About the role (What you'll be doing)

We’re seeking an Operations Director to build and lead our growing support operations in the Philippines.

This is a critical leadership role that will shape how our patient‑facing teams operate and scale.

The function is still relatively new, with developing systems and junior team leads. That means you’ll be joining at a formative stage — creating structure, implementing processes, and establishing a culture of excellence and accountability.

You’ll have the opportunity to define how the function runs day‑to‑day while setting its long‑term vision: building a learning culture, implementing robust knowledge management, driving quality improvement, and fostering a meritocratic environment where impact is rewarded above tenure.

This is a role for someone who thrives on ownership — balancing strategic foresight with a willingness to be close to the ground.

You’ll report to our Patient Operations Lead and work closely with patient experience, medical, and product teams to ensure operational alignment.

Operational Leadership

• Optimize daily operations for Patient and Medical Support teams across phone, chat, and email channels.
• Build and formalize the operational backbone — workflows, queue management, escalations, and reporting cadence.
• Track, analyze, and improve key performance metrics such as throughput, SLA adherence, and quality.
• Serve as the first point of contact for cross‑functional project launches, ensuring operational readiness and clear communication.
• Establish the vision, structure, and roadmap for the support function as it scales.
• Design operating models, escalation frameworks, and performance metrics that promote clarity and accountability.
• Lead change management initiatives as systems, tools, and processes evolve.
• Partner with senior leadership to forecast resources and set strategic priorities.

Learning, Quality & Knowledge Management

• Build a learning and development framework for all support roles, from onboarding to leadership upskilling.
• Oversee knowledge systems (e.g. Zendesk, Confluence, Notion) to ensure accurate and accessible SOPs and training materials.
• Implement and maintain quality assurance programs that measure and improve consistency in patient interactions.
• Drive a culture of continuous learning, documentation, and feedback.
• Lead and coach a team of managers and supervisors, developing them into confident, capable leaders.
• Shape and embed a performance‑based, meritocratic culture.
• Establish communication rhythms and transparent feedback practices that strengthen team alignment.
• Motivate and engage teams operating across mid‑shift and night‑shift hours, ensuring sustainability and morale.
