General Manager, Population Health

About the company

At Covera, we're committed to ensuring high-quality healthcare is more than just a promise. That's why we're leading the way in the emerging science of quality, and connecting providers and payers in their shared quest to improve patient outcomes and care quality. By tackling this challenge, we have the ability to impact millions of lives by raising the standard of care nationwide.

Our initial focus is radiology, where an early and accurate diagnosis has a profound impact on the rest of a patient's care journey. Through our work, which uses clinically-validated science-based tools, we're helping doctors enhance their care, ensuring patients get the right diagnosis, and enabling the healthcare system to support quality improvement at scale.

Through our clinical intelligence platform, we have launched programs that help people access the most effective care and provide doctors with AI-powered quality insights and tools to enhance their care. Today, Covera is partnered with leading employers, payers and healthcare organizations across the US, including Walmart and Microsoft. And, with a pipeline representing over 25% of insured Americans, we are in the early stages of improving care quality for all patients across the globe.

In this role, you will be expected to:

• Partner with the CEO and Executive Leadership Team to evaluate and refine the population health management (PHM) strategy, set priorities and execute against short and long-term objectives for the program

• Assess medium to long-term resourcing needs for a successful PHM program and work with CFO and Executive Leadership Team on resource planning 
• Act as a thought partner to the CEO and Executive Leadership Team on non-PHM programs as it relates to strategic decisions and tradeoffs that could impact PHM
