About the company
At Covera, we’re committed to ensuring high-quality healthcare is more than just a promise. That’s why we’re leading the way in the emerging science of quality, and connecting providers and payers in their shared quest to improve patient outcomes and care quality. By tackling this challenge, we have the ability to impact millions of lives by raising the standard of care nationwide.
Our initial focus is radiology, where an early and accurate diagnosis has a profound impact on the rest of a patient’s care journey. Through our work, which uses clinically-validated science-based tools, we’re helping doctors enhance their care, ensuring patients get the right diagnosis, and enabling the healthcare system to support quality improvement at scale.
Through our clinical intelligence platform, we have launched programs that help people access the most effective care and provide doctors with AI-powered quality insights and tools to enhance their care. Today, Covera is partnered with leading employers, payers and healthcare organizations across the US, including Walmart and Microsoft. And, with a pipeline representing over 25% of insured Americans, we are in the early stages of improving care quality for all patients across the globe.
About the role
As the General Manager of Population Health, you will work directly with the CEO and Executive Leadership team to lead the launch and scale of a new high-priority initiative. Covera’s Radiology population health management program represents a first of its kind approach that leverages cutting-edge AI technology to surface critical insights which improve patient care and quality. The program has already garnered significant interest from leading payors and providers across the country, with pilot planning in motion. This is a highly visible, cross-functional role with a broad mandate to plan and execute against this opportunity. This is a unique role sitting at the intersection of Covera’s payor and employer customers, radiology network partners and at-risk primary care groups to build a sophisticated, impactful population health model.
In this role, you will be expected to:
- Partner with the CEO and Executive Leadership Team to evaluate and refine the population health management (PHM) strategy, set priorities and execute against short and long-term objectives for the program
- Work directly with Covera’s payor and employer customers to align objectives and then operationalize PHM with these partners
- Serve as the primary point person for radiology and primary care provider partners in market as Covera launches the PHM program
- Lead the team that successfully executes PHM pilot programs and transitions to scaled deployments with provider partners
- Working closely with the sales and BD team, serve as a thought leader and expert on Covera’s PHM program for prospective BD / sales conversations
- Work deeply with a cross-functional internal team to plan and execute on PHM priorities across product, tech, AI and analytics / reporting, readying the organization for scale
- Establish KPIs for PHM program success both internally and externally and work closely with the analytics team to measure and track on-going performance
- Assess medium to long-term resourcing needs for a successful PHM program and work with CFO and Executive Leadership Team on resource planning
- Act as a thought partner to the CEO and Executive Leadership Team on non-PHM programs as it relates to strategic decisions and tradeoffs that could impact PHM

Requirements:
- 10+ years healthcare experience, with some combination of healthtech start-up, consulting and / or enterprise healthcare (payor, provider) background
- Proven track record working collaboratively with payors, providers or both on high priority, high visibility initiatives (Medicare Advantage experience a plus)
- Deep understanding of value-based care and risk sharing arrangements between payor and provider
- Demonstrated ability to influence and drive change across teams at all levels of an organization, aligning resources and work efforts with business goals
