About the role

The Director of Clinical & Operational Strategy, Acute Care provides system-level clinical and operational subject matter expertise to inform TeleTracking’s product strategy, use case development, and acute-care operational design. The role partners with Product, Analytics, Commercial, Clinical Services, and other internal teams to align recommendations with current-state and future-state workflows, regulatory and accreditation considerations, and enterprise performance drivers. This position operates as a senior individual contributor within a formal triad model alongside Product and Services leadership. This job description is not intended to be an all-inclusive list of duties, responsibilities, or qualifications associated with the role.

What you will do

Clinical & Operational Strategy Integration

• Translate acute-care clinical and operational workflows into clear requirements, use cases, and decision support for Product and Engineering teams.
• Contribute to roadmap development through use case definition, workflow validation, and future-state capability design in collaboration with cross-functional stakeholders.
• Incorporate health-system performance drivers into analyses and recommendations (e.g., length of stay, throughput, labor efficiency, contribution margin, avoidable delays, access constraints, capacity bottlenecks) while adhering to applicable policies and standards.

 Cross-Functional Strategic Partnership

• Collaborate with stakeholders across Product, Commercial, Clinical, Enterprise Analytics, Services, and other internal teams to scope, validate, and deliver strategic recommendations.
• Solicit and consider diverse perspectives and data sources to support sound judgment and reduce bias in analysis.
• Synthesize cross-functional input into documented, enterprise-aligned recommendations and communicate rationale, tradeoffs, and assumptions.
• Follow company policies and applicable legal/regulatory requirements when handling sensitive information (including patient or client data, as applicable) and when engaging with customers, partners, or internal teams.

Expanded Acute & Health-System Framing

• Represent the full acute ecosystem: ED, inpatient, ICU, care management, patient flow, transfer/access, and transitions of care.
• Exclude perioperative operations, while incorporating the operational transitions to and from perioperative services (pre-op readiness, post-op placement, bed flow, downstream constraints etc.).
• Frame decisions within the broader health-system context, incorporating clinical, operational, and financial implications.

Facilitation & Alignment Leadership

• Convene and facilitate stakeholders across the organization — Product, Services, Commercial, Clinical, and others — to achieve aligned, enterprise-level results.
• Reduce rework by promoting early engagement and multi-perspective planning.
• Model collaborative, alignment-first behaviors.

Triad Leadership & Collaboration

• Operate as one of three strategic leaders within the acute-care triad. Ensure clinical and system-level insights are incorporated into shared decision-making.
