• Experience designing and implementing onboarding, training, and progression pathways for clinical teams.
• Excellent cross-functional collaboration and stakeholder management skills.

It’s a bonus if you have:

• Experience scaling clinical services in a high-growth startup or fast-paced environment.

• Expertise in lean operations, workforce management tools, or health tech systems.
