About the role (What you'll be doing)
We’re seeking an Operations Director to build and lead our growing support operations in the Philippines.
This is a critical leadership role that will shape how our patient-facing teams operate and scale.
The function is still relatively new, with developing systems and junior team leads. That means you’ll be joining at a formative stage — creating structure, implementing processes, and establishing a culture of excellence and accountability.
You’ll have the opportunity to define how the function runs day-to-day while setting its long-term vision: building a learning culture, implementing robust knowledge management, driving quality improvement, and fostering a meritocratic environment where impact is rewarded above tenure.
This is a role for someone who thrives on ownership — balancing strategic foresight with a willingness to be close to the ground.
You’ll report to our Patient Operations Lead and work closely with patient experience, medical, and product teams to ensure operational alignment.
Operational Leadership
- Optimize daily operations for Patient and Medical Support teams across phone, chat, and email channels.
- Build and formalize the operational backbone — workflows, queue management, escalations, and reporting cadence.
- Track, analyze, and improve key performance metrics such as throughput, SLA adherence, and quality.
- Serve as the first point of contact for cross-functional project launches, ensuring operational readiness and clear communication.
Function Building & Strategy
- Establish the vision, structure, and roadmap for the support function as it scales.
- Design operating models, escalation frameworks, and performance metrics that promote clarity and accountability.
- Lead change management initiatives as systems, tools, and processes evolve.
- Partner with senior leadership to forecast resources and set strategic priorities.
Learning, Quality & Knowledge Management
- Build a learning and development framework for all support roles, from onboarding to leadership upskilling.
- Oversee knowledge systems (e.g. Zendesk, Confluence, Notion) to ensure accurate and accessible SOPs and training materials.
- Implement and maintain quality assurance programs that measure and improve consistency in patient interactions.
- Drive a culture of continuous learning, documentation, and feedback.
People & Culture Leadership
- Lead and coach a team of managers and supervisors, developing them into confident, capable leaders.
- Shape and embed a performance-based, meritocratic culture.
- Establish communication rhythms and transparent feedback practices that strengthen team alignment.
- Motivate and engage teams operating across mid-shift and night-shift hours, ensuring sustainability and morale.
Data, Reporting & Insights
- Build visibility through data dashboards and regular reports that turn numbers into actionable insights.
- Prepare and present operational updates to senior leadership, highlighting performance trends and improvement plans.
- Ensure data integrity across CRM and ticketing systems.
- (Preferred) Use SQL or similar tools for independent analysis and process optimization.
Cross-Functional Collaboration
- Act as the operational liaison between support and cross-functional teams — including medical, product, and patient experience.
- Represent the function in project launches, ensuring all patient-facing materials and processes are ready for deployment.
- Collaborate with tech and product teams to optimize tools like Zendesk, ensuring they serve both patient and team needs.
