About This Role

The Scheduling Manager builds and leads the scheduling function for the myPlace Health PACE program—designing workflows, team structure, and KPIs that deliver timely, coordinated access to primary care, specialists, therapies, assessments, and transportation.

This newly created role blends hands-on operations with strategic planning : you’ll stand up scalable processes, optimize tools and dashboards, and drive a high-performing, participant-centered culture. You’ll partner daily with the IDT, Transportation, Enrollment, and Center Operations to keep services aligned and moving.

Expect a fast-paced, office-based environment with heavy computer and phone use, plus frequent in-person and virtual communication. If you’re a mission-driven leader who loves building systems and using data to improve access and experience for frail and older adults, you’ll thrive here.
