Job Summary:

We are looking for a hands-on Manager, Patient Engagement & Workforce Operations to establish and lead an onsite patient outreach operation in Manila. You will manage patient engagement, workforce planning, service delivery, hiring, and an AI-enabled service model while coaching the team, handling outreach calls, and translating U.S. healthcare strategy into effective Philippine operations.

Responsibilities

• Establish and manage the client’s Philippine patient outreach operation, covering ramp-up, workforce planning, performance, service delivery, and steady-state operations.
• Lead the onsite team of supervisors, team leaders, and agents while coaching employees according to the client’s quality, clinical, and patient-experience standards.
• Handle patient outreach and engagement calls alongside the team, model effective call practices, and maintain a patient-first approach.
• Build call-handling processes and outreach cadences that keep chronic-care patients engaged and supported between clinical visits.
• Analyze reach, activation, satisfaction, and patient-outcome data to improve engagement strategies and team performance.
• Own operational performance across service level, quality, attrition, ramp velocity, and unit economics.
• Conduct weekly QA calibration with the Director, Patient Engagement, and ensure consistent application of performance and patient-experience standards.
• Lead root-cause analysis and corrective-action planning for missed SLAs, operational risks, and performance gaps.
• Track results against the original business case, report variances, and develop appropriate recovery plans.
• Forecast contact volume and build staffing and capacity plans that maintain service levels as demand changes.
• Manage scheduling, adherence, shrinkage, occupancy, intraday performance, and real-time queue activity.
• Reforecast staffing requirements based on volume and performance changes, connecting headcount plans to demand, capacity, cost, and the business case.
• Partner with Human Resources and Finance on workforce capacity, operating costs, Philippine labor compliance, and employment terms.
• Partner with local recruiters and the client’s interview team to maintain a consistent hiring standard as operations scale.
• Drive adoption of the client’s AI platform and help the operation maximize available tools without establishing separate or competing systems.
• Collaborate with Product and Engineering on AI integration, tracking deflection, escalation, and quality impact and supporting quarterly improvements.
• Maintain frequent check-ins with the Director during the initial ramp, transitioning to an appropriate steady-state operating cadence.
• Develop local leaders in the client’s standards, voice, operational expectations, and patient-first approach.
• Translate operational insights into scalable improvements to systems, processes, and workflows.
• Serve as the onsite contact for the client’s Philippine functions, coordinating local facilities, culture, partner relationships, and day-to-day operational needs.
• Support additional functions launching in the Philippines while collaborating with the U.S.-based leaders who manage those teams.
