• Health Home Integration: Oversee the Health Home program, drive program growth, and foster integration between Health Home and Care Transitions workflows.
• Partner & Business Development: Strengthen relationships with hospital systems and health plans; lead partner meetings, prepare case studies/presentations, and support business development efforts.

• Language Skills: Bilingual English/Spanish required (ability to read, write, speak, and understand both languages).
• Leadership Experience: Minimum of 3 years of managerial and leadership experience with a proven track record of staff training and skill transfer.
• Technical & Process Skills: Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Office and Google Workspace; experience with Electronic Health Records (EHRs). Experience with process improvement, workflow automation, Python, AI tools, or data analysis techniques is highly desirable.
• Sector Expertise: Background in hospital discharge planning or healthcare settings preferred.
• Travel & Physical Requirements: Ability to travel to clients' homes via mass transit and negotiate steps/physical barriers in residences.
• Core Values: Professional maturity, innovative problem-solving skills, and a deep appreciation for how race, religion, ethnicity, and sexual orientation impact client care.

Benefits at a Glance

• Health & Wellness: Medical, dental, and vision coverage, plus Employee Wellness Programs and an EAP.
