Manager, Care Program Strategy and Operations

We’re building a world of health around every individual — shaping a more connected, convenient and compassionate health experience. At CVS Health®, you’ll be surrounded by passionate colleagues who care deeply, innovate with purpose, hold ourselves accountable and prioritize safety and quality in everything we do. Join us and be part of something bigger – helping to simplify health care one person, one family and one community at a time.

Oak Street Health®, a part of CVS Health, helps older adults stay healthier and live fuller lives through our 230 centers across 27 states. Our value-based care model helps us consistently deliver better patient experiences and outcomes, and population health is the engine of our clinical and economic model; it’s how we deliver high-quality, cost-effective care to patients who need it most.

As a Manager, Care Strategy and Operations, you will play a critical role in supporting our Oak Street Health patients, providers and business by owning the strategy and execution for two of our highest-priority clinical initiatives. You’ll lead a small team while working at the intersection of our central functions (“Treehouse”) and field-based clinical operations — translating program design into consistent, measurable delivery across Oak Street centers nationwide.

What You’ll Do

• Manage the programs. Lead strategy, execution, and continuous improvement for our Diabetes and Hypertension programs. Evaluate how they interact with broader Oak Street initiatives to drive clinical and economic results.

• Build and scale. Manage the full lifecycle of clinical interventions — from pilot design and launch through proof of concept and national scale.

• Lead a team. Manage and develop 1–3 direct reports, building capacity while maintaining accountability for program outcomes.

• Drive cross-functional alignment. Partner with clinical, operational, and regional leaders to build business cases and move initiatives forward without formal authority over those teams.

• Ensure field execution. Collaborate with regional teams to translate central strategy into consistent clinical and operational practice at the center level.

• Track what matters. Monitor and communicate key metrics — quality measures, utilization, and financial impact — and use data to drive program decisions.

What You Bring

• 5+ years in healthcare strategy, consulting, population health, consulting, or clinical operations. Bachelor's degree required.

• Demonstrated ability to launch pilots and scale initiatives across a distributed, national footprint

• Strong project management skills across complex, multi-stakeholder environments

• Experience managing or mentoring others, with a collaborative leadership style

• Comfortable synthesizing data to build compelling business cases and influence senior stakeholders

• Thrives in ambiguous, high-growth environments; change-oriented without losing rigor

• Bachelor’s degree required
