, and market-specific nuances into a clear, executable implementation plan and driving it through to a successful go-live and handoff to ongoing operations. This role sits at the intersection of external partner management and internal cross-functional execution. You'll work closely with Strive's clinical, technology, operations, analytics, marketing, and infrastructure teams to keep workstreams aligned and launches on track, while maintaining strong, trust-based relationships with external partners throughout the process.

You'll report directly to the Director of Implementations. The right candidate is a structured, proactive executor who thrives in ambiguity, takes ownership of outcomes rather than just tasks, and is energized by the complexity of value-based care partnerships. This is a lean, high-ownership team, you'll be expected to flex across operational priorities beyond core implementation as business needs evolve, and to bring the same rigor and follow-through to everything you touch.

ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS Own end-to-end implementation for assigned markets, partners, or strategic initiatives, from kickoff through launch ensuring successful launch, transition, and operational readiness. Serve as the primary implementation lead and accountable owner for timelines, deliverables, risks, dependencies, and overall execution quality. Build and manage detailed implementation plans that align internal teams and external partners around scope, milestones, dependencies, and escalation paths — and actively maintain them as conditions evolve.

Drive cross-functional coordination across internal teams to ensure workstreams stay aligned, decisions are made quickly, and blockers are resolved effectively. Lead day-to-day partner relationship management throughout implementation, establishing trust, maintaining clear communication cadences, and ensuring issues are resolved with appropriate urgency and follow-through. Develop working knowledge of partner types across Strive's book of business, including health plans, health systems, provider groups, provider practices and other value-based care organizations, and adapt implementation approach accordingly.
