  • Document and communicate results, insights and scalability recommendations

  • Identify and mitigate risks that could impact pilot success

Stakeholder & Partner Collaboration

  • Build trusted relationships with internal teams across legal, compliance, and field operations to ensure alignment

  • Help design and operationalize new patient engagement strategies with community-based organizations, where applicable

Experience & Qualifications:

  • 4+ years of professional experience, ideally in healthcare strategy consulting, managed care, or operations

  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience required

  • Experience working in or with Medicare Advantage, value-based care or health plans strongly preferred

  • Strategic thinker with a bias for execution

  • Strong communication skills—able to synthesize and present information clearly to various audiences

  • Strong attention to detail, time management and ownership mindset

  • Travel requirement up to 25% and potential to directly supervisor others

You’ll succeed in this role if:

  • You’re passionate about improving healthcare access and outcomes for vulnerable populations

  • You’re energized by ambiguity and enjoy creating structure from scratch
