PlacervilleRemoteFull-time

AI Summary

Manages relationships with medical practices, coaches providers on value-based care contracts, and uses data analytics to drive financial and quality performance improvements.

About this role

Healthcare is changing, and local medical practices are caught in the middle. They are trying to shift from a system that rewards the volume of procedures to one that rewards the quality of patient care—but navigating that shift is incredibly tough. That’s where you come in.

As our Account Manager, you will be the ultimate strategic partner, business coach, and advocate for the medical practices in your portfolio. You are the day-to-day anchor of these relationships, responsible for diving into the data, identifying performance gaps, and working hand-in-hand with doctors and healthcare executives. By helping them master Value-Based Care (VBC) contracts, you directly drive financial success (shared savings) and, most importantly, measurably better health outcomes for the community.

Note on Travel: On-site check-ins are key to this role. You can expect to travel in-person approximately 1x per month per account for 2–3 days (supporting accounts in Northern California and the Seattle, Washington area). Exact schedules flex based on client needs, meaning some months may feel lighter or heavier than others.
