With a recent valuation of $3 billion, we are in a phase of hyper growth and expansion, and we’re looking for individuals with passion, commitment, and energy to help us scale our global impact.

- Introduce and implement enablement tools (dashboards, feedback systems, performance trackers) that help the ClinOps leadership team quickly spot individual coaching needs, performance risks, and high-impact improvement opportunities.
Operational Excellence & Technology-Driven Scaling:
- Support the development and refinement of care delivery processes, tools, and frameworks that support high-quality and efficient service delivery.
- Partner with product, data, and tech teams to co-create and roll out technology and AI-powered solutions that make quality and training processes measurable, repeatable, and scalable.
Cross-Functional Influence:

- Excellent communication, influencing, and stakeholder management skills across clinical and non-clinical functions.
- A strong bias toward action, problem-solving, and continuous improvement in fast-paced, cross-functional environments.
