Job Description

Director, Medical Operations

Natera

• Serve as the physician-facing point of medical contact for ordering providers, applying clinical judgment to resolve questions and concerns that require a physician's perspective. • Provide medical leadership to the internal teams that support ordering physicians, translating clinical context into operational decisions. • Lead the development and optimization of physician onboarding and ordering workflows to ensure a seamless ordering experience for physicians. • Identify and address clinical and operational barriers that impact physician adoption, utilization, and retention. • Partner with Medical Affairs, Laboratory, and commercial cross-functional teams to improve end-to-end clinical and operational processes. • Provide medical oversight and guidance for clinical experience initiatives and operational improvement projects. • Analyze physician ordering patterns, operational metrics, and physician feedback to identify opportunities for process improvement. • Serve as a senior clinical and operational resource to ordering physicians for complex clinical questions and escalations. • Translate physician insights and operational challenges into actionable recommendations for Medical Affairs and business leadership. • Drive initiatives to improve specimen quality, turnaround times, ordering efficiency, and the overall quality of the physician ordering experience. • Evaluate and address challenges that contribute to provider attrition, including clinical friction, workflow inefficiencies, and ordering obstacles.

Job Requirements

  • MD degree required, with clinical training sufficient to engage ordering physicians as a credible peer; completion of residency or additional post-graduate clinical training preferred but not required.
  • Strong understanding of physician workflows and the clinical decision-making and realities of practice for ordering providers.
  • Credibility to engage practicing physicians peer to peer, physician to physician.
  • Experience in healthcare operations, payer organizations, healthcare consulting, hospital administration, or process improvement functions preferred.
  • Demonstrated ability to improve healthcare delivery, operational efficiency, or physician experience.
  • Strong cross-functional leadership and stakeholder management skills.
  • Ability to analyze complex operational challenges and develop scalable solutions.
  • Experience working across medical, operational, and commercial teams is highly desirable.
  • This role is best suited for a physician who understands the ordering provider's perspective firsthand but has built a career focused on healthcare operations, process improvement, consulting, or system optimization rather than maintaining an active clinical practice.
