Strategy & Operations Manager - Patient Support

About The Role

Building the world’s largest digital healthcare company means lots of exciting challenges. We will be:

• Scaling & improving our existing Weight offering
• Launching new exciting product lines and treatments
• Creating a world class mobile experience

The Strategy & Ops Manager will work on the most pressing projects in our function, acting as a ‘swiss army knife’ and reporting to the Head of Patient Operation. You will work closely with leaders in our business across different sites and complete strategic analysis, collaborate with clinical, operations, product and growth to execute on key initiatives, and be a thought partner to the leaders you work with.

No day will be the same. If you’re hungry to make an impact, and excited to one day be a leader in a world-class business - this role is for you.

What You'll Do

You will own a portfolio of high-impact initiatives (typically 2+ at a time) that materially improve patient outcomes and drive meaningful business value for Juniper/Eucalyptus. This is an outcomes-first role: you’ll be accountable for moving core metrics like retention, LTV, patient effort, CSAT/NPS, speed to resolution and contribution margin, not just delivering projects.

Build a category-defining Patient Operations engine (patients choose us—and stay) with different project examples:

• Own the end-to-end retention and experience roadmap for the highest-leverage patient journeys (e.g., onboarding → first outcomes, medication support, renewals, cancellations), identifying where trust breaks and redesigning journeys to reduce friction and increase long-term adherence
• Translate patient + commercial problems into clear hypotheses, measurable success metrics, and an execution plan that ships improvements fast and compounds over time
• Drive step-change performance in our operating model (triage, QA, macros, knowledge base, escalation paths), reducing repeat contacts and backlog while improving patient confidence and resolution quality
• Define and operationalise world-class service levels (SLAs), staffing models, and capacity plans across peaks, new launches and campaign periods—so we are predictably excellent at scale
• Partner with Product/Engineering to build operational platform capabilities (automation, self-serve, workflow tooling, dashboards) that reduce patient effort, improve quality, and lower cost-to-serve—directly improving contribution margin
• Work cross-functionally with Clinical Ops, Pharmacy, Supply Chain/Fulfilment and Growth to resolve systemic issues that harm patient experience (e.g., prescription delays, delivery issues, eligibility/information gaps) and prevent them recurring

Drive stakeholders to decisions and shipped outcomes (strategy → impact)

• Build business cases that quantify patient, revenue, and margin impact; influence prioritisation so the team invests in the highest-return work
• Lead cross-functional delivery end-to-end: align scope, success metrics, dependencies and milestones; drive trade-offs; unblock teams; and hold a high bar for pace and quality
• Create clarity in ambiguity: define the “what” and “why,” then build the operating cadence and accountability to make it happen

Be a strategic owner for Patient Operations leadership

• Act as a thought partner to Patient Ops leaders on operating model, ownership, escalation governance, and workforce strategy as we scale across markets
• Work with Analytics to build a measurement system that links patient experience to business performance (retention, adherence, patient effort, CSAT/NPS, resolution time, cost-to-serve, contribution margin), and turn insights into prioritised roadmaps that deliver durable improvements

About You
