At TELUS, we are transforming health care with innovative solutions that empower people to live healthier lives and our TELUS Health Strategic Partnerships team is on a mission to improve access to primary care, mental health, chronic disease management and aging-in-place solutions. We are achieving this goal by partnering with public sector organizations to deliver trusted products and services directly to Canadians. Over the past five years, our team has grown exponentially through the design and delivery of innovative, high-quality products and services. With major investments in our product roadmap and an expansion of our channel strategy, it's an exciting time to join our passionate and purpose-driven team!

 

We are seeking a Senior Healthcare Strategist to lead our growth and relationship strategy in Alberta, one of our critical growth markets. You will be responsible for shaping market access, building influential relationships, and positioning our organization as a trusted partner to the provincial health system.

 

Success in this role requires more than healthcare experience, you must understand how decisions actually get made in Alberta, who influences them, and how to align priorities across government, health system leaders, and internal teams to unlock growth.

Market Development & Growth Strategy

 

  • Own and drive the Alberta growth strategy, with a focus on provincial and system-level opportunities
  • Identify, shape, and advance opportunities within health-related Government of Alberta ministries and related agencies
  • Translate system priorities (e.g., access, workforce pressures, rural care, digital health, aging-in-place) into collaborative partnership strategies and actionable growth plans

 

Relationship Building & Influence

 

  • Leverage your government network to accelerate insights, relationship-building, and partnership development to accelerate access, insights, and deal progression
  • Establish and deepen senior relationships across across health-related Government of Alberta ministries and key ecosystem stakeholders
  • Act as a credible, informed partner by aligning solutions to system priorities and political realities
  • Navigate complex stakeholder environments with competing priorities and incentives

 

Strategic Positioning & Deal Shaping

 

  • Lead the development of tailored value propositions that demonstrate TELUS solutions address provincial priorities and align with funding models
  • Shape opportunities before formal procurement processes begin
  • Support and influence RFP strategies, partnerships, and contract structures
  • Work cross-functionally to align internal teams around winning strategies

 

Thought Leadership & Market Presence

 

  • Represent the organization in Alberta’s healthcare ecosystem through forums, roundtables, and industry events
  • Contribute to the broader narrative around healthcare transformation in Alberta
  • Identify policy, funding, and regulatory shifts that create opportunity or risk

 

 

Qualifications

 

You are the missing piece of the puzzle

 

You are likely in a similar position today, with many of the following abilities and experience points:

 

  • You have spent 5 or more years working in Alberta’s public healthcare system, government, government relations, and/or closely related sectors
  • You have established relationships with Ministry-level stakeholders
  • You bring a demonstrated ability to influence decisions, not just respond to them
  • You have a deep understanding of Alberta’s healthcare structure, funding mechanisms, and political landscape
  • You are a highly effective communicator and facilitator, with a storytelling talent to distill complexity into clarity
  • You are a strategic thinker with the ability to translate healthcare trends and client feedback into business opportunities
  • You are known for resilience, being self-directed, and are comfortable managing ambiguity
  • You are willing to travel within Canada to meet clients and attend industry events

 

Great to haves:

 

We’re especially motivated to meet with individuals with:

 

  • Bachelor’s degree in Business, Public Policy, Health Administration, or related field; an MBA or clinical designation would be a considerable asset
