Director – Health Systems Management

Job Description

A bit about this role:

Devoted Health is seeking a strategic, influential leader with a strong operational track record to serve as Director, Health Systems Management. This role is designed for an operator who can effectively de-escalate issues with our most critical provider partners, build processes that make our escalation response more scalable and effective, and drive cross-functional initiatives that prevent escalations in the first place.

Reporting directly to the Head of Provider Escalations & Education, you will work closely with cross-functional partners to build tooling that helps us diagnose escalation issues quickly and at scale, prepare executive briefings that equip leadership to decide on next steps, and charter initiatives that address the root causes of escalations through improvements to our operational processes and policies.

The best candidate will combine operational excellence, systems thinking, obsession with detail, pace-setting execution, and the ability to create confidence through change. This role is ideal for someone who organizes around metrics and outcomes, runs to hard problems, has a strong track record of achieving results, and thrives in ambiguity while building durable systems that outlast any one leader.

Your Responsibilities and Impact will include:

• Ownership of Devoted’s Health System Escalation function, including escalation response time, quality, and time to resolution

• Leading through significant evolution while creating confidence, momentum, stability, and strong culture through change
• Running the current operation while designing, implementing, and owning the future-state process
• Raising the talent bar across the organization by setting the pace and modeling high standards
• Building and operationalizing AI-enabled and human-in-the-loop workflows that improve quality, and speed of our response resolution
• Establishing clear visibility into units of work, productivity, quality, cost, workforce planning, and performance metrics
• Defining and executing the roadmap for scaling our Health System Escalations function through workflow automation, and self-service

Required skills and experience:

• At least 10 years of leadership experience with a track record of delivering measurable outcomes in complex operational environments
• Outstanding operational rigor with the ability to deploy technology to solve complex business challenges
• Proven experience driving end-to-end initiatives from strategy through execution that materially improve quality, service levels, cost, compliance, or operational efficiency
• Strong systems thinking and product mindset, with experience owning roadmaps, KPIs, and cross-functional execution
• Demonstrated ability to manage through metrics, establish ambitious targets, and drive teams to results with clear accountability
• Exceptional attention to detail and precision, with a reputation for sweating the details and getting the hardest operational last mile right
• Strong people leadership skills, with the ability to lead through managers, distributed teams, and external vendors
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to influence senior leaders and cross-functional partners
• Clear evidence of urgency, resilience, and the ability to move quickly while maintaining high quality standards
• Demonstrated ability to raise the talent bar and serve as a pace setter for teams and peers

Desired skills and experience:

• Experience transforming operations through AI-enabled workflows
