Your Opportunity
The Sr. Manager, Clinical Innovation advances that mission directly: this high-impact position will own launching and managing new clinical programs that enhance patient outcomes, improve care coordination, and meet financial performance targets. You will drive a small portfolio of concurrent programs from concept to launch.
As “Founder & CEO” of these programs, you will own concept and business case development, buy-vs-build determination, execution model design and implementation, and management through transition to scaled operations. You will work in close partnership with the Clinical Services and Performance, Product & Engineering, Market Leadership, Analytics, Legal, and Finance teams. This is a role where creativity and initiative are valued and rewarded. You will be held accountable to program KPIs and targets, with the understanding that setbacks and pivots are part of innovation.
The Sr. Manager, Clinical Innovation will report to the VP of Clinical Innovation and sit within the VBC business unit, which is responsible for P&L performance of all VBC activities at Vytalize.
The ideal candidate is a “strategic operator” capable of switching between 30K feet and day-to-day task management, and thrives in unstructured, ambiguous, and rapidly changing environments. This requires strong business acumen, exceptional problem-solving skills, a strong work ethic, a high degree of intellectual horsepower, and a passion for improving healthcare delivery through innovation, technology, and operational excellence. You reason from first principles and learn unfamiliar domains quickly. You see programs as systems — interacting clinical, financial, operational, and technology levers rather than isolated workstreams. As Vytalize’s programs increasingly blend with technology products, this role requires comfort operating at the intersection of clinical operations and product development. The ability to rapidly ascend the AI learning curve is table stakes.
