Schedule : Full-Time | Fully Remote

Position Overview

We are seeking an experienced and mission-driven physician leader to serve as the Program Medical Director for multidisciplinary care programs supporting complex Medi-Cal, Medicare Advantage, and dual-eligible populations.

This role blends clinical leadership with strategic oversight—ideal for a physician who excels in guiding value-based programs, partnering with health plans, shaping operational alignment, and developing high-performing care teams.

As the organization expands, this position will evolve into an enterprise-level leadership role with broad influence over medical strategy, clinical operations, and regional team development.

Key Responsibilities

Health Plan Collaboration & Strategic Leadership

  • Serve as the lead clinical representative in recurring operational and strategy meetings with payer partners.
  • Collaborate directly with medical directors and quality teams on care model design, performance evaluation, and program refinement.
  • Participate confidently in discussions involving value-based metrics, shared savings, contract provisions, and risk-based performance indicators.
  • Translate regulatory and contractual expectations into clear workflows for internal teams.

Provider Leadership, Coaching & Team Development

  • Provide mentorship and supervision to Nurse Practitioners and interdisciplinary care teams.
  • Foster a culture of accountability, collaboration, and clinical excellence.
  • Guide teams toward measurable performance outcomes and coordinated care delivery.
  • Support hiring, onboarding, and development of additional providers as new programs launch.
  • Transition over time from direct oversight to broader strategic and organizational leadership.

    • Cross-Functional Alignment & Internal Partnership

  • Act as the clinical liaison between payer requirements and internal operational leaders.
  • Partner closely with Operations, Quality, Compliance, and Analytics to ensure program success.
  • Participate in internal leadership discussions to improve processes, identify trends, and enhance program outcomes.

    • Program Optimization & Quality Oversight

  • Oversee quality and compliance initiatives for Medi-Cal, Medicare Advantage, and dual-eligible programs.
  • Use performance data to guide decision-making, interventions, and continuous improvement.
  • Support audit readiness and quality incentive program requirements.

    • Qualifications

  • MD with an active, unrestricted California medical license.
  • Minimum 5 years of clinical experience in adult internal medicine, cardiology or primary care.
  • At least 2 years of leadership or supervisory experience.
  • Background working with Medi-Cal, Medicare Advantage, and dual-eligible populations.
  • Strong understanding of value-based care, risk arrangements, and quality metrics.
  • Proven ability to collaborate with payer partners on clinical and contractual topics.
  • Track record of successfully leading and growing provider teams.

    • Ideal Candidate

  • A strategic physician leader who can unite multidisciplinary teams around shared goals.
  • Comfortable navigating payer language, performance guarantees, and quality benchmarks.
  • Excels in environments where clinical insight and operational strategy intersect.
  • Motivated to build scalable systems and develop future physician leaders.
  • Passionate about improving outcomes for medically and socially complex populations.
