At Reema Health, we believe a personalized, community-based approach to care makes it easier for anyone to get what they need to improve their lives. We believe a relationship with a real person, someone who listens, meets members where they are, and understands the community's resources can ease those burdens.

As a Care Team Manager, you'll lead a team of Behavioral Health Community Guides while overseeing Reema's care delivery in your market. Each community guide manages a caseload of approximately 80-120 members, helping individuals overcome barriers to care and improve their health. Your role is to ensure your team has the coaching, tools, accountability and support they need to consistently deliver exceptional member experiences and outcomes.

You'll balance people leadership and operational ownership - developing your team, using data to drive performance, using technology to improve team efficiency and member outcomes, and building strong community partnerships. As a growing startup, our teams evolve quickly, so we're looking for a leader who embraces change, inspires others to do the same, and builds a high-performing team that consistently delivers exceptional member outcomes.

This role requires the ability to quickly learn and apply new information across multiple systems and workflows. While you'll receive comprehensive onboarding and support, success in this role comes from being comfortable navigating a fast learning curve and continuously building proficiency over time.

• Coach team members on documentation, workflows, and technology best practices
• Troubleshoot operational challenges and identify opportunities for process improvement
