Clinical Operations Director

About Sunrise Group 

Sleep is one of healthcare’s biggest blind spots. Access is slow, confusing and uneven, and millions of people who need help never get it. Sunrise exists to change that.

Born from pioneering research on mandibular jaw movement, we built a chin-based sleep test that reinvented how sleep disorders can be diagnosed from home. That breakthrough has evolved into a full sleep-health platform: advanced diagnostic and treatment technology paired with clinical care delivered directly to patients’ homes through Dreem Health in all 50 U.S. states.

Across the U.S. and Europe, our 100+ clinicians, engineers and operators share one mission: make high-quality sleep care accessible to everyone. Backed by more than $50M, we’re taking on one of healthcare’s biggest challenges: the 1+ billion people worldwide who still can’t get the sleep care they need.

Ideally, the candidate chosen for this opportunity will reside on the East Coast of the US.

Your Opportunity

We are seeking a  Clinical Operations Director to lead and scale the operational engine behind our rapidly growing clinical business.

Reporting directly to the Chief Operating Officer, this executive leader will own the quality, efficiency, scalability, and financial performance of clinical operations across the organization. This is not a build-from-scratch role—it is a scale-and-optimize leadership opportunity focused on strengthening what works, improving what does not, and building the operational infrastructure required to support significant growth over the next several years.

As a key member of the operations leadership team, the Clinical Operations Director will oversee day-to-day performance of our clinical operations, care coordination, conversion funnel from referral to treatment, and clinical logistics while partnering closely with Medical Directors, Legal & Compliance, Managed Care Contracting, Revenue Cycle Management, Product, Technology, and Finance.

This leader will translate business objectives into operational execution, ensuring that clinical operations can support increasing patient volume while maintaining exceptional patient outcomes, provider satisfaction, operational excellence, and financial performance.

At Sunrise Group, we work on a problem that affects millions: poor sleep and untreated sleep disorders. Our mission is to make diagnosis and care easier to access, and we’re proud of the experience we provide to patients. We feel responsible for making it better every day. If you’re looking for the autonomy to take ownership of your work, make an impact, and be part of a team where ideas move fast and everyone has a voice -  this role is for you!
