Market Clinician Lead

Bluebird Kids Health • Jacksonville, FL

11d • Onsite

About The Position

The Market Clinician Lead is the senior clinical leader for a defined market and one half of the market leadership dyad. Partnering with the Market Leader (Operations), you are responsible for clinical quality, patient safety, provider development, and consistent execution of Bluebird's pediatric care model. Together, the dyad is accountable for market performance across growth, quality, patient experience, employee engagement, and operational excellence.

This is a practicing physician role with protected administrative time. You will maintain a patient panel while providing clinical leadership across the market.

This is a highly visible, boots-on-the-ground leadership role. Success comes from being present in our practices—observing care delivery, coaching providers in real time, mentoring teams, removing barriers to excellent care, and identifying opportunities for improvement through direct engagement with patients, providers, and staff. Administrative leadership is expected to occur primarily within the practices you support, not from a remote office.

Requirements

• MD or DO with board certification in Pediatrics (Family Medicine considered with predominantly pediatric experience).
• Active, unrestricted medical license and DEA registration (or eligibility before start).
• Five or more years of pediatric primary care experience.
• Strong EHR, documentation, and coding proficiency.
• Ability to travel regularly between market practice locations.

Nice To Haves

• Two or more years of physician leadership experience preferred.
• Experience in value-based care, population health, HEDIS, quality metrics, and provider performance improvement preferred.
• Demonstrated ability to develop clinicians, interpret performance data, and lead measurable improvement.
• Spanish or Haitian Creole proficiency is a plus.

Responsibilities

• Maintain a strong presence across market practices, building trusted relationships with providers and staff. Observe care delivery firsthand, provide real-time coaching, identify opportunities for improvement, and foster a culture of accountability, collaboration, and continuous learning.
• Lead implementation, standardization, and continuous improvement of Bluebird's pediatric care model across all market locations, ensuring consistent, high-quality care.
• Drive clinical quality, patient safety, and population health outcomes, including well-child visits, immunizations, lead screening, chronic disease management, and clinical safety event review and resolution.
• Partner with the Chief Medical Officer and clinician leadership to develop, implement, and reinforce evidence-based clinical guidelines, standardized care pathways, and best practices.
• Recruit, onboard, mentor, coach, and retain providers. Lead peer review, support performance management, and create an environment of continuous professional development and clinical excellence.
• Drive the clinical levers that improve total cost of care, including appropriate referral management, medication stewardship, documentation and coding quality, chronic disease management, and reduction of avoidable emergency department utilization.
• Partner with the Market Leader to align clinical excellence with operational performance. Participate in market leadership meetings, maintain a visible presence across practice locations, and support operational initiatives that improve patient access, efficiency, and the care experience.
• Develop and strengthen relationships with pediatric specialists, hospitals, and community partners to improve care coordination and ensure seamless transitions of care for patients and families.
• Embrace evolving responsibilities and contribute to emerging priorities as the organization grows, continuously improves, and adapts to meet the needs of the communities we serve.

• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision benefits.
• Health Savings and Flexible Spending Accounts.
