Leap is one of the fastest-growing benefits solutions and a category-defining pioneer in employer specialty pharmacy. We are reshaping how life-changing therapies are delivered and financed, ensuring patients get the treatment they need while employers finally get a fair deal.
Specialty drugs and infusions represent nearly 10% of all healthcare spend and are the fastest-growing cost category for employers. Leap tackles this challenge with a novel approach: eliminating hidden markups, expanding access to high-quality infusion providers, and bringing clarity and fairness to how therapies are priced and paid for.
We’re proud to partner with numerous Fortune 500 companies and leading TPAs. Each patient we serve creates immediate ROI: lower costs, improved access, and better care. Join us as we redefine what’s possible in specialty care.
About the Role
Leap Health's Clinical Operations function — spanning Intake Operations, Care Operations, and Care Guide — is scaling 3x by year-end, and this role exists to give that growth a strategic engine, not just operational coverage. The Director of Clinical Strategy & Operations owns the company's highest-value cross-functional initiatives end to end: large client launches, condition-specific experimentation, and high-value activation experiments. This person operates as the project lead and charter owner for that work — designing the experiment, defining success metrics and owners, and driving it across Clinical Operations and stakeholders including Client Success, Marketing, Data & Analytics, and Engineering. Where the Strategy & Operations Manager executes and refines the existing playbook, this person builds the next one. Reporting to the Head of Member Operations and Strategy, this role extends that function's ability to take on efforts that no single team owns. Based in New York City. Hybrid, with at least 2 days per week in office, and travel to markets as needed.
Key Responsibilities
Company-Wide Experimentation & Initiative Leadership
Own the charter and execution of Leap's highest-value cross-functional efforts — large client launches, condition-specific experimentation, activation experimentation — acting as the project lead from design through results
Design structured experiments: define hypotheses, success metrics, timelines, and owners before work begins, and turn results into decisions leadership acts on
Drive alignment across Client Success, Marketing, Data & Analytics, and Engineering to keep company-wide initiatives moving, unblocking stalls wherever they show up
Clinical Operations Partnership
Partner closely with the managers of Intake Operations, Care Operations, and Care Guide to make sure initiatives and experiments are executed as designed within their teams
Serve as an informal escalation point when execution isn't tracking, without formal reporting authority over those teams
Build the operating models and playbooks that the Strategy & Operations Manager and team managers run day to day
Strategic Partnership to Leadership
Act as a thought partner to the Head of Member Operations and Strategy on the direction of Clinical Operations
Take ambiguous, company-wide problems and turn them into structured plans with clear owners, metrics, and timelines
