Position Overview

Can work from any state but must be available for work in PST and be licensed in California.

We are seeking an experienced and mission-driven physician leader to serve as the Program Medical Director for multidisciplinary care programs supporting complex Medi-Cal, Medicare Advantage, and dual-eligible populations.

This role blends clinical leadership with strategic oversight—ideal for a physician who excels in guiding value-based programs, partnering with health plans, shaping operational alignment, and developing high-performing care teams.

As the organization expands, this position will evolve into an enterprise-level leadership role with broad influence over medical strategy, clinical operations, and regional team development.




Key Responsibilities

Health Plan Collaboration & Strategic Leadership

  • Serve as the lead clinical representative in recurring operational and strategy meetings with payer partners.

  • Collaborate directly with medical directors and quality teams on care model design, performance evaluation, and program refinement.

  • Participate confidently in discussions involving value-based metrics, shared savings, contract provisions, and risk-based performance indicators.

  • Translate regulatory and contractual expectations into clear workflows for internal teams.

Provider Leadership, Coaching & Team Development

  • Provide mentorship and supervision to Nurse Practitioners and interdisciplinary care teams.

  • Foster a culture of accountability, collaboration, and clinical excellence.

  • Guide teams toward measurable performance outcomes and coordinated care delivery.

  • Support hiring, onboarding, and development of additional providers as new programs launch.

  • Transition over time from direct oversight to broader strategic and organizational leadership.

Cross-Functional Alignment & Internal Partnership

  • Act as the clinical liaison between payer requirements and internal operational leaders.

  • Partner closely with Operations, Quality, Compliance, and Analytics to ensure program success.

  • Participate in internal leadership discussions to improve processes, identify trends, and enhance program outcomes.

Program Optimization & Quality Oversight

  • Oversee quality and compliance initiatives for Medi-Cal, Medicare Advantage, and dual-eligible programs.

  • Use performance data to guide decision-making, interventions, and continuous improvement.

  • Support audit readiness and quality incentive program requirements.




Qualifications

  • MD with an active, unrestricted California medical license.

  • Minimum 5 years of clinical experience in adult internal medicine, cardiology or primary care.

  • At least 2 years of leadership or supervisory experience.

  • Background working with Medi-Cal, Medicare Advantage, and dual-eligible populations.

  • Strong understanding of value-based care, risk arrangements, and quality metrics.

  • Proven ability to collaborate with payer partners on clinical and contractual topics.

  • Track record of successfully leading and growing provider teams.




Ideal Candidate

  • A strategic physician leader who can unite multidisciplinary teams around shared goals.

  • Comfortable navigating payer language, performance guarantees, and quality benchmarks.

  • Excels in environments where clinical insight and operational strategy intersect.

  • Motivated to build scalable systems and develop future physician leaders.

  • Passionate about improving outcomes for medically and socially complex populations.
