• Act as the clinical liaison between payer requirements and internal operational leaders.
• Partner closely with Operations, Quality, Compliance, and Analytics to ensure program success.
• Participate in internal leadership discussions to improve processes, identify trends, and enhance program outcomes.

• Oversee quality and compliance initiatives for Medi‑Cal, Medicare Advantage, and dual‑eligible programs.
• Use performance data to guide decision‑making, interventions, and continuous improvement.

• MD with an active, unrestricted California medical license.
• Minimum 5 years of clinical experience in adult internal medicine, cardiology or primary care.
• At least 2 years of leadership or supervisory experience.
• Background working with Medi‑Cal, Medicare Advantage, and dual‑eligible populations.
• Strong understanding of value‑based care, risk arrangements, and quality metrics.
• Proven ability to collaborate with payer partners on clinical and contractual topics.
• Track record of successfully leading and growing provider teams.

• A strategic physician leader who can unite multidisciplinary teams around shared goals.
• Comfortable navigating payer language, performance guarantees, and quality benchmarks.
• Excels in environments where clinical insight and operational strategy intersect.
• Motivated to build scalable systems and develop future physician leaders.
• Passionate about improving outcomes for medically and socially complex populations.
