Senior Manager, Home Strategy & Operations
Preferred Location: Denver, CO (Hybrid, 1 day/week in office)

 

Position Summary

DaVita is seeking an analytical, collaborative, and execution-focused Senior Manager, Home Strategy & Operations to join our Home National team. In this role, you will own and drive key operational and analytical workstreams that support DaVita’s broader enterprise Home growth strategy across Peritoneal Dialysis (PD) and Home Hemodialysis (HHD).
 

Working within a strategic framework, the Senior Manager will lead independent workstreams focused across core growth levers: New Starts (early patient education, nephrologist engagement support, and start pathways) and In-Center Conversions (modality choice education routines and transition workflows).
 

The Senior Manager will lead a small team of analysts and managers to generate actionable insights, develop operational collateral, and manage collaborative working relationships across Field operations and corporate functions (e.g., Clinical Enterprise, Integrated Kidney Care, Product, and Finance).
 

Why This Role Matters

Home dialysis is one of DaVita’s top clinical and strategic priorities. Treating at home can offer kidney care patients greater independence, flexibility, and improved clinical outcomes.

This role serves as a vital bridge between national strategy and field execution. By translating strategic priorities into structured work plans, robust data insights, and practical tools, the Senior Manager enables field and clinical teams to expand patient access to home modalities and achieve sustainable Home modality growth.

• Scorecards & Dashboards: Build, maintain, and enhance operational scorecards and reporting tools in collaboration with Finance and Analytics teams to track workstream progress and business impact.

• Actionable Recommendations: Translate performance data into clear operational findings, recommending tactical adjustments to work plans and resourcing to leadership.
   

4. Cross-Functional Collaboration & Field Partnership

• Collaborative Relationship Management: Build and nurture strong working relationships across corporate functional teams (Clinical Enterprise, Integrated Kidney Care, Digital Product, People & Talent) and Field Operations leadership.

• Two-Way Communication: Act as an accessible liaison between national workstreams and field operations teammates, gathering frontline feedback to ensure national tools remain operationally sound and user-friendly.

• Structured Framing & Updates: Prepare clear, concise presentations, status summaries, and data visualizations for project working groups and leadership reviews.
   

5. Team Leadership & Talent Development

• People Leadership: Lead, mentor, and develop a small team of analysts and/or project managers, fostering a collaborative, accountable, and continuous-learning team environment.

• Timely, high-quality execution and delivery of assigned workstream milestones and deliverables.
