Head of B2B Partnerships

Fitt Talent Partners is a specialized recruitment firm working with top health and wellness companies.

We’re filling this role for a client advancing the future of personalized health through clinical-grade microbiome testing—helping individuals and practitioners uncover root causes and take a more proactive, data-driven approach to gut and vaginal health.

About the Company

We’re a fast-growing precision health company transforming how people understand and improve their health through advanced microbiome science.

Founded by scientists and physicians, the platform uses clinical-grade testing and genomic technology to deliver personalized, actionable insights for both consumers and practitioners—making preventive, data-driven care more accessible.

The Opportunity

We’re looking for a high-energy, highly organized, and growth-minded Partnerships leader to help scale the company’s B2B partnerships engine.

This role will work closely with the CEO to generate and qualify leads, support and run deal cycles, close new partnership revenue, and build scalable systems across the partnerships function.

Prior experience in microbiome science isn’t required, but curiosity and comfort operating in a science-forward, data-driven environment is important.
