Description

About Us:

Cityblock Health is the first tech-driven provider for communities with complex needs—bringing better care to where it’s needed most, block by block. Founded in 2017 on the premise that “health is local” and based in Brooklyn, we are backed by Alphabet’s Sidewalk Labs along with some of the top healthcare investors in the country.

Our mission is to improve the health of underserved communities. Importantly, our solutions are designed specifically for Medicaid and lower-income Medicare beneficiaries, and we meet our members where they are, bringing care into the home and neighborhoods through our community-based care teams and Virtual Care offerings.

In close collaboration with community-based organizations, local providers, and leading health plans, we are reorganizing the health system to focus on what matters to our members. Equipped with world-class, custom care delivery technology, we deliver personalized primary care, behavioral health, and social services to deliver a radically better experience of care for every member and community we serve.

Over the next year, we’ll grow quickly to bring better care to many more members and their communities. To do this, we need people who, like us, believe that everyone should have good care for what matters to them, in their community. 

Our work is grounded in a belief in the power of a diverse community. To close gaps in care and advance equity in the communities we serve, we have to start with making our own team diverse and inclusive. Our ways of working are characterized by creativity, collaboration, and mutual learning that comes from bringing together a community from diverse backgrounds and perspectives. We strive to ensure that every person on the Cityblock team, and every Cityblock member, feels supported and included as a part of our community.

Our Values:

  • Aim for Understanding
  • Be All In
  • Bring Your Whole Self
  • Lean Into Discomfort
  • Put Members First

About our Team: 

We employ a field-based, home-based care model and are committed to meeting members where they are--in their homes, in their community, and in our Hubs. You will go above and beyond to connect with Cityblock members in a non-judgmental, respectful and empathic manner, to meet their needs, and to provide feedback to the system as a whole as we strive to do better every day.

About the Role:

The Intern of Market Operations will lead operational initiatives across Cityblock’s growing Mobile Integrated Care (MIC) team. You will report to the Director of Market Operations and will work closely with a team of clinical and operational leaders to build and optimize our processes.

Mobile Integrated Care (MIC) is a team that provides essential urgent and acute care services to support our members and their health outcomes. We currently offer three primary services:

  • Virtual Urgent Care: Video and telephone visits for urgent clinical needs, delivered by Advanced Practice Providers (NPs/PAs)
  • ED at Home: In-person/video hybrid visits for urgent clinical needs, delivered by a team of allied health professionals (typically Paramedic trained) who are deployed to our members’ homes with the virtual support of an Emergency Medicine Provider
  • EMT-assisted provider visits: A scheduled clinical visit that pairs a virtual provider with an in-person allied health professional (typically EMT trained), allowing our members to see a provider via video call wherever they feel most comfortable

You will wear many hats and assume major responsibilities within high visibility projects related to building, monitoring and improving MIC’s core operations as we scale rapidly within our markets and evaluate opportunities to improve our processes. You will partner closely with others on the MIC team, including our clinical leaders, to ensure that infrastructure is in place to support our clinical team’s work to serve Cityblock’s members.

The ideal candidate learns quickly, takes initiative, and can work collaboratively with all team members. You love to build and test new processes and workflows, and are ready to roll up your sleeves and dig into the details to make sure they land. If you draw insights from data, like solving hard problems, have experience serving on teams to deliver high impact projects and initiatives, are excited about joining an organization that will drive significant change in the healthcare industry, and are an amazing teammate, then we want to hear from you!

Responsibilities:

  • Act like an strong individual contributor; constantly and proactively interrogate our operations to identify opportunities for performance improvement with guidance and mentorship from the MIC market ops managers and clinical directors
  • Build and analyze data dashboards to monitor and report on performance
  • Design, build, and execute the launch of new processes to drive performance improvement including clinical handoffs design, member engagement and experience strategies, provider visit flow, and other initiatives
  • Bring analytic rigor to problem solving, always aiming to quantify the magnitude of problems
  • Bring curiosity to problem solving by identifying key information required, tracking down the information, investigating the information, and synthesizing findings
  • Collaborate with MIC team leadership, frontline clinicians, and cross-functional partners
  • Successfully ship new workflows (including training the team and relevant stakeholders) with clear metrics to track the workflows’ success and iterate as needed
  • Clearly document all policies and procedures to ensure team adherence to compliance requirements and digestible references for team use
  • Lead pilots of market-level initiatives, distill learnings, and scale those initiatives across our national operations
  • Serve as project contributor for longer term initiatives

Requirements for the Role:

  • This role is for MBA candidates with a healthcare background to intern at during their summer between their 1st and 2nd years.
  • Comfort with executing complex, cross-functional projects with many stakeholders and an emphasis on change management.
  • Strong “build” capabilities - able to define and scope problem statements, create clarity in the face of ambiguous situations, build strong processes to execute on solutions, and operationalize through robust implementation and change management
  • Love for data, and an ability to quickly translate business questions into meaningful analyses with easy to understand outputs and visualizations (using tools like Excel, Tableau, Looker, etc.).
  • Comfort with quarterly initiative planning including structuring and managing a roadmap.
  • Detail orientation and a process-oriented mindset.
  • Strong interpersonal skills and judgment. Ability to maintain excellent working relationships across departments, understanding the need to bring in key team members at the appropriate time during the implementation life cycle.
  • Has exceptional verbal and written communications skills.
