Requirements

Our goal is to augment the knowledge and capability of health consumers, caregivers and providers to ensure longer, happier, healthier lives across the globe. mDoc aims to further build capability and to support physicians to provide education and tools to patients to improve self-management. Our ethos is etched in the belief that augmenting the healthcare & technology landscape is paramount to helping us unlock our true potential.

The Position

The Clinical Program Strategy and Design Lead (CPSDL) will play a critical role in shaping the future of our care delivery model. This individual will lead the design, implementation, and evaluation of innovative health programs that integrate digital health, AI-enabled coaching, and in-person services. The role requires a blend of clinical and coaching expertise, systems thinking, program design and analytics skills to ensure our services drive measurable improvements in operational efficiency, member experience, and health outcomes.
