Manager, Partner Engagement

At DaVita, being the “Partner of Choice” is central to our mission. The Partner Engagement team is at the forefront of this mission, working to deliver an exceptional experience for our provider partners. As the field of nephrology undergoes a profound transformation, our team is responsible for deepening our understanding of provider needs and aligning our clinical, operational, and technological capabilities to ensure DaVita remains the preferred provider partner. The Manager, Partner Engagement, will be a key architect of this transformation.

Serve as a central point of contact for key initiatives, fostering collaboration and securing buy‑in from stakeholders across clinical, operational, and strategic teams.
