Job Description
About Waymark
Waymark is a mission-driven team of healthcare providers, technologists, and builders working to transform care for people with Medicaid benefits. We partner with communities to deliver technology-enabled, human-centered support that helps patients stay healthy and thrive. We’re designing tools and systems that bring care directly to those who need it most—removing barriers and reimagining what’s possible in Medicaid healthcare delivery.
Our Values
At Waymark, our values are the foundation of how we work, grow, and support one another:
Bold Builders: We tackle the toughest challenges in care delivery by harnessing the power of community and technology.
Humble Learners: We seek feedback, embrace diverse perspectives, and welcome challenges to our assumptions.
Experiment to Improve: We use data to inform decisions and continuously assess our performance.
Focused Urgency: Our mission drives us to act swiftly and relentlessly in pursuit of meaningful results.
If this resonates with you, we invite you to bring your creativity, energy, and curiosity to Waymark.
About This Role
You will be the second Medical Lead on a interdisciplinary population health team, serving as a primary clinical supervisor and educator for Waymark’s Midwest and West Coast markets. Over the next 18 months, you will help clinically oversee our AI-augmented care navigation platform for Medicaid populations—reviewing and triaging patient escalations in real time, alternating monthly care delivery education sessions with your co-Medical Lead, and conducting weekly multidisciplinary rounds across your regional care teams.
You will also share rotating on-call coverage for urgent after-hours escalations (these are rare) and serve as Waymark’s clinical face to the health system and health plan clinical leadership in your markets.
This role sits at the intersection of clinical rigor, health technology, and community-based care. You will supervise licensed behavioral health clinicians (LCSW/LMFT), advanced practice pharmacists and pharmacy technicians, and advise community health workers and care coordinators—and you will need to be as comfortable discussing motivational interviewing with a CHW as you are presenting outcomes data to a health plan CMO.
Key Responsibilities
- Conduct weekly multidisciplinary rounds with Midwest and West Coast care teams, reviewing patient goals, complex medical and social situations, and providing clinical oversight and outcome-improvement strategies.
- Serve as the designated reviewer and triaging physician for COMPASS patient escalations as they enter the queue, applying clinical judgment to prioritize and direct AI-flagged cases to appropriate next steps.
- Alternate monthly care delivery education sessions with co-Medical Lead, developing and facilitating case-based learning (e.g., SUD management, integrated behavioral health, heart failure, steroid-induced hyperglycemia, functional seizures) for CHWs, care coordinators, pharmacists, and therapists.
- Provide asynchronous and synchronous clinical supervision to licensed therapists (LCSW/LMFT) and pharmacist teams, including time-sensitive escalations such as acutely suicidal or medically unstable patients.
- Rotate on-call coverage with co-Medical Lead for rare after-hours urgent clinical escalations and questions from field teams.
- Serve as the clinical dyad partner for regional operations leads, supporting market performance against quality, HEDIS, and outcomes OKRs.
- Represent Waymark at regional and national meetings with health system and health plan physician leadership, including presentations to MCO and FQHC Chief Medical Officers on Waymark’s care model and COMPASS platform.
- Maintain current knowledge of clinical best practices across primary care, integrated behavioral health, street medicine, and population health, and contribute to quarterly clinical guideline reviews.
Minimum Qualifications
- Medical degree (MD/DO) and active medical license in any U.S. state, in good standing; willingness to obtain licensure in additional states as needed.
- 3-5+ years of primary care practice beyond residency, with substantive experience in safety-net, FQHC, street medicine, or overnight/urgent triage settings.
- Board certification in family medicine, internal medicine, med-peds, or emergency medicine with active maintenance of certification.
- Demonstrated experience supervising multidisciplinary teams inclusive of non-clinical staff (CHWs, care coordinators) and licensed clinicians (PharmD, LCSW/LMFT).
- Competency in integrated behavioral health, substance use/addiction medicine, and care of people experiencing homelessness or housing instability.
- Genuine interest in health technology and AI-assisted care delivery; comfortable working in an agile product development startup environment with evolving tools and workflows.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience in Medicaid managed care, value-based care contracting, or population health programs.
- Familiarity with SMS-based or asynchronous digital health platforms and clinical oversight workflows.
- Experience presenting clinical data or care model performance to external physician or executive audiences (e.g., health plan CMOs, FQHC medical directors).
- Background in clinical quality improvement, HEDIS measurement, or care model design.
- 2+ years in a health tech company or startup environment.
