Daymark Health is a value-based oncology company transforming cancer care through a comprehensive platform combining dedicated care navigation, symptom-focused support, behavioral health, and social resources with evidence-based interventions and hybrid in-person/virtual care delivery.
As Medical Director for California, you will serve as the senior clinical leader for the market, setting clinical vision and standards of care. You operate in a dyad leadership model with the Market Operations Leader, reporting directly to the CEO, combining clinical expertise with operational excellence.
Key responsibilities include:
**Market Leadership:** Launch Daymark's California market alongside the VP of Market Operations and COO. Establish and hold the team accountable to market-level KPIs spanning clinical outcomes, quality, enrollment, and patient experience. While the Market Operations Leader owns the P&L, you share accountability for how the clinical model drives financial performance, including total-cost-of-care savings and reductions in avoidable acute-care utilization. Collaborate on hiring, team management, and day-to-day operational leadership to develop a high-performing, sustainable team.
**Clinical Leadership:** Uphold the care model and quality standards by championing excellence, continuous learning, and evidence-based practice. Serve as the collaborating physician of record for Nurse Practitioners (California requirement) and provide clinical oversight for other clinical staff. Directly manage one to two market-based physicians. Clinical activities account for up to 20% of effort, including direct supportive oncology patient care, second opinions, clinical trial advisory, documentation integrity, complex/high-acuity patient support, clinical escalations, and remote supportive oncology on-call coverage. Partner with national leadership to refine the care model and contribute clinical expertise to new programs and workflows as the company scales.
**Partnerships:** Serve as Daymark's senior clinical representative to oncology practices, PCPs, health systems, and health plan partners in California. Build trust and clinical credibility. Represent Daymark in clinical case conferences and joint operating meetings.
