than $1 billion in unnecessary healthcare costs. Backed by 59 clinical studies, 43 patents, and more than $500 million raised from leading investors including Khosla Ventures, General Catalyst, and Founders Fund, Sword is defining a new standard for healthcare.

Role

Sword is looking for an Advisor, Health Plans to own several of our most strategically important health-plan relationships. This is a senior individual-contributor role with direct accountability for revenue retention, member marketing access, relationship strength, and the account conditions that enable cross-sell and upsell.

You will act as the general manager of a concentrated payer portfolio. The work spans claims and ROI economics, marketing approvals, member access, product expansion, executive relationships, and complex operating dependencies across Sword, the plan, its subsidiaries, employer groups, and other stakeholders. Success requires the judgment to identify the real constraint, the analytical depth to understand the economics and evidence personally, and the authority to mobilize teams you do not manage.

Sales will own commercial negotiations. You will make those negotiations more likely to succeed by building the relationships, gathering the intelligence, shaping the business case, and resolving the operating and value questions that determine retention and growth.

AI Proficiency at Sword Health

AI fluency is a core expectation at Sword Health. Every candidate is assessed against our three-level framework — be ready to share real examples of how AI is already part of how you work.

• Explorer (Level 1) — Uses AI daily to boost personal productivity

• Builder (Level 2) — Creates workflows and tools that elevate the whole team

• Integrator (Level 3) — Embeds AI into products and processes at scale

Every hire must demonstrate at least Level 1. The expected level will vary depending on the seniority of the role.

Own the success of a concentrated portfolio of strategic health-plan relationships, protecting revenue retention and creating the conditions for growth.

Secure and expand the approvals, channels, data, and subsidiary participation that put Sword in front of eligible members, then determine whether that access is producing enrollment, utilization, and value.

Build a multi-threaded network across economic, clinical, operational, and executive stakeholders, including the people who can quietly block access, renewal, or expansion.

Interrogate claims, utilization, outcomes, guarantees, attribution, and ROI evidence, then lead account strategy, value communication, business reviews, and escalations.

Partner with Sales on cross-sell and upsell and mobilize Sword's internal specialists as resources in an account plan you still own.

Operate with significant autonomy, identifying emerging risks and opportunities, defining strategy where playbooks do not exist, and driving execution across the organization.
