About Somethings
Somethings is building the first social wellness platform for teens — a place where a teen can form a real relationship with a mentor who gets them, sticks with them, and helps them get better.
25 million teens in the U.S. are struggling with their mental health. Every one of the thousands of teens who downloads Somethings is struggling. Our job is to make sure they don’t just show up — they stay, connect with real humans who care deeply about them, and get the support that they need to thrive.
We’re backed by General Catalyst, Catalio and world-class healthcare + consumer investors, and we’re growing like crazy — in 2025 we grew 1100%, raised our $19.2M Series A, and are on track to 5x in 2026.
If you want to be a part of the generationally defining company in mental health, welcome home.
Role Overview
We're looking for a VP, Sales who will play a foundational role in expanding Somethings' reach within Medicaid Payors and States by building trusted partnerships to bring meaningful mental health support to teens and young adults, at scale.

What You’ll Do
The VP, Sales is responsible for driving Somethings' growth across Medicaid health plans, owning the end to end sales strategy. This leader will build and convert a strong pipeline, navigate complex buying processes, and close deals that align revenue growth with meaningful youth impact and outcomes.
You won't just sell a product, you take ownership of our GTM strategy that is tied to our 2026 company goals.
1. Strategic Market & Partner Engagement
Design and execute a Medicaid focused sales strategy that positions Somethings as a trusted, long-term partner for health plans.
Engage senior decision makers across Medicaid plans to align Somethings with population health, behavioral health, and youth serving priorities.
Lead consultative sales conversations that help prospects clearly understand the value, differentiation, and outcomes of certified peer support.
2. Pipeline Development & Deal Execution
Own the sales lifecycle, from prospecting and relationship building through potential RFP response, procurement navigation, contracting, and closing.
Build and maintain a high-quality pipeline across Medicaid health plans, balancing near term opportunities with longer life cycle deals.
Develop repeatable playbooks custom to Medicaid timelines, stakeholders, and approval processes.
3. Revenue Growth
Build credibility and trust by understanding regulatory environments, challenges, and goals.

Who you are
8-10+ years of sales or revenue experience in digital health, behavioral health, Medicaid health plans, or healthcare technology.
Proven track record closing complex, multi-stakeholder Medicaid deals — including RFPs and navigating procurement, legal, and clinical sign-off.
Experience selling vendor contracts directly to Medicaid MCOs. Provider-side or network arrangement experience alone is not a fit for this role.
Has closed deals of $1M+ with health plans and knows what it takes to get to yes across a buying committee.
Deep enough understanding of the Medicaid regulatory environment to hold a credible conversation with a VP of Behavioral Health or Medical Director.
Has operated as a hands-on individual contributor — not just managed a team at a larger org. You're comfortable carrying a bag and building pipeline yourself.
A consultative seller who builds credibility, navigates difficult conversations, and earns trust with senior executives.
Relationship driven with the ability to influence and align decision makers across the health plan.
Strong forecasting skills, comfortable using pipeline data, deal metrics, and outcomes data to inform strategy.
Thrives in a fast paced, mission driven startup environment.
Motivated by improving youth mental health and expanding access to care through an innovative, peer-based model.
