About the role

Who We Are
Icon Health is a leading provider of value-based musculoskeletal (MSK) care, collaborating with payers and providers to enhance outcomes and experience for individuals. The company partners with health plans and risk-bearing providers to assume accountability for reduced total cost of care. By combining technology-enabled MSK providers with proactive care coordination and decision support services, Icon Health delivers multidisciplinary, evidence-based care.
We founded Icon Health on the conviction that every patient should be genuinely delighted with their care experience. By prioritizing patient-centered practices, ensuring clear care goals across the entire clinical team, and placing clinicians at the heart of care delivery, we aim to transform a fragmented system into one that truly serves patients. Our model uses a team-based approach to care, integrating musculoskeletal expertise and primary care to achieve better patient outcomes.
At Icon Health, we foster a culture that embraces bold thinking, rapid iteration, and practical problem-solving. We seek team members who relish challenging the status quo and thrive in vertically integrated roles—where ideas can swiftly move from concept to execution without layers of red tape. Above all, we value individuals who are eager to roll up their sleeves, tackle obstacles head-on, and create innovative solutions that improve the lives of our patients and our clinical partners.
About the Role:
The Strategic Operations Manager makes our care delivery and care coordination workflows better, faster, and more scalable. You'll work closely with clinical operations leads to find friction, redesign processes, and document them, then translate those improvements into clear requirements for our data and engineering teams to automate, measure, and build on.

What You'll Do:
Workflow design and improvement

Map current operational workflows, including referral intake, outreach, scheduling, care coordination, and partner handoffs, and find bottlenecks and inconsistencies

Design, test, and iterate on improved processes with clinical operations leads and front-line teams

Create and maintain process documentation, SOPs, and playbooks so new workflows are adopted consistently across markets

Define operational KPIs and service standards, and track performance to guide ongoing improvements

Translating operations into data and engineering requirements

Turn validated workflow changes into clear, prioritized requirements for data and engineering, including what to automate, what to measure, and what to build

Partner with the product and data teams to make sure operational needs are reflected on the roadmap and in reporting

Support rollouts of new tools and workflow changes, including training, feedback loops, and post-launch iteration

Do ad hoc analysis to size operational problems and evaluate whether changes worked

What You'll Bring:

3+ years in operations, process improvement, strategy and operations, or consulting, ideally in healthcare delivery or a high-growth company

Experience mapping and redesigning complex, multi-stakeholder workflows

Strong analytical skills (Excel or Sheets required; SQL or BI tools a plus)

Ability to write clear requirements and work well with technical teams

Organized and detail-oriented, with practical judgment about what will actually work on the front lines

Nice to Have:

Experience in care coordination, referral management, or clinical operations

Familiarity with EHR workflows and payer or provider operations

Lean Six Sigma, or similar process improvement experience
