Strategy & Operations Manager - Patient Support

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
