Redefine what's possible in kidney care.

DaVita Integrated Kidney Care (DaVita IKC) is one of the largest end-to-end kidney care providers; we manage $5.5B+ in annualized medical spend through value-based partnerships. We provide comprehensive care and complex chronic condition management to 80k+ patients nationwide, whether they are in the early stages of kidney disease, transitioning to dialysis, seeking a kidney transplant or receiving life-sustaining dialysis.

DaVita IKC delivers holistic, value-based care across the kidney journey-from early-stage CKD through dialysis or transplant preparation-by partnering closely with patients, teammates, and physician groups. As VP, Chief Medical Officer (CMO) , you will shape clinical strategy, elevate quality, and lead cross-functional teams to improve outcomes and total cost of care for CKD and ESKD populations.

This role is more than a title, it's a platform to build and scale care models, strengthen clinical governance, and mentor clinicians in a high-growth, innovation-oriented environment.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities

Clinical Strategy & Operational Oversight

  • Lead IKC clinical care models across markets to reduce hospitalizations, improve engagement, and lower total cost of care.
  • Design and implement clinical infrastructure, metrics, and milestones aligned to DaVita initiatives (e.g., CKD / ESKD programs, home therapies).
  • Guide model-of-care development and implementation (e.g., CKCC and other value-based programs) in partnership with physician practices and internal teams.
  • Review population-level data (utilization, quality, risk) and drive evidence-based changes to strategy and process.
  • Partner with Home Dialysis leadership to expand home treatment options within IKC.
  • Oversee regulatory and compliance considerations for clinical programs; contribute to risk stratification and safety oversight.
  • Build strong relationships with partner nephrologists; advance shared clinical governance and physician accountability.

Clinical Systems Design & Education

  • Proactively meet regularly with DaVita clinical and operational leaders to review care quality, documentation, and operational performance.
  • Update and refine protocols and playbooks that support NPs and care teams in managing panels at scale.
  • Training, Development & Compliance

  • Lead education for physicians and practices on IKC and value-based programs.
  • Develop training and change-management plans so teammates perform at top of license.
  • Champion clinical documentation excellence and IT enablement (EMR workflows, automation, compliance flags).
  • External Leadership & Collaboration

  • Serve as an executive liaison with CMMI / CMS and other external agencies; engage physician counterparts and key stakeholders to advance IKC's mission.
  • Other duties as assigned.
  • What You'll Bring

  • Clinical leadership background :
  • 5+ years nephrology clinical practice experience or relevant clinical experience within value-based care for patients with poly-chronic disease.

  • 3+ years leading clinical organizations with advance practitioner providers.
  • 3+ years prior leadership and leading teams(e.g., medical director or equivalent).
  • Population health & VBC expertise with a track record improving quality, patient experience, and cost outcomes.
  • Builder mindset-create, pilot, and scale programs in evolving environments; bring teammates along through change.
  • People developer & coach-model service excellence with patients, families, physicians, administrators.
  • Cultural competence and ability to lead diverse teams and communities.
  • Metrics-driven operator who connects clinical outcomes to business results.
  • Executive communication-clear, concise, and data-driven; strong written and verbal skills.
  • Change agility-prioritize, multi-task, and lead through transformation.
  • Education & Credentials

  • MD or DO required.
  • Board certification in Nephrology (or Internal Medicine with deep CKD / ESKD experience) preferred.
  • What We'll Provide :
