About The Role
Matter Health is seeking a VP of Care Operations to lead and scale operational infrastructure supporting our integrated care model across current and future markets.

We are looking for a strategic and hands-on healthcare operations leader who thrives in fast-paced, high-growth environments and is passionate about improving healthcare access for underserved communities.
Although this role is remote/hybrid, candidates based in Tennessee or the Southeast region are strongly preferred due to occasional market travel and in-person leadership collaboration.
