Manager, Program Partnerships and Delivery

The Manager, Program Partnerships and Delivery leads the expansion, implementation, and scaling of the Centralized Clinical Placement System (CCPS), a statewide platform that coordinates clinical training placements between healthcare providers and academic programs. The Manager develops strategic partnerships with hospitals, health systems, clinics, other healthcare providers, and educational institutions to expand the CCPS network, accelerate adoption, and optimize available clinical training capacity—particularly in rural and medically underserved communities.

The position manages executive-level relationships with partners and state agencies, collaborates with the product team to align platform delivery with program commitments, and is accountable for achieving milestones, managing risks and dependencies, and increasing partner participation. Through this work, the Manager strengthens California’s healthcare workforce pipeline by improving the coordination of clinical placements and helping more students complete the clinical experiences required to enter the healthcare workforce.
