SVP Enterprise Client Engagement and Strategy

Remote$275k–$345kPosted Jul 31, 2026

Overview

The SVP Enterprise Client Engagement and Strategy is Cotiviti's most senior client-facing executive outside the C-suite. Reporting directly to the Chief Growth Officer, this leader carries full business line accountability for Cotiviti's client relationships — owning commercial performance, multi-year area strategy, and the function's contribution to enterprise revenue and growth.

The SVP Enterprise Client Engagement and Strategy is expected to shape how Cotiviti engages Cotiviti’s clients over the next three to five years, drive innovation in how the company delivers and captures value with clients, and provide meaningful input into long-term functional strategy at the five-year horizon and beyond. This leader translates Cotiviti's enterprise direction into a medium-term Client Engagement strategy that is concrete, differentiated, and commercially grounded.

Externally, this executive operates as an industry presence — not just a senior account manager. They influence how health plan executives think about performance, payment integrity, and analytics partnerships, and they carry Cotiviti's market narrative at the highest levels of the payer ecosystem.
