About Tia

Tia is on a mission to transform healthcare for women by increasing access to and improving the experience of key preventive healthcare services. Known as the best and only way to both transform outcomes and reduce cost, Tia’s preventive care model focuses on integrating key services across primary care, mental health, gynecology, dermatology and other wellness services. Tia is trailblazing a new paradigm for women’s healthcare that treats women as whole people vs. parts or life stages.  Blending in-person and virtual care services, Tia’s “Whole Woman, Whole Life” care model is a unique and “life-long” model for women’s care. By making women’s health higher quality and lower cost, Tia makes women healthier, providers happier, and the business of care delivery stronger — setting a new standard of care for women everywhere.

Role Summary

Tia is looking for a sharp, data-obsessed operator who knows how to turn strategy into repeatable, scalable, margin-positive execution across a multi-state/multi-site clinical business. This leader will serve as the execution engine for the clinical organization,, translating strategic ideas and operating targets into operational reality with focus, clear priorities, and disciplined follow-through. We need an operator who can institutionalize excellence and design an operating cadence, enforcing disciplined execution, and coaching leaders to run the same playbook everywhere while still adapting to local realities. 

The S/VP, Operations will build and lead the core clinical operating system of the business:  capacity planning, clinical operations, visit + scheduling design, visit throughput and patient flow. They’ll see around corners and anticipate the next nine months of operational needs. This person thrives where complexity meets speed — translating top-level goals into clear operational plans, measuring what matters, and ensuring teams deliver.

This is a player-coach role for someone who thrives in the details, moves fast, doesn’t wait to be asked, and takes pride in getting results. They roll up their sleeves, pressure-test assumptions, build and refine operational models, and hold teams accountable with clarity and empathy. They love a good experiment, move fast with data, and never lose the plot: patient outcomes and business performance must rise together.

This role requires strong executive presence, the ability to influence across clinical and corporate teams, a strong desire and ability to build relationships with clinicians and comfort presenting to the leadership team and Board.

• Proactively identify operational risks and root causes, escalate with crisp recommendations, and lead the org toward rapid resolution.
• Drive continuous improvement: simplify processes, eliminate waste, and iterate operational models to improve margin and quality.
• Hold teams accountable through clarity, transparency, and consistent follow-through.

• Build, test, and refine operational models that support growth, quality, and financial targets.
• Identify bottlenecks before they become crises and lead the organization toward proactive solutions.

Player-Coach Leadership

• Coach and develop operational leaders while personally owning high-stakes deliverables.
• Build strong, trusting partnerships with Clinical Leadership, Marketing, Product, Finance, RCM, and People to ensure end-to-end alignment on operational performance.

• Executive presence and clarity of communication — concise, structured, direct.
• Ability to influence without ego, and hold teams accountable with empathy, firmness and respect.
• Strong operational design and process-building skills; comfort leading through ambiguity and scale.
• Ability to see around corners — anticipating operational needs before they surface.
• Strong player-coach: able to lead at altitude and also drop into the weeds to unblock and execute.
• High analytical horsepower; able to interrogate data, build models, and translate insights into action.
• Deep patient-oriented mindset –  understands that better operations must improve outcomes, not just margins
• Comfortable working in an environment with high ambiguity, high expectations, and high velocity. Not afraid to prototype, test and pivot.

About Tia’s Culture:  

Tia is building a culture of excellence — in people, process and product. This is our northstar value;

What is excellence, exactly?

Excellence about constantly elevating yourself, it is the process of constantly striving to perform to the best of your abilities, and identifying your top potential through constant learning, experimentation and evolution. Excellence is not about achieving perfection, as that insinuates a pinnacle. Instead, in our terms, excellence is about the pursuit of constant improvement. We’re looking for people who want to go on that hard journey of constantly setting new personal records, and organizational records.

We practice excellence at Tia by demonstrating the following types of behaviors: We chose (and actively choose) excellence as Tia’s highest order value because it crystalizes into one word several behaviors that we hold dear, specifically:

A drive to constantly improve through experimentation, reflection. and an insatiable growth mindset — said another way, we’re energized by the possibility of invention, innovation, and iteration

• Being present in and grateful for the journey — not just the goal line. Perfection is static. Excellence is a process (more on this important distinction below)
• Asking why, then why again — because accepting “this is just the way it is” is not good enough
• Grit & perseverance — a maker mentality that involves “rolling up your sleeves”, but also deep care for oneself and for others
• A commitment to uncovering talents to unlock “rock star” potential across every individual

Furthermore, excellence reflects the “bigness” and the “boldness” of Tia’s mission and vision — a world in which every woman can achieve optimal health, as defined by herself.

Said another way, Tia’s mission is NOT to make healthcare incrementally better for women. Instead, we’ve intentionally set out to create a fundamentally new paradigm for modern women’s healthcare that’s truly excellent. We believe that creating a company that operates in a culture of excellence will manifest in our product. Reaching this goal is not an overnight pursuit or a “one and done.” We have not and will not “get it right” with the first swing. Rather, this higher order goal is a moving target — one we have not and will not ever fully “achieve.” By design, we will never be “done” with this work, but instead, we will be continuously in pursuit of our mission. It is this continuous pursuit — the journey, not the finish line — that truly embodies excellence.

This position may require attendance at company and team off-sites.
