WHAT YOU’LL DO

As Director of Corporate Development & Strategy, you will play a critical role in shaping Daymark’s next phase of growth. You will work closely with the executive team to identify, evaluate, and execute strategic opportunities that expand our reach across oncology providers, health plans, and new lines of business.

This role reports into Daymark’s Finance leadership, reflecting its close connection to capital allocation, financial strategy, and the evaluation of new growth opportunities. At the same time, the role operates highly cross-functionally across the organization. You will partner closely with leaders across Growth, Clinical, Product, and Operations to develop and execute strategic initiatives that expand Daymark’s reach and impact.

You will sit at the intersection of strategy, partnerships, and innovation in value-based oncology care. This includes evaluating new business lines, assessing emerging value-based payment models (including CMS Innovation Center programs), and helping design partnership models that allow Daymark to scale.

You will also serve as a strategic partner to leadership on key growth initiatives — helping prepare for provider and payer partnership discussions, supporting executive-level strategy conversations, and developing the strategic analyses and materials that help Daymark win and execute new opportunities.

• Support strategic partnership opportunities with providers and health plans by developing financial models, market assessments, and executive-ready materials

• Drive preparation for key executive meetings with provider and payer partners

After 12 months you will…

• Develop structured frameworks for evaluating joint ventures, risk-bearing partnerships, and new care delivery models
• Support the development of new strategic partnerships with providers and health plans
• Become a trusted strategic advisor to the executive team on growth initiatives

After 18 months you will...

• Establish repeatable processes for evaluating new payment models, partnerships, and business lines
• Play a central role in shaping Daymark’s long-term growth strategy across providers, payers, and new lines of business
