About the Role

We're looking for a high-ownership operator to build and run clinician scheduling operations for Wheel Medical Groups1099 and W2 provider group. This is not a coordinator role - it's a builder role. You'll own a function that directly determines whether clinicians are active, earning, and covering the right accounts at the right times. You'll inherit a gap and be expected to close it, instrument it, and make it scalable.

You think in systems. You see a manual workflow and immediately use AI to automate it. You're comfortable pulling your own data, identifying the pattern, and acting on it without being told. You want to work at the intersection of clinician experience, operational performance, and marketplace economics - and you want real ownership of outcomes, not tasks.

You’ll be the bridge between capacity models and real-world execution with real ownership and building a best-in-class scheduling operation from the ground up. You’re deeply curious about using AI, automation, and scrappy workflows to automate yourself out of repetitive tasks so you can focus on higher-judgment, people-facing work. You are extremely data driven and feel comfortable manipulating data to identify patterns and trends.

What You’ll Do

• Own weekly clinician scheduling performance, with a clear mandate to increase available hours across our existing clinician network

• Proactively collect, validate, and expand clinician availability by working directly with providers to align schedules with marketplace demand

• Identify underutilized or low-earning clinicians and execute targeted outreach to increase activation, engagement, and earning opportunities

• Track and analyze availability, utilization, adherence, and earnings trends to identify performance gaps and opportunities for improvement

• Translate capacity guidance into executable schedules while balancing clinician experience with operational performance

• Refine scheduling workflows and operating practices based on real-world performance data

• Partner with Marketplace leadership to drive focused initiatives that expand clinician participation and overall network capacity

• Identify trends in clinician performance and quality, and partner with Clinician Success Leads to drive targeted feedback and remediation, while coordinating with Provider Operations to support clinician activation and readiness against shared goals.

• Manage day-of and short-term scheduling adjustments, including callouts, coverage shifts, and real-time changes

• Build trusted relationships with clinicians to improve responsiveness, reliability, and long-term engagement

• Contribute to the implementation of scheduling tools and automation initiatives to support scalability

• Support clinician pay operations and related administrative workflows as part of cross-functional operational coverage

Who You Are

• 2–4 years of experience in consulting, operations, tech, workforce operations or a high-growth environment where you owned measurable outcomes

• Demonstrated track record of taking ambiguous problems and driving results independently

• Highly analytical and data-oriented - comfortable working in spreadsheets daily and using metrics to guide action

• Experience building reports or dashboards using spreadsheets and/or BI tools (e.g., Looker, Tableau, etc.) to track performance and identify trends

• Proactive and persistent - you don’t wait for direction; you identify gaps and move

• Strong communicator who is comfortable engaging clinicians directly and influencing behavior

• Comfortable operating in fast-moving, high-accountability environments

• Organized and detail-oriented without losing sight of performance impact

• Excited by building process from scratch and improving systems over time

Additional Skills

• Experience working with contingent, contractor, or hybrid workforces

• Experience working with agentic workflows, automation, Claude Code, with interest in applying them to operational efficiency

• Exposure to healthcare, telehealth, marketplace, or marketplace models

• Experience managing real-time operational workflows

• Experience working alongside forecasting or capacity planning functions

• Experience using workforce scheduling or real-time management tools (e.g., Calabrio, Planbase, or similar platforms)
