Manages strategic relationships with medical practices and healthcare executives to improve value-based care performance. The role analyzes financial, quality, clinical, and population health metrics; identifies performance gaps; develops project plans; coaches physicians and staff; supports HEDIS and STARs initiatives; and prepares executive presentations on practice performance, financial outcomes, and contract goals. Requires regular regional travel to accounts in Utah and Montana.
Healthcare is changing, and local medical practices are caught in the middle. They are trying to shift from a system that rewards the volume of procedures to one that rewards the quality of patient care—but navigating that shift is incredibly tough. That’s where you come in.
As our Account Manager, you will be the ultimate strategic partner, business coach, and advocate for the medical practices in your portfolio. You are the day-to-day anchor of these relationships, responsible for diving into the data, identifying performance gaps, and working hand-in-hand with doctors and healthcare executives. By helping them master Value-Based Care (VBC) contracts, you directly drive financial success (shared savings) and, most importantly, measurably better health outcomes for the community.
Note on Travel: On-site check-ins are key to this role. You can expect to travel in person approximately once per month to each account for 1-3 days, often as day trips (supporting accounts in Montana and Utah). Exact schedules flex based on client needs, so some months may feel lighter or heavier than others.
Location Requirement: This is primarily a remote role, but candidates must live within a reasonable driving distance or have easy regional flight access to accommodate these monthly multi-day on-site account visits.

- Coordinate with internal and external stakeholders to develop recurring executive-facing presentations and memos as needed.
- This may include data regarding practice performance, financial outcomes/projections, and contract terms at the practice and ACO level to external executives.
- Advise central leadership by proactively surfacing root causes of issues affecting practice performance.
- Adapt to evolving organizational needs and priorities by taking on additional duties as necessary.
