Chief of Staff

Company Overview

At Wider Circle, we connect neighbors for better health. Wider Circle’s groundbreaking Connect For Life program brings communities and healthcare together in-person and on-line for health, wellness, and social activities that improve mental and physical health. We create webs of community circles by employing local and culturally competent engagement specialists whose hands-on approach is informed by a sophisticated analytics platform. We are on a mission to make the world a better place for older adults and disadvantaged communities.

About the Role

Wider Circle's Delivery organization operates Care Delivery, Community and Benefits programs that serve more than 50,000 members across the US. As Chief of Staff to the Chief Delivery Officer (CDO), you'll be the CDO's strategic right hand — running the operating rhythm of the organization, driving executive-level initiatives, and helping launch new business lines, client programs, and partnerships as the company grows.

This is a high-visibility role for someone who wants to sit at the center of a fast-growing healthcare delivery organization as we scale from $20M to $100M in annual revenue. You’ll help translate strategy into execution, and build the systems that let leadership make faster, better-informed decisions.

• Lead executive performance reviews that drive accountability across the org
• Partner with the CDO to translate enterprise strategy into actionable operational plans, helping drive execution of enterprise priorities while navigating ambiguity and shifting priorities with sound judgment.

Support driving strategic initiatives

• Lead or coordinate strategic initiatives and special projects that span multiple business lines or require executive sponsorship.
• Coordinate operational readiness across Operations, Product, and Technology for new clients, acquisitions, and evolving delivery models
