Senior Manager, Clinical Operations & Strategy

About the role

As an AI-native company, we are seeking a Senior Manager, Clinical Operations & Strategy to lead a prioritized portfolio of initiatives that materially improve gross margin and delivery margin. This is a build-and-run role responsible for translating strategy into measurable outcomes and building the operating mechanisms to sustain them.

Responsibilities

• Lead a prioritized portfolio of initiatives that materially improve gross margin and delivery margin
• Drive “top of license” and care model optimization workstreams - shifting the right work to the right teams, clarifying scope and standards, and enabling changes through process, tooling, and adoption
• Identify and execute operational levers that enhance leader span of control and reduce friction, while maintaining (or improving) quality and member experience
• Partner closely with Finance and BI to ensure savings/impact are real, attributable, and tracked over time
• Create the operating cadence for Clinical Operations strategic priorities: weekly execution forums, KPI reviews, decision logs, dependency tracking, and escalation pathways
• Implement incident management + problem management to reduce repeat issues, shorten time-to-resolution, and improve reliability
• Develop “program health” mechanisms (dashboards, leading indicators, adoption measures) so leaders can manage proactively, not reactively
• Translate ambiguous goals into crisp problem statements, hypotheses, success metrics, and execution plans
• Drive cross-functional alignment with Product and Clinical Operations partners: requirements, milestones, change management, rollout plans, and feedback loops
• Anticipate risks early and unblock relentlessly - surfacing tradeoffs and pushing decisions to closure
• Define and core, impactful KPIs that matter (leading + lagging), build clear baselines, and set targets
• Build and socialize executive-ready narratives that communicate progress, risks, decisions needed, and expected impact
• Coach partners on operational rigor: how work gets measured, managed, and improved

Requirements

This is a primarily remote role. Occasional travel may be required for company or team events.

Qualifications

• 4-6+ years of experience in management consulting, BizOps, and/or Strategy & Operations within high-growth tech or startups (or equivalent), with a proven track record of shipping cross-functional programs into real operations
• Strong “operator” DNA: you can design the plan and make it real - process, tooling, adoption, measurement, and accountability
• Demonstrated ownership of outcome metrics (margin, cost, productivity, throughput, reliability), including partnering with Finance/Analytics to validate impact
• Excellent program leadership: you bring structure, prioritize well, run great forums, and close decisions quickly
• Systems thinking: you build mechanisms that scale - cadences, dashboards, incident/problem management, and clear ownership models
• Exceptional communication: concise, executive-ready updates; clear decision framing; strong stakeholder management across senior partners
• Comfort with ambiguity, high standards, and fast-moving environments

Skills

• Experience in clinical operations, care delivery, workforce operations, support operations, or other complex, high-volume service environments is preferred.
