Sr. Manager/Director - Strategy & Operations
Department: Strategy and Operations
Location: 1668 S. Garfield Ave. 2nd Floor, Alhambra, CA 91801
As a Sr. Manager – Strategy & Operations in the Office of the CEO, you will play a pivotal role in shaping and executing the company’s most important strategic priorities. You will work directly with the President & CEO and senior leaders across Astrana Health to design, manage, and deliver high-impact initiatives that drive growth, efficiency, and innovation.
This role is designed for someone who is intellectually curious, relentlessly resourceful, and thrives in fast-moving, complex environments. Unlike traditional corporate roles, this position requires a sense of urgency, intellectual agility, and comfort with ambiguity. You’ll be expected to lead projects end-to-end, manage cross-functional teams, and develop frameworks that influence decision-making at the highest levels of the company.
What You'll Do
- Partner directly with the CEO and executive leadership to drive company-wide strategic priorities from concept through execution.
- Lead cross-functional strategic initiatives, translating high-level goals into actionable plans, milestones, and measurable outcomes.
- Own executive-level operating rhythms, including business reviews, strategic planning cycles, and performance tracking dashboards.
- Develop data-driven insights, business cases, and executive-ready presentations to support key decisions and growth initiatives.
- Act as a strategic “air traffic controller” across teams, ensuring alignment, accountability, and momentum on critical initiatives.
- Identify operational gaps, process inefficiencies, and organizational friction points, and design solutions that scale with the business.
- Serve as a trusted thought partner to senior leaders, proactively surfacing risks, opportunities, and recommendations to improve execution and results.
- Miscellaneous responsibilities as necessary.
- Bachelor’s degree required; Advanced degrees are a plus
- 3+ years of experience in management consulting, investment banking, corporate strategy, healthcare operations, or a similar high-performance environment.
- Proven track record of leading projects or workstreams independently with measurable impact.
- Exceptional problem-solving and critical thinking skills, with the ability to simplify and communicate complex concepts to executives.
- Strong project management skills, including the ability to coordinate multiple initiatives simultaneously under tight deadlines.
- Outstanding written, verbal, and presentation skills, with experience building executive-level deliverables.
- Highly motivated, resourceful, and comfortable with ambiguity — able to set direction in environments with limited structure.
- Advanced proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite (Excel, PowerPoint, Word); familiarity with analytics tools (SQL, Tableau, Python, etc.) is a plus.
- Passion for healthcare and value-based care, with a strong desire to improve outcomes for underserved patients.
- Bias for action, urgency, and impact — this is not a role for someone looking for routine or predictability.
- This is a US remote based role. Plus for candidates who reside in Los Angeles or Las Vegas.
- The national target pay range for this role is $120,000 - $150,000. Actual compensation will be determined based on geographic location (current or future), experience, and other job-related factors.
