Director Of Clinical Operations

Director of Clinical Operations

We're looking for a Director of Clinical Operations who can both design and do — someone who thrives in the details of operations, is comfortable executing workflows themselves, and can zoom out to build the model that will scale. You'll be responsible for standing up and running the operational engine that powers our virtual and community-based care model. This includes defining how care is delivered, staffed, documented, and reimbursed — and then ensuring those systems work day-to-day. You'll partner closely with the VP of Care Delivery to test and refine the model as we expand into new patient segments. This is a builder role, not a pure management role. You'll lead a small team (Care Team Lead, Coordinators, RCM Lead) and will also personally own key operational processes until they're ready to scale.

Requirements

• Strong understanding of reimbursement, coding, and operational compliance.
• Experience standing up RCM or care delivery processes from zero to one.
• Deep operational instincts — able to see both the system and the edge cases.
• Excellent communicator who can partner across product, clinical, and finance teams.
