What we’re looking for in our Medical Director

You are a mission-driven physician leader who thrives at the intersection of clinical excellence, collaboration and innovation. You are energized by meaningful work with global impact, bring proven experience in international healthcare delivery and are ready to shape the future of high-quality connected care for our members around the world.

You enjoy solving complex problems, leading with humility and building strong relationships across diverse teams and cultures. Teamwork comes naturally to you, and you value a wide range of perspectives. You also understand that healthcare and patient needs are constantly evolving, and embracing technology to meet those needs isn’t just exciting, it’s part of your DNA.

Lead & Collaborate

• Direct physician-led case management teams across all lines of business to achieve organizational goals.
• Participate in daily clinical operations, including case reviews, medical necessity and coverage decisions and expedited and standard appeal reviews, while collaborating closely with nurses and clinical staff.
• Partner with Senior Medical Director and Medical Directors to provide coverage or project support when needed.
• Represent our international clinical team in senior-level corporate projects and initiatives.
• Participate in provider network development, provider relationship management, new market expansion and evaluation of provider performance.
• Serve as a trusted advisor to internal teams—including Medical Review Team, Contracting, Finance, Claims, the Global Service Center, and Special Investigations (FWA).
