We are rapidly expanding our mission and looking for passionate team members to join. Abby Care has partnered with leading insurance plans, healthcare providers, and community organizations.

Requirements

4+ years of professional experience in a highly analytical and fast-paced environment, such as management consulting, strategy/operations, or finance roles in a high-growth environment.
Exceptional analytical, quantitative, and financial modeling skills. You are comfortable with data and can use it to build compelling business cases and drive decisions.
Proven track record of independently leading complex initiatives or programs from zero to one.
Demonstrated ability to operate with autonomy in ambiguous environments and drive results across multiple stakeholders.
Outstanding communication and presentation skills. You can distill complex information into clear, actionable insights for any audience - field teams or executives.
Executive presence and strong cross-functional influence, with the ability to represent operational priorities and drive alignment across teams.
A desire to transition from a purely analytical role to a hands-on, operational leadership position. You are looking to build and scale a business, not just analyze it.

Responsibilities

Own complex cross-functional programs end-to-end: Lead high-impact initiatives across operations, growth, and product teams—driving alignment, execution, and results across multiple stakeholders.
Relentlessly drive market growth: Partner with on-the-ground ops, HQ platform teams, and cross-functional leads to own market operations, service delivery, and expansion—no task is too big or small for you.
Launch and scale new programs (0→1): Identify opportunities for new operational initiatives, design the strategy, build the initial workflows, and drive implementation from concept to scaled execution.
Engineer and scale core processes: Systematically build, optimize, and scale new and existing operational workflows—constantly reduce friction and drive efficiency while keeping patient delight at the center.
Run the business ‘by the numbers’: Own metrics that matter—set aggressive targets for key KPIs (churn, productivity, care quality, etc.) and use data to allocate resources, guide incentives, and prioritize market and product pushes.
Diagnose system-level issues and redesign processes: Develop deep fluency across operational systems, workflows, and edge cases—using data and frontline insights to identify root causes and redesign processes for scalability.
Set and hit aggressive goals: Ruthlessly prioritize for impact, break down ambiguous challenges, and deliver on rapid timelines—no hesitancy in tackling new and ambiguous projects from zero to one.
Operate autonomously and drive accountability: Independently manage initiatives with minimal oversight, proactively identifying risks and driving solutions before escalation is required.
Obsess over continuous improvement: Proactively identify broken processes, recurring fires, and product gaps—invent and test new solutions, features, and models that make ops more seamless and scalable for care staff and families.
Serve as an operational leader across teams: Step in for managers when needed, coordinate workstreams across teams, and ensure operational continuity during high-priority initiatives.
Champion frontline and customer experience: Manage, motivate, and mentor care ops teams (local and remote)—solve people problems, clear blockers, negotiate resources, and unlock leverage for highest impact operators.
Represent operations with executive presence: Communicate insights, tradeoffs, and recommendations clearly to senior leadership and cross-functional partners.
Think like an owner, act like an athlete: Take initiative, operate with extreme accountability, and present solutions—not problems. Willingly flex across job functions and fill gaps wherever the org most needs your horsepower.
