Manager, Value-Based Care Growth

Posting Date

DaVita Integrated Kidney Care (IKC) is at the forefront of transforming healthcare through value-based care models for patients with complex, chronic conditions. This means slowing disease progression, reducing avoidable hospitalizations, and improving quality of life while lowering the total cost of care. We are a fast-paced, mission-driven team at the center of DaVita's long-term growth and innovation strategy.

As the Manager of Value-Based Care Growth, you will be the strategic engine for digging into unexplored spaces, tackling open-ended questions and defining what's next for our growth portfolio. This role is about identifying new opportunities to raise awareness about our care model, shaping new health plan partnerships, and creating new pathways for patients to access benefits that improve their quality of life.

You will translate complex, ambiguous ideas into clear strategic frameworks, design innovative care support and member journey concepts, and drive high-impact pilots from ideation to execution. Additionally, you will directly manage an analyst teammate, guiding their development and leveraging their support to maximize impact across your portfolio.

The ideal candidate is a strategic problem-solver who pairs strong healthcare provider and payor acumen with an operator's mindset-someone who can collaborate effectively, turn innovative ideas into practical programs and drive measurable clinical and commercial impact.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities

• Value-based Care Growth Strategy: Shape and execute our value-based care growth roadmap, translating market opportunities, regulatory shifts and patient needs into actionable growth strategies.

• Growth Innovation Pipeline: Build, prioritize and manage a dynamic calendar of innovation initiatives. Take high-potential concepts from ideation through scoping, business case development, workflow build and live pilot execution-measuring impact and scaling proven models across the enterprise.

• Operational Integration & Cross-Functional Alignment: Partner across clinical operations, field leadership, actuarial, compliance, and legal teams to integrate new growth workflows and pilot operations into the clinical environment with minimal friction and maximum adoption.

• Performance Governance & Analytics: Partner with analytics and finance teams to track growth KPIs, evaluate pilot outcomes, synthesize insights, and lead regular business operating reviews for executive leadership.

• Strategic Project Management: Shape and own diverse strategic projects, providing leadership to tackle ad hoc needs across the growth portfolio.

• Team Leadership & Development: Directly lead, mentor and develop an analyst teammate. Structure workstreams, prioritize deliverables, foster continuous learning and champion DaVita culture.

Qualifications

• 3 to 5+ years of progressive experience supporting and leading strategic work, preferably in the healthcare industry.

• Proven ability to conceptualize, scope, and execute pilot initiatives or "test and learn" programs from 0-to-1 in a fast-paced, matrixed environment.

• Strong strategic, analytical and problem-solving acumen; comfortable translating complex data and member insights into compelling executive narratives and operational playbooks.

• Exceptional relationship-building, stakeholder management, and influence skills with both internal cross-functional partners and external health plan leaders.

• Experience formally managing, mentoring, or guiding analysts or junior team members preferred.

• Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience required; Master's degree (MBA, MHA, MPH) is a plus.
