About The Position

Access TeleCare is redefining how hospitals and health systems deliver specialty care—closing access gaps, improving patient outcomes, and supporting overburdened clinical teams through best-in-class telemedicine solutions. As the nation’s largest provider of telemedicine technology and acute clinical services, our Telemed IQ platform enables life-saving care across behavioral health, psychiatry, and beyond. We are proud to be the first acute telemedicine provider to earn and continuously maintain The Joint Commission’s Gold Seal of Approval. Access TeleCare is seeking an exceptional strategic generalist to serve as VP, Strategy & Analytics, working closely with the CEO, CFO, and broader executive leadership team on the company's highest-priority opportunities and challenges across our acute care telemedicine business and the hospitals and health systems we serve. This is a broad enterprise leadership role rather than a traditional analytics position. The VP will be deployed against the most important questions facing the company – shaping corporate strategy, evaluating growth opportunities, leading complex cross-functional initiatives, supporting M&A and integration, solving emerging operational challenges, and helping senior leadership make high-quality decisions quickly. The role is designed for someone who combines rigorous problem solving with a strong bias toward action. At different points, the VP may be asked to develop a market strategy, evaluate a new business model, lead a major enterprise initiative, support the integration of an acquisition or partnership, diagnose an operating problem, or temporarily take ownership of an important business priority. The VP will also oversee a small analytics team, ensuring the company has the insights and analytical capabilities required to support executive decision-making. However, the core mandate is broader: to serve as a highly trusted, versatile leader who can move fluidly across strategy, operations, growth, finance, technology, and organizational priorities. Success in this role requires intellectual horsepower, exceptional judgment, executive-level communication, comfort with ambiguity, and the ability to rapidly develop expertise in unfamiliar areas. Enterprise strategy leadership with direct executive exposure and ownership of the company's highest-priority initiatives.
