OUR  MISSION

Imagine building a better healthcare journey for cancer patients, where individuals and their loved ones feel seen, supported, and heard by their care team – both in and out of the clinic. Where fast access to high-quality care is the norm, not the exception. Where patients have access to a care navigator to guide them through their diagnosis and trusted support all along the way.

At Thyme Care, we share a passion for transforming the cancer care experience – not just for patients but also for their caregivers and loved ones, as well as those delivering and paying for their care. Today, Thyme Care is known predominantly as a cancer care navigation company enabling value-based cancer care; in the next few years, we will become a nationally recognized technology-driven and provider-centric care delivery model, reshaping the landscape of cancer care access, delivery, and experience. Our commitment runs deep—we’re not satisfied with the status quo but determined to redefine it.

To make this happen, we’re building a diverse team of problem solvers and critical thinkers to drive innovation and shape the future of healthcare. If you share our vision and want to be part of something truly meaningful, we want to hear from you. Together, we can revolutionize cancer care and make a difference that lasts a lifetime.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

Join Our Mission-Driven Team as a Medical Director for Oncology

Are you passionate about transforming the future of oncology care? Do you want to play a key role in shaping a novel, patient-centered approach to healthcare? We’re looking for a dedicated Medical Oncologist to become our next Medical Director for Oncology and join our rapidly growing, mission-driven clinical team.

As the Medical Director, you will be at the heart of our dynamic, integrated care model—making a tangible difference for our members and working with partners to innovate care delivery. In this exciting and impactful role, you will have three core responsibilities:

1. Clinical Leadership and Care Coordination:

You will oversee and guide interdisciplinary case conferences, where you’ll lead the creation and management of personalized care plans for our most complex members. You’ll work directly with our Community Health Workers and Oncology Nurse Navigators team to ensure every patient receives the care they need. You’ll also provide expert oversight to the case management team, conduct virtual urgent care visits as needed, and collaborate closely with external oncologists to ensure seamless, high-quality care coordination.

2. Innovative Patient-Centered Outcomes:

You’ll have the opportunity to drive the evolution of our electronic patient-reported outcomes (ePRO) program, ensuring we consistently deliver successful, measurable outcomes for our members. By guiding cross-functional teams, enabling effective training, refining processes, and tracking key performance indicators, you will help elevate our impact and improve care at every step of the patient journey.

3. Strategic Collaboration with External Partners:

You will be pivotal in collaborating with external partners to optimize workflows, streamline care coordination, and continuously improve operational processes. With a strong focus on performance and outcomes, you’ll ensure that our team is prepared to rigorously report on progress and success, participating in high-level meetings such as Board sessions, Quarterly Business Reviews, and Joint Operating Committees.

Why Join Us?

This role offers an incredible opportunity to be part of a forward-thinking, supportive, and highly collaborative team. This role reports to our Senior Medical Director, and you’ll work remotely or in a hybrid setting from our Nashville or New York City offices, with all patient interactions happening virtually via our advanced care platform. You will be instrumental in driving our mission forward, changing lives, and revolutionizing oncology care, one patient at a time.

Within your first three months, you will:

• Complete training and be up to speed on Thyme Care’s systems, tools, technology, partners, and clinical expectations. 
• Be adept at developing evidence-based, member-centered care plans that will guide our Community Health Workers and Oncology Nurse Navigators in effectively prioritizing our member’s needs and goals.
• Be comfortable following policies, procedures, escalation pathways, communication best practices, and documentation standards. 

WHAT LEADS TO SUCCESS

People-first. Thyme Care’s mission and members matter to you deeply.
Experience. You have at least 3 years of clinical experience caring for oncology patients after fellowship training with board certification in medical oncology. You have an unrestricted medical license and a willingness to obtain additional state licenses as needed. It would be exceptional if you have experience with electronic patient-reported outcome (ePRO) implementation, iteration, and reporting. 
Organized. You’re skilled in juggling multiple tasks and working under pressure without sacrificing organization in your communications and documentation.
Effective listener and communicator. You are winsome and articulate, but you always start by listening, and you hear what may not be voiced because you listen so intently to others. You build rapport and excellent working relationships with members and colleagues.
Comfort with ambiguity. Start-ups are fast-paced environments, and you understand that rapid changes to the business, strategy, organization, and priorities are par for the course… and part of the adventure. 
A desire to learn how to use new technologies. We are a technology company focused on interacting with folks during the season when they need it most. Experience with video chatting, Google Suite, Slack, electronic health records, or comfort in using and learning new technology is vital.
Identify priorities and take action. You know how to identify and prioritize a member’s needs and do what it takes to address urgent needs.
