What You’ll Do

Market Leadership:

• You will launch Daymark’s market in Michigan alongside the VP of Market Operations and COO. Together, you’ll set market-level KPIs across clinical outcomes, quality, enrollment, and patient experience and hold the team accountable to them.The Michigan Market VP owns the market P&L, however, you’ll share accountability for how the clinical model drives financial performance, including total-cost-of-care savings and fewer avoidable acute-care visits.

• You will be the clinical point of escalation for the care team. When a patient's needs become complex or high-acuity, you guide the team through clinical decisions, manage that complexity, and coordinate with the patient's treating oncologist and other partners. Your clinical work is team-based and led from the Hub. This role does not include in-home visits. You will also take part in remote on-call escalation coverage as needed.

You have at least 5 years of oncology practice, including direct patient care, and experience leading or supervising clinical teams. You are comfortable being accountable for the clinical performance of a market or practice.

You are familiar with oncology value-based payment models such as the Oncology Care Model (OCM) and the Enhancing Oncology Model (EOM).

• You know how to partner effectively with an operational counterpart, sharing accountability for outcomes while respecting the distinct clinical and operational lenses each of you brings.
