Full Job Description
The Opportunity

We're hiring General Managers to own and operate individual markets as we scale our AI-enabled Post Acute Care platform nationally.

This is a P&L ownership role. You will run your market - a metropolitan area or MSA - as your own business. You own the census, the margin, the team, the clinical quality, and the growth trajectory. You operate with a broad mandate: hit your numbers, build your team, win your market.

This is a "run a business, not a workstream" role. Some GMs will take over existing operations and transform them. Others will stand up new markets from scratch, including post-acquisition integrations. All will be expected to operate with the intensity, ownership, and judgment of a founder running a business backed by a growth-stage platform and top-tier investors. All GMs will be supported by central resources and given a robust onboarding program to learn the industry and the business before "getting in the seat".

What the GM Owns
Market P&L
  • Full accountability for your market's financial performance - revenue, census growth, gross margin, and unit economics
  • Drive census growth in partnership with Sales, translating referral pipeline into admitted, scheduled, and served patients
  • Use data and AI-driven tooling to make daily resource allocation decisions that convert top-line growth into bottom-line results
Operations
  • Run daily execution across scheduling, staffing, clinical compliance, and service delivery - dashboards, exception reports, audits, and real-time capacity management
  • Single point of accountability for compliance, survey readiness, and clinical quality in your market
  • Partner cross-functionally with centralized Technology, Compliance, & Operations - these functions support you, but you own the local outcomes
Team
  • Hire, develop, and lead your market's operations team - Schedulers, Patient Care Coordinators, Clinical Managers, Sales Reps, and field clinicians
  • Build bench strength ahead of volume. Sequence hiring and training to support growth, not just maintain current operations
  • Set clear expectations, coach through structured routines, and make the hard calls on performance when someone isn't meeting the bar
Platform
  • Serve as the critical feedback loop between field operations and our AI/product teams - the workflows you run are the ones our engineers are automating
  • Be the voice of your market to leadership: what's working, what's not, and what you need to win
Who You Are

You're a high-ceiling, low-ego operator who wants to own a real business and a real team - not a workstream or a slide deck. You've run complex, people-heavy operations before and you're looking for a role where performance is rewarded with real upside and increasing scope.

This is a blend between platform roll up and startup. Every day brings a new problem. If you err toward action, are hungry for early ownership, and are comfortable making decisions with 80% of the data, you'll thrive here.

Must-Have Experience
  • People leadership - you know how to lead others, set a high bar, and build trust through clear expectations and direct feedback
  • Operational execution at intensity - you've built and managed operational systems across complex, multi-stakeholder environments.
  • Team building at scale - you've hired, onboarded, and scaled teams in operationally intensive environments. You can cite specific sourcing strategies, hiring mistakes, and the process changes you made as a result
  • Performance management - you've made difficult calls: coaching plans, demotions, terminations. You act decisively and can walk through the judgment behind each decision
  • Data-driven problem solving - you have a strong analytical toolkit. You're comfortable with data, can build a simple model quickly, and always get to the "so what." You use data to diagnose root causes and drive organizational change, not just report on lagging indicators
How You Operate
  • Owner, not purely an advisor. You want to be on the hook for the P&L - and you're energized by that accountability
  • Builder, not maintainer. You're energized by standing up new markets, fixing broken operations, and scaling what works
  • Intensity is your default. You manage multiple competing priorities without getting overwhelmed. You thrive in high-tempo operating environments
  • Systems over heroics. You solve problems by building process and infrastructure, not through individual effort that doesn't scale
  • People leader. You set a clear standard, give direct feedback, and build trust with everyone from field clinicians to executives
  • Low ego, high standards. No task is beneath you if it helps the team win. You're in the field, not just in meetings
Nice-to-Haves
  • Experience in PE-backed operating companies or multi-site service businesses
  • Experience managing through rapid growth, post-acquisition integrations, or turnarounds
  • Military experience
  • Multi-site or multi-market operational leadership
  • Familiarity with AI-enabled operations or real-time operational instrumentation
What We Don't Require
  • Home health experience - operational execution capability is what matters
  • Healthcare experience - strong operators from logistics, field services, staffing, or marketplace businesses translate well
Compensation and Growth
  • Competitive base + annual performance bonus tied directly to your market's P&L outcomes across compliance, census growth, operational execution, and patient satisfaction
  • Equity participation - you are building enterprise value, and your compensation reflects that
  • Comprehensive benefits including medical, dental, and 401(k) matching
  • Clear growth path - top-performing GMs take on multi-market responsibility and step into regional and platform-level leadership as we scale. We are building the leadership team that will run this company at $1B+ in revenue
