Job description

Become a part of our caring community

We are looking for a builder and change agent who enjoys creating structure where it does not exist, solving complex business challenges, and turning ideas into measurable results. The ideal candidate is equally comfortable developing strategy, leading large-scale initiatives, influencing senior leaders, and driving day-to-day execution.

Success in this role requires the ability to navigate ambiguity, challenge traditional ways of working, and bring together diverse stakeholders to deliver meaningful outcomes. This individual will play a key role in shaping and evolving the Organic Risk Adjustment program while helping the organization rethink how risk adjustment opportunities are identified, prioritized, and embedded within routine provider workflows.

The role will partner closely with clinical, operational, analytical, and business leaders across the enterprise to improve program performance and build sustainable capabilities that drive long-term impact.

• Develop practical solutions that fit within existing provider and operational workflows.
• Facilitate meetings, maintain alignment, and ensure follow through on commitments and action plans.
