Job description

Job Description

Healthcare providers go into medicine to care for people, but end up losing valuable time each day to admin work and other workplace challenges. Time that could otherwise be spent helping patients. And patients end up suffering as a result. At Commure, we build solutions that simplify providers' lives and keep them connected to their patients so they can focus on doing what matters most: providing care.

Our innovative suite of software and hardware – augmented by advanced LLM AI, RTLS, and healthcare workflow automations – boosts efficiency across every domain of healthcare, freeing up healthcare providers to spend more of their time caring for patients. Our growing suite of technologies include staff duress alerting, asset tracking, patient elopement, revenue cycle management, clinical documentation and intake, provider copilots, patient engagement and communication, home health, remote patient monitoring, and more.

Today, we support over 250,000 clinicians across hundreds of care sites around the country. And we’re only just getting started: Healthcare’s watershed moment for AI-powered transformation is here – so join us in creating the technology to power healthcare!

• Create dashboards and analytics tools to help leaders make data-driven decisions that boost organizational effectiveness.

Policy, Compliance, Training & Process Improvement

• Keep global HR policies updated, ensuring compliance, consistency, and clarity across all regions.
• Continuously assess and refine processes around onboarding, offboarding, data management, and contractor support, focusing on efficiency, scalability, and a positive employee experience.
• Lead training initiatives for People Managers and employees to ensure full understanding of processes, systems, and timelines.
• Oversee compliance-related training and documentation, staying current with labor laws, documentation requirements, and data privacy regulations.

• Strong analytical mindset, using data to guide decisions, build dashboards, and optimize performance.
• Excellent communication and project management skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities in a rapidly evolving environment.
• Proven experience partnering with cross-functional and cross-regional teams.
