Reporting to the Director of Clinical Operations & Strategy, the Senior Manager, Clinical Operations & Strategy is a high-impact operator responsible for designing and delivering a portfolio of margin- and performance-improving programs across Clinical Operations. Reporting into Clinical Operations leadership, you will work day-to-day with Clinical leaders, Business Intelligence and Analytics, Finance, and Product to translate strategy into measurable outcomes—then build the operating mechanisms to sustain them. This is a build-and-run role. You'll diagnose problems, design solutions, align stakeholders, execute with rigor, and harden improvements into scalable systems (cadences, tooling, reporting, and accountability).

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

What you'll do:

• 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

What success looks like in this role:

• Build the operating system: Establish a clear execution cadence (forums, KPI reviews, decision/RAID logs, dependency tracking, escalation paths) so priorities are aligned, progress is visible, and leaders can manage proactively
• Deliver measurable margin impact: Own and ship a portfolio initiatives with finance-aligned baselines, targets, and tracking - driving durable workflow/tooling changes that stick (not one-time fixes)
• Scale reliability and leader leverage: Implement incident + problem management and "program health" mechanisms to reduce fire drills, shorten time-to-resolution, improve adoption, and increase leader span of control through better systems and reporting
• Make execution predictable: Turn ambiguous, cross-functional work into shipped outcomes with crisp problem definitions, tight stakeholder alignment, fast decision-making, and sustained performance improvements across Clinical Operations

What you'll bring:

• 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
• Experience in clinical operations, care delivery, workforce operations, support operations, or other complex, high-volume service environments is preferred.
• Experience partnering closely with Product/Engineering to deliver operational tooling and workflow automation is preferred.
• Familiarity with change management and rollout design (comms, training, feedback loops, measurement) is preferred.
