PrimaryMD · New York, NY · 1 mo ago
On-siteHealthcare$110k–$150k/yrFull-time
Job Summary
You'll work side by side with our Chief Scientific Officer in our Hudson Yards office, owning the clinical operations that turn a great visit into a seamless care experience: referrals, prior authorizations, imaging coordination, pharmacy navigation, and the hundred edge cases that come up in between. You'll also lead our care coordination team, bringing structure, accountability, and calm to a high-touch practice.
Responsibilities
- Execute and own the clinical follow-through from every visit: specialist referrals, prior authorizations, pharmacy issues, lab and imaging orders, and patient follow-ups.
- Unstick issues when they arise in the healthcare system, particularly in New York.
- Establish the operational infrastructure of a new market: register physicians across hospital and imaging portals, build relationships with specialist offices and imaging centers, and create the referral network our members deserve.
- Manage the care coordination team, setting priorities, resolving escalations, auditing workflows, and developing the team.
- Navigate NYC healthcare systems, prioritizing urgency, routing complexity, and anticipating problems before they occur.
- Document workflows and SOPs as you build them, evolving your role up to broader clinical operations leadership across the practice.
Requirements
- RN required at minimum; NP or PA welcome.
- 5+ years of clinical experience, ideally including ER, urgent care, or high-acuity outpatient settings where independent problem-solving was the norm.
- Hands-on experience with referrals, prior authorizations, imaging coordination, and pharmacy navigation.
- Prior charge, supervisory, or assistant-director experience — you've managed people and chaos before.
- Deep working knowledge of New York City's healthcare landscape — hospital systems (Mount Sinai, Lenox Hill / Northwell, NewYork-Presbyterian / Weill Cornell), imaging centers, and specialist networks.
- Fluency in navigating the healthcare system in this city, knowing who to call when the front door is closed.
- Relentlessly organized and a finisher — nothing falls through the cracks on your watch.
- Independent navigator: ambiguity is a starting point, not a stop sign.
- A true team player who leads with warmth and holds a high bar — for yourself and your team.
- Service mindset suited to a concierge membership practice: poised, discreet, personal.
- Comfortable with technology (EMR, messaging platforms, AI-enabled tools).
Qualifications
- Active New York license in good standing.
Benefits
- Competitive package: $110,000–$150,000 base, and the fulfillment of seeing your work show up in members' lives every single day.
Pay
- $110,000–$150,000, commensurate with credential and experience.
Schedule
- Full-time, in person at Hudson Yards, Monday–Friday.
- Occasional (rare) travel to our San Francisco practice for training and alignment.
