About the Role

The Senior Director, Clinical Operations owns the performance, scalability, and operational direction of TailorCare's clinical operations, spanning both the Clinical Navigation team and the business operations that keep it running and connected across the care journey. This is a senior leadership role for a strong operator: someone with advanced business acumen who can build and run an operations function at scale, set and own the team's OKRs, and drive it toward measurable targets.

This leader owns the contact center operations for their team, including staffing, forecasting, scheduling, queue and service-level management, and escalation, and partners closely with the Central Operations and Performance Excellence teams on the shared infrastructure and standards behind it. Beyond running the day-to-day operation, the role owns the business operations that keep the team performing and shape how it connects with other teams across the care journey.

This leader brings strong business and operational acumen and sets the strategic direction for their own team, while partnering closely with the Sr. Director, Performance & Strategy and the Director, Clinical Digital Solutions on broader clinical strategy and digital innovation. The role also reaches across functions outside Clinical Operations to keep the patient journey continuous from end to end. The ideal candidate is a proven operator who can build and scale, and candidates who bring both operational depth and clinical fluency are especially welcome.

Primary Responsibilities

Operational Strategy & OKR Ownership (20%)

• Set, own, and cascade the OKRs for the team; translate functional strategy into operating plans and drive the team to hit measurable targets.

• Own the strategy and operational direction for the Clinical Navigation operation, including the business operations that support it and its connections across the care journey, with direct accountability for the success or failure of its business objectives.

• Set the strategic vision and direction for the team, and shape the longer-term operating model as TailorCare scales, influencing senior leadership on where the function needs to go.

• Hold budget accountability for the function and make resourcing and prioritization decisions with a high degree of autonomy.

• Drive cross-functional collaboration between Digital Solutions and Clinical Strategy to innovate, validate, and operationalize new clinical models — ensuring strong clinical outcomes and informing the discovery and scope of future digital solutions.

Contact Center Operations (25%)

• Own end-to-end operational performance of the team's contact center: staffing models, forecasting, capacity planning, scheduling, and real-time queue management.

• Set and monitor service-level standards (speed to answer, average handle time, abandonment rate, outreach productivity) alongside clinical quality standards, ensuring neither is sacrificed for the other.

• Build and maintain escalation pathways for complex clinical or operational issues, with clear ownership and timely resolution.

• Partner with the Central Operations and Performance Excellence teams on the shared backbone the contact center runs on, including the workforce management platform and contact-center tooling, quality, and audits, consuming that infrastructure rather than standing up a duplicate of it.

Business Operations & Care Journey Integration (20%)

• Own the business operations that keep the team performing: operating rhythm, capacity and workforce planning, SOP execution, and readiness for new market and payer launches.

• Own how the operation connects with other teams across the care journey, ensuring smooth handoffs and a continuous experience for the patient.

• Own the team's technology stack in partnership with IT/Product and the Director, Clinical Digital Solutions, including dialer/CRM, telehealth platforms, and documentation systems, and pilot and scale AI-enabled tools and digital workflows within the operation.

• Ensure compliance with clinical protocols, documentation standards, and regulatory requirements across all operational touchpoints,…
