Who you are

You are a motivational leader who has run a high-volume, distributed care delivery operation and knows how to hold quality and productivity at the same time. You are responsible for driving attainment of TimeDoc's patient service goals through the direction and oversight of the Care Operations team. You are a relationship builder, a collaborator, and an executor. You are passionate about delivering patient-centric care, and you love to develop leaders. You are comfortable owning a number, defending it with data, and explaining a miss without flinching. You thrive in a dynamic, fast-paced, team-oriented, remote environment and are dedicated to developing a thriving culture.

The role: in a nutshell

Reporting directly to the VP, Operations, the Director of Care Operations owns the day-to-day performance of TimeDoc's front-line care delivery organization across CCM, RPM, BHI, and APCM, delivered through a team of Team Leads and Managers.

This is a scaled operations leadership role in a healthcare setting, and a client-facing one. You will be measured on three things above all others: productivity (work events per productive hour, or WEP/hr), retention of the front-line team, and compliance of care delivery with practice-specific protocol. You will also serve as the face of clinical delivery to existing and prospective clients. You will partner with Clinical Strategy to refine and develop clinical protocols, with Workforce Management to convert demand into schedules and schedules into adherence, and with Technology to make sure the systems and the measurement underneath all of it are trustworthy.

You are joining a team that is both continuing work already underway and standing up what comes next. Several workstreams are already in flight: a new Care Coordinator incentive structure is live, QA gating is being phased in, a workforce management platform is going live, and the SOP library has just been audited end to end. Your job is to finish and operationalize that work and hold the gains. You will also be expected to identify and lead the next round of initiatives as the operation continues to scale, not simply maintain what is already in motion.

Responsibilities

Care team leadership

• •Lead, inspire, and build a high-performing care leadership layer of Managers and Team Leads. Coach the leaders, do not manage around them.
• •Own span of control and leadership bench depth. Ensure every front-line leader is running a consistent one-on-one, coaching, and performance cadence.
• •Serve as hiring manager for Care Operations functions, working with Talent Acquisition to define the target candidate profile, scorecard, and job description.
• •Define performance expectations and the methods for measuring and communicating performance, including OKRs, reporting, performance plans, and separation decisions.
• •Execute the Team Lead Performance Plan and Care Coordinator Performance Plan with consistency across all teams. Variation in how performance management is applied is itself a problem to be fixed.
• •Together with the VP, Operations and the People team, define career paths and compensation for Care Operations staff to provide internal growth and build future leaders.

Client-facing leadership

• •Serve as the face of clinical delivery for TimeDoc, meeting directly with existing clients on program performance, escalations, and delivery quality.
• •Represent Care Operations in prospective client conversations, partnering with Commercial and Sales to speak credibly to how care is delivered, staffed, and measured.
• •Build the operating rhythm for client-facing engagement, including standing business reviews, escalation response, and preparation for renewal and expansion conversations.

Productivity and unit economics

• •Own WEP/hr attainment for the Care Operations organization against plan, at the total, team, program, and client level.
• •Manage tenure mix deliberately. Understand that production Care Coordinators and ramping Care Coordinators perform differently, forecast the blend, and do not let cohort mix be mistaken for performance change.
• •Administer the Care Coordinator incentive plan, including program gates and tier attainment, and monitor for unintended behavior. Escalate any incentive design change that would create a billing or documentation risk.
• •Own program-level productivity for CCM, RPM, BHI, and APCM, recognizing that each has a different work profile, a different gate, and a different economic contribution.
• •Own RPM alert and exception management execution, in
