About the role

Original posting from Cloverhealth via Greenhouse

The role

 This is not a traditional Medical Director role. You will be working with and visiting providers within Norther New Jersey.

You’ll sit at the center of how Clover drives clinical quality, cost performance, and provider behavior change across our network—working directly with physicians to improve outcomes at scale.

Your mandate is simple:

turn data into action, and action into better care, better outcomes and more efficient care.

You’ll partner with clinicians on the ground, using data, coaching, and technology (Clover Assistant) to influence how care is delivered—day to day, patient by patient.

What you’ll do

Partner directly with network physicians and care teams to improve quality, outcomes, and total cost of care

Identify performance gaps and translate data into clear, actionable clinical changes

Coach providers (1:1 and group) on evidence-based care, documentation, and population health strategies

Drive adoption and effective use of Clover Assistant in real clinical workflows

Be the tip of the spear for implementation of clinical programs with partner providers

Build trusted relationships with clinicians—serving as a peer advisor, not just a directive voice

Collaborate with Operations, Analytics, and Provider Success to align clinical and business goals

Support and mentor market-level clinical leaders to drive performance across the network

What winning looks like

Measurable improvement in clinical quality metrics and patient outcomes

Reduction in total cost of care through better clinical decision-making

Increased provider engagement and consistent use of Clover Assistant

Providers change behavior—not just understand the data

Strong, trusted relationships across the provider network

Why this role is hard (and worth it)

You’re influencing clinicians—without direct authority

Changing clinical behavior is complex and requires trust, credibility, and persistence

You’ll need to balance data, clinical judgment, and real-world constraints

Your impact is highly visible—and directly tied to patient outcome

Who you are

MD or DO with an active, unrestricted license; board certified (Primary Care preferred)

Clinically credible with 5+ years of practice experience

Experience in value-based care, population health, or risk-based models (MSO, ACO, MA)

Proven ability to influence and coach peer clinicians

Comfortable using data to drive clinical decisions and behavior change

High comfort with EMRs, clinical tools, and technology-enabled care models

Strong communicator who builds trust quickly with physicians and care teams
