We are seeking individuals who are passionate about helping seniors live meaningful and fulfilling lives, regardless of their health conditions.

The Opportunity:

We're clinicians, operators, product designers, and technologists that are passionate about redesigning the way people receive care. Our focus is to give our patients evidence-based, person-centered care that aligns with their values and what matters to them – in the comfort of their own home.

    • 30% people management - 1:1s, performance feedback, career development, etc.
    • 30% workflow design - refining how we support medication refills, for example
    • 20% team performance & alignment - setting goals, tracking performance, team meetings
    • 10% partner and patient service issue - escalations and change management 
    • 10% strategic planning - working with leadership to plan new business objectives
    • These percentages are intended to give you a better sense of the role - they will shift over time as the business evolves.
  • You, and your team, will be accountable for the following performance metrics:
    • Service Quality Metrics: phone answer rate, ticket closure rate, welcome visit SLA, email response rate, patients overdue for visits, etc.
    • Patient & Partner Satisfaction: we survey our patients after every appointment
    • Chronic Care Management: minutes logged, billable patients, gaps closed, etc.
    • You will create a ‘daily dashboard’ in Google Sheets to spotlight our performance
    • Monitor the dashboard daily to ensure our teams are operating successfully and meeting our high standards for patient care
    • Spearhead quality improvement initiatives to significantly enhance patient outcomes and satisfaction
  • Hire, onboard, and develop our growing nursing and clinical operations team, fostering a culture of continuous learning, engagement, and high performance. You will coach team members using the metrics above, chart audits, call audits and individual/team training sessions.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with Nurse Practitioners, Registered Nurses, Primary Care Coordinators, and Enrollment Directors to optimize workflows for patient care delivery. You will monitor data on workflows, identify opportunities for quality and efficiency improvement, design and implement improvements.
  • Develop and implement clinical strategies, policies, and procedures aligned with regulatory requirements and geriatric care best practices
  • Partner with Clinical Leadership, Product, and Engineering teams to design, implement, and optimize innovative nursing workflows for our mobile model of care
    • You will own the ‘library’ for our clinical workflows
    • This library will be a resource for onboarding new team members and performing refresher training where we need to improve performance
    • Working with your partners, and your team, you’ll build out a roadmap of workflows (e.g. refills, referrals, prior auths, DME orders, etc.) to improve and then redesign roughly one workflow per quarter to ensure we stay current with our evolving practice.
  • Lead quarterly planning and execution of OKRs of the nursing team, with a focus on unit economics and scalable growth
  • Cultivate a strong team culture rooted in curiosity, creativity, iteration, and and a service mindset

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
