Director of Clinical Strategy

Job Announcement: 

Director of Clinical Strategy 

Amid clinical workforce shortages, rising healthcare costs and ongoing concerns about inequity, IMPaCT unlocks the power of the grassroots community health workforce.

Here at IMPaCT Care, we get out of bed every day to change lives, with the most effective intervention in the world for addressing health inequity. We find, train and enable Community Health Workers: caring people who keep their communities healthy. We have built the largest and most scientifically-proven Community Health Worker platform in the country, used across 20 states by 50 organizations like Kaiser Permanente, the Veterans Affairs Administration and United Way. Across multiple randomized controlled trials IMPaCT has achieved outcomes frequently believed to be out of reach, including $2,500 annual savings per patient, improved mental health and a Net Promoter Score of 94. We’re making waves: on CNN, in WaPo, at the Fed…there is even a new Medicare billing code for Community Health Workers that is modeled after IMPaCT.

We’re changing the game, but also know the importance of enjoying the journey. That’s why we have made sure that IMPaCT Care is the place to be! We provide competitive compensation and equity grants, comprehensive benefits, unlimited PTO and plenty of opportunities for team-building and fun. Plus you get to work from home.

• translate customer vision into clear program designs including workflows, roles, metrics, and benchmarks
• lead a matrixed team across workforce development, tech, and product to deliver CHW infrastructure that meets customer needs 
• use data and quantitative fluency to assess performance, regularly validating quality beneath the surface to identify root causes

What you bring:

• Clinical training (e.g., RN, MD, LCSW, or other allied/behavioral health professionals), or a graduate degree in Health Policy, Healthcare Management, Population Health, or Healthcare Administration
• 7+ years in healthcare operations, practice management, or healthcare consulting
• Deep expertise in Medicare/Medicaid financing, value-based care, and revenue cycle best practices
