The Opportunity
Strive Health is redefining care for people living with kidney disease through a value-based model that combines clinical excellence, operational discipline, and deep partnership with providers and health plans. The Office of the Chief Medical Officer (OCMO) sits at the intersection of clinical strategy, operations, quality, and enterprise execution. We are seeking a high-leverage operator and strategic partner to help the Chief Medical Officer turn clinical vision into coordinated action. This role will create the operating rhythm around the CMO’s highest priorities, bring structure to complex and ambiguous work, and connect leaders across Clinical, Operations, Product, Technology, Analytics, Medical Economics, Quality, and People. This is not a traditional functional-director role. You will lead through influence rather than formal authority, moving fluidly between strategy and execution. You will help the organization make better decisions, move faster on important work, and build scalable systems that support high-quality patient care.
The role reports directly to the Chief Medical Officer, and partners with the leaders across the organization as the need dictates.
What you’ll do
Translate clinical strategy into execution
- Partner with the CMO and clinical leadership to develop, refine, and communicate clinical strategy.
- Translate strategic priorities into clear roadmaps, operating plans, measurable initiatives, and decision points.
- Coordinate work across Clinical Subject Matter Experts, Product, Technology, Analytics, Operations, and other partners.
- Establish and continuously improve the operating cadence that enables the CMO and clinical leadership to focus on the highest-impact decisions.
- Prepare executive-level presentations and action trackers.
- Manage the CMO’s staff meetings, leadership reviews, board preparation, external engagements, and follow-up commitments.
- Work closely with the Clinical Care Organization leaders to advance the goals and move projects to completion.
- Support Quality Leadership in developing and updating Central Quality Management System, including the Quality SharePoint, as the source of truth for clinical policies, procedures, SOPs, clinical pathways, and quality documentation.
What success looks like in the first 6–12 months
- The CMO and clinical leadership have a clear, reliable operating cadence for priority decisions and follow-through.
- Major clinical initiatives have defined owners, milestones, dependencies, decision points, and measures of success.
- Cross-functional partners understand how clinical priorities connect to their roadmaps and operating plans.
Minimum qualifications
- Bachelor’s degree in healthcare administration, business, public health, nursing, clinical science, or a related field; equivalent experience may be considered.
- 8+ years of experience in healthcare operations, clinical program management, clinical strategy, management consulting, or a related field.
- 5+ years of experience in value-based care, kidney care, payer/provider operations, or other complex clinical operating environments.
- Demonstrated experience leading cross-functional initiatives from strategy through execution, with visibility to senior or executive leadership.
- Experience translating complex clinical, operational, financial, analytics, quality, or medical economics information into clear recommendations and executive-ready materials.
- Strong project management, organization, communication, facilitation, and stakeholder-management skills.
- Proven ability to influence without authority, navigate ambiguity, and drive decisions to closure.
- Proficiency with Excel or Google Sheets and experience partnering with Analytics or Business Intelligence teams.
- Ability to travel and work on-site periodically based on business needs.
- Reliable internet connectivity for remote work: minimum speeds of 3.8 Mbps download / 3.0 Mbps upload and latency below 60 ms.
Preferred qualifications
- Direct experience supporting the development and execution of clinical strategy.
