About The Position

The Director or Senior Director of Operations will own day-to-day execution across Karoo’s markets and lead the development and scaling of the tools, systems, and processes that enable reliable, high-quality care delivery.

This role is critical to making Karoo’s care model real, reliable, and repeatable. You’ll ensure that patients receive high-quality care, providers experience operational ease, and the company can scale. Your work will directly impact outcomes, growth, and the sustainability of our value-based model.

• Partner closely with Product and Clinical Operations to translate real-world operational needs into scalable technical solutions.
• Ensure systems are intuitive for frontline teams and reduce administrative burden rather than adding complexity.

• Process Design & Scalability
• Build and maintain core operational processes, SOPs, and playbooks that enable consistent execution across markets.
• Standardize where possible while preserving flexibility needed for early-stage iteration and market-specific requirements.

• Translate strategic priorities into clear operational plans and timelines.
