Director, Implementation & Customer Success

Lead seamless launches, build strong partnerships, and create lasting customer value.

Remote, U.S.-based; travel as needed to customers and for leadership retreats

The Opportunity

Ovatient is seeking a Director of Implementation and Customer Success to help its partners successfully launch, adopt, optimize, and expand our virtual-first care solutions.

This leader will own the customer journey from sales handoff through implementation, launch, stabilization, and ongoing value realization. You will bring structure to complex, cross-functional work; build trusted relationships with customer operational leaders; and create repeatable systems that help Ovatient scale without losing the flexibility each health system partnership requires.

The ideal candidate is both a disciplined operator and a strategic advisor. We are looking for someone who can translate ambiguity into action, manage complex dependencies, communicate credibly with senior leaders, and keep internal and customer teams aligned around measurable outcomes.

About Ovatient

Ovatient is a virtual-first healthcare services company that puts people—not just patients—at the center of their health journeys. In partnership with leading health systems, we deliver accessible virtual primary care, virtual urgent care, and integrated behavioral health through Epic and MyChart, helping ensure care is connected and coordinated.

Founded by The MetroHealth System and MUSC Health, Ovatient helps health care organizations expand access, strengthen patient relationships, improve care continuity, and retain more care within their trusted networks. Our model is virtual-first, not virtual-only—and entirely human.
