• Care first:

The opportunity:

As a Senior Engagement Manager on Stepful's Workforce Solutions team, you'll be at the forefront of helping healthcare employers tackle one of their most pressing challenges: building the workforce of the future. You'll work directly with leaders at major health systems to design and configure Stepful programs-tailoring them to each partner's needs while ensuring solutions are practical, scalable, and set up for measurable success.

This is a strategic, cross-functional role. You'll partner with Sales to shape deal strategy, collaborate with Learning, Operations, and Client Success to de-risk delivery, and act as a thought partner to clients-sharing best practices from across the industry. Beyond individual deals, you'll help shape Stepful's go-to-market motion and strengthen our position as a trusted partner to healthcare employers nationwide.

What you'll do:

In this role, you can expect to:

• Lead program design conversations during the sales process, facilitating client discovery to uncover client goals, operational realities, and implementation risks
• Drive alignment with employer partners to configure Stepful programs to fit client needs
• Lead internal cross-functional alignment, surfacing program design and delivery considerations and driving alignment across internal teams are ready for launch
• Accelerate deal cycles by clarifying dependencies and enabling decision-making for clients and internal stakeholders
• Join and lead early and critical client meetings to present solution options, share best practices, and position Stepful as a thought partner
• Serve as the implementation lead, ensuring the solution for each client is set for launch and understood by post-sales teams
• Act as a subject matter expert on Stepful's programs, delivery models, and workforce development trends

What you'll bring:

• You have experience managing senior client relationships at large, complex organizations-building trust, navigating difficult conversations, and influencing decisions
• You have very strong project management skills, able to drive complex, multi-stakeholder program design and implementation planning
• You bring commercial acumen - a knack for understanding opportunities to better serve a client, and the ability to influence toward deepening a partnership
• You love operating both at both the "big picture" and "detailed" altitudes - you can think strategically, and execute to bring that vision to life
• You excel at influencing without direct authority, structuring and facilitating effective conversations that surface issues and generate actions on decisions from cross-functional owners
• You are data- and outcomes-driven, using metrics to refine solutions and ensure success
• You thrive in fast-paced, evolving environments and are excited to help build processes for scale

Bonus points if:

• Experience in solution consulting, management consulting, or a B2B go-to-market role (sales, client success, partnerships)
• Background in education, healthcare, workforce development, or tech-enabled services
• Excitement to build a new function-codifying playbooks, tools, and best practices for scale
