Director, Partnership Operations

OUR MISSION

We exist to create a more connected, compassionate, and confident experience for people with cancer and those who care for them. We make it easier to get answers, access high-quality care quickly, and feel supported throughout treatment and beyond.

Today, Thyme Care is a market‑leading value‑based oncology care enabler, partnering with national and regional health plans, providers, and employers to deliver better outcomes and lower costs for thousands of people across the country. Our model combines high‑touch human support with powerful technology and AI to bring together everyone involved in a person’s cancer journey: caregivers, oncologists, health plans, and employers.

As a tech‑native organization, we believe technology should strengthen the human connection at the center of care. Through data science, automation, and AI, we simplify complexity, improve collaboration, and help care teams focus on what matters most: supporting people through cancer.

Looking ahead, our vision is bold: to become a household name in cancer care, where every person diagnosed asks for Thyme Care by name. If you’re inspired to make cancer care more human and to help reimagine what’s possible, we’d love to meet you. Together, we can build a future where every person with cancer feels truly cared for, in every moment that matters.

As a Director, Partnership Operations at Thyme Care, you’ll be responsible for driving business outcomes for partners by translating strategic goals into scalable operations that deliver measurable results, all while developing and managing relationships with health plans and risk‑bearing entities.

You will:

• Lead implementation and performance management for payer and risk‑bearing partnerships from contract to maturity.

• Own joint operating committees and business reviews, communicating progress, insights, and opportunities for deeper collaboration and partner expansion.

This role is ideal for a strategic operator — someone who can think big, move fast, and drive results with both structure and creativity.

You bring a mix of strategic thinking and operational execution, with experience managing complex partnerships and working cross‑functionally to turn ideas into measurable outcomes.

• 6–10+ years in management consulting, strategy, or healthcare operations, ideally with payer, provider, or care delivery exposure.
• Proven ability to analyze, structure, and execute high‑impact projects in a fast‑paced, matrixed environment.
• Strong communicator and presenter; skilled at synthesizing complex information into concise, executive‑ready materials.
• Confident navigating ambiguity and influencing across teams.
• Hands‑on leader who takes ownership from problem to implementation.

• Background in healthcare, care management, or value‑based care.
• Blend of consulting and in‑house experience in high‑growth or startup settings.
