About MedZed

MedZed is a leader in delivering value-based, technology-enabled social support to a diverse population of high-cost Medicaid members who have been unreachable with telephonic outreach, disconnected from primary care, and using hospital-based services as their primary point of care. We combine innovative technologies with field-based outreach to find and engage these members. We then apply a model of care designed to re-connect them to primary care, address the Health-Related Social Needs (HRSNs) that contribute to their disengagement and present barriers to care, and provide them with the means and knowledge to take more control over their healthcare. Our interventions yield reduced Emergency Department and Inpatient utilization costs for our health plan partners and improved quality of life for their members. We are seeking an accomplished Territory Manager to join our Operations Team to help realize our vision and contribute to long-term value creation.

Position Overview

The ECM Territory Manager (ETM) reports to an ECM Regional Manager (ECM RM) and supervises a direct staff of up to 15 Community Health Navigators. The ETM is responsible for leading their team to achieve monthly and quarterly performance goals, e.g., effective outreach and member engagement through door knocks and telephonic outreach, timely completion of assessments and care plans, delivery of quality care, and successful graduation of members. ETM also maintains audit readiness by ensuring compliance with HIPAA, documentation standards, and all state and health plan regulatory requirements.

A successful ETM brings curiosity and a relentless drive for improvement, balances humanity with productivity, and demonstrates a clear passion for leading and developing teams. The ETM is responsible for setting clear expectations, modeling effective behavior, and maintaining open communication. They support their field-based team by spending time in the field, ensuring a high level of engagement with community-based organizations, health plans, and other partners. The ETM will also teach and coach their team to make sure escalation protocols are understood and practiced, panels are full, safety expectations are met, and members receive exceptional care.

ETMs may be on call during the scheduled work week, and other hours as needed. Since the ETMs schedule must remain flexible, the ETM is expected to flex their schedule to meet the program's objectives.
