As a Population Health Strategy & Operations Senior Manager, you will focus on the operational effectiveness of our Population Health programs.

Operational Deep Dives: Conduct deep dives into team operations—including shadowing our navigation, and CCM teams—to determine where bottlenecks exist and develop tests to resolve these issues. Become the business expert on how those teams operate and where their challenges are

Uplevel Team with AI: Identify opportunities to make the team more efficient and effective through the use of AI productivity tools and automation
Product Partnership: Be the voice of operations for the Population Health team in meetings with our EPDD partners. Work especially closely with our product partners to develop the right new product features that will work with how our teams need to operate in order to drive outcomes (and margin)
