Job Description

About Us

Greenbrook Medical is building the new standard in primary care.

We deliver high-touch, relationship-based care through neighborhood clinics, grounded in a simple belief: every senior deserves the kind of care we would want for our own families. Our model prioritizes time with patients, strong care coordination, and a personalized approach that improves outcomes while lowering total cost of care.

We take full accountability for patient outcomes and overall cost of care, aligning clinical excellence with disciplined execution. That commitment shows up in our results, including a patient Net Promoter Score of 91, compared to 32 for typical healthcare organizations.

Rooted in Tampa Bay and partnered with Tampa General Hospital, we are entering an exciting phase of growth. Backed by strong unit economics, experienced operators, and a proven playbook, we are looking for builders and operators who want to help scale a healthcare platform designed to deliver better care, better coordination, and better outcomes for seniors.

About The Role

The moments immediately before and after a hospitalization are some of the most important moments in a patient's care.

As our Acute Care & Transitions Manager, you'll own the day-to-day coordination of patients moving through acute care settings, from hospital and emergency department admission through SNF stays and successful transition back into the community.

You'll monitor acute care utilization, build strong relationships with hospital and SNF partners, coordinate discharge plans, and ensure patients are connected back to their Greenbrook care team quickly and safely.

This is a highly proactive, time-sensitive role. You'll be the person making sure that when a Greenbrook patient enters the hospital, we know about it, understand what is happening, communicate with the care team, and have a plan for what happens next.

You'll also serve as a clinical resource for urgent patient needs and help Greenbrook prevent unnecessary ED utilization by ensuring patients have appropriate access to care when they need it.

You'll work closely with Greenbrook physicians, Complex Case Managers, center managers, medical assistants, hospitalists, inpatient care managers, skilled nursing facilities, and specialists.

You'll report to our VP, Market Medical Director and work alongside our broader care management team.

Location: Greater Tampa Bay Area (travel between clinics, hospitals, and skilled nursing facilities required)
