• Monitor provider-level quality data (e.g., utilization, patient outcomes, complaints) and drive action on outliers, in partnership with Clinical leadership

• Support quality-based remediation and, when necessary, contract termination decisions in line with Pomelo's clinical and compliance standards

• Serve as the connective tissue across Licensing, Credentialing, Quality, Clinical Ops, and Product teams whose work supports the clinical network 

• Build the reporting and dashboards to provide a clear view of network health

• Represent the provider network in company-wide planning, and flag risks (e.g., capacity gaps, quality issues) before they become urgent

• 3 years of work experience, with 1+ years in provider network management, provider success/experience, or network operations at a telehealth company

• Demonstrated ownership over key network metrics, including growth, retention, utilization, and quality

• Enjoys building net new processes in addition to optimizing existing ones

• Strong cross-functional communicator, able to work fluidly with Clinical, Product, Compliance, and Commercial teams and translate between them

• Strong analytical skills, track record of using data to tell a story & prioritize investments

• Comfortable with ambiguity and early-stage pace

• Nice to have: experience specifically in women's health or a clinician network involving multiple license types (MDs, NPs, RDs, etc.)
