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.

• 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.

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.
