1. Job Purpose
The Clinic Partnership Manager is the primary relationship owner for OKKO Health’s USA clinic partners. This role is externally focused – responsible for onboarding new clinics, managing ongoing account relationships, driving customer satisfaction, and identifying expansion opportunities across the ophthalmology and optometry clinic base.
This role ensures every clinic partner has a seamless, high-quality experience from contract signature through to long-term success, acting as the single point of contact for clinician-facing queries, onboarding coordination, and commercial support.
The Clinic Partnership Manager works closely with the Operations Associate but operates on the opposite side of a clear boundary: this role owns the clinic relationship and customer experience; the Operations Associate owns the back-end operational machinery and third-party service provider oversight.
