CUC Inc. is a publicly traded global healthcare services organization, founded in Japan in 2014 and listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Growth Market. CUC operates with a clear mission:
Creating Hope Through Healthcare—partnering with physicians to build sustainable, patient centered care models supported by strong operational and clinical infrastructure. Over the past decade, CUC has expanded internationally, working with thousands of healthcare professionals and global partners across Japan, Southeast Asia, and the United States.

In the United States, CUC is focused on expanding office-based outpatient interventional care platforms. Individuals who join CUC will partner with a well-capitalized organization that values clinical leadership, program development, and the opportunity to help shape the next generation of outpatient interventional care.

CUC America’s dual-platform strategy is anchored by Beyond Podiatry (BP), an expanding network of over 35 podiatry clinics across five states that serves as our primary vehicle for U.S. expansion through optimized operations and clinical efficiency. Simultaneously, we are leveraging CUC Inc.’s global operational expertise to launch a nationwide Interventional Radiology network
, establishing state-of-the-art Office-Based Labs (OBLs) that specialize in Musculoskeletal (MSK) Embolization. This innovative endovascular approach to chronic pain allows us to redefine the standard of care by delivering precision-based recovery within a modern, streamlined outpatient environment.

As the Strategy & Operations Manager, you will serve as the primary execution engine for CUC America’s dual-platform strategy: leading the high-impact launch of the new Office-Based Lab (OBL) business and driving strategic operational improvements across our existing Beyond Podiatry (BP) network. This is a high-impact leadership role where you will translate high-level strategy into tangible operational success across both platforms.
