Join VillageMD as Vice President, Call Center Operations based Remote with travel

Join the frontlines of today's healthcare transformation

At VillageMD, we're looking for a VP, Call Center Operations to help us transform the way primary care is delivered and how patients are served. As a national leader on the forefront of healthcare, we've partnered with many of today's best primary care physicians. We're equipping them with the latest digital tools. Empowering them with proven strategies and support. Inspiring them with better practices and consistent results.

We're creating care that's more accessible. Effective. Efficient. With solutions that are value-based, physician-driven and patient-centered. To accomplish this, we're looking for individuals who share our sense of excellence, are ready to embrace change, and never settle for the status quo. Individuals who have the confidence to lead but the humility to never stop learning.

Could this be you?

Integral to our team, the VP, Call Center Operations is responsible for the strategic planning and execution of all Call Center operations and the leadership and development of Call Center operations team members. This leader will bring significant experience building and leading call center teams in a high-growth organization. A focus on data, efficiency, effectiveness and best-in-class patient support is critical to success, while also being highly skilled at motivating, developing and leading strong, engaged teams. The VP will establish call center processes that focus on continuous improvement of the patient experience with a tactical emphasis on patient care, quality management, workforce planning, recruiting, coaching and training.

Performance metrics are critical to success, but this leader needs to be adept at managing production while prioritizing exceptional patient experience. You are a servant leader with excellent communication skills, a high tolerance for flexibility and energy for thriving in a high growth environment.
