YOUR ROLE

In your role as a Senior Manager of Care Delivery Operations (Workforce Management), you will be primarily responsible for building and refining workforce operations infrastructure, tooling, efficiency, and effectiveness. You will play a crucial role in supporting our fast-growing Care Delivery team.

In order to hit the ground running, we expect you to have demonstrated expertise in workforce management and modeling, including day to day scheduling, forecasting and capacity planning across different iterations of care models to align with company goals and initiatives, optimize for operational goals and accurately predict volume, efficiency gains, and workload. In this role, no task is either too small or too big, and you will excel if you can operate as a swiss army knife both within and beyond workforce management operations. You will report to the Director of Care Delivery Operations and will interface with organizational stakeholders including Finance, Data, and People Operations. You will work remotely with the option to work from our Nashville office. This role will not have direct reports to start, but may evolve to include leadership opportunities as our organization grows.

  • Create and maintain analyses, reports, and SOPs on workforce operations.
  • Monitor, analyze, and report on operational metrics and performance indicators to identify areas for improvement and implement data-driven solutions.

On an ongoing basis, you will:

  • Configure dynamic short-term and long-term forecasting models and demand planning across multiple variations and evolution of care models and channels.
  • Analyze workforce trends, identify inefficiencies, and build the processes and tools to drive improvements.
  • Drive forward recommendations on capacity planning, capacity reporting, outlier detection, resource allocation, and demand management.
  • Contribute to workforce scalability and value by facilitating change management and identifying opportunities and resolving issues to optimize processes.
  • Own the end-to-end management of cross-functional projects, including scoping and financial impact, project plan creation, stakeholder engagement/management, risk mitigation, and timely execution.
  • Design, implement, monitor, and iterate on pilot programs and campaigns in support of our company and team OKRs.
  • Collaborate with operations and leadership teams to understand organizational goals, impacts to staffing needs, and plans to address them.
  • Participate in recruitment and training processes to ensure workforce scalability and optimal schedule management, including use and assessment of potential tools for in-person and remote workforces
  • Support departmental leadership by taking on impactful ad-hoc assignments and projects.
  • Foster a culture of effective communication, prioritization, problem solving, and continuous improvement by encouraging feedback, implementing best practices, and driving innovation across Care Delivery.
