About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Own the end-to-end patient engagement and retention strategy across the full lifecycle — from initial onboarding and early activation through sustained program participation and graduation.
Develop and manage a Patient Lifecycle Model that enables segment-level targeting, behavioral nudges, and lifecycle-stage interventions tailored to the unique needs of chronically ill populations.
Define, track, and report on core retention KPIs including enrollment conversion, 30/60/90-day retention rates, program completion, session attendance, disenrollment drivers, NPS, and patient-reported outcomes.
Build and iterate on proactive outreach programs and re-engagement campaigns to identify at-risk patients early and intervene before disengagement or disenrollment.
Partner closely with clinical teams — nurse practitioners, respiratory therapists, exercise physiologists, and care managers — to embed engagement best practices into daily care workflows and touchpoints.
Collaborate with Product and Engineering to shape patient-facing features, communication tools, and platform improvements that drive habitual engagement and reduce friction.
Work with the Growth and Partnerships team to align acquisition messaging with realistic program expectations, improving the quality of incoming referrals and reducing early-stage attrition.
Coordinate with Finance and Analytics to quantify the revenue impact of retention improvements and build data-informed business cases for new initiatives.
Establish a rigorous measurement framework for engagement and retention, moving beyond vanity metrics to actionable insights that influence clinical and operational decisions.
Conduct root-cause analysis of patient churn through data mining, patient surveys, exit interviews, and clinician feedback — translating findings into concrete process improvements.
Design and run A/B tests, cohort analyses, and pilot programs to validate engagement hypotheses before scaling.
Build, mentor, and lead a high-performing engagement and retention team as the organization scales, including specialists in patient outreach, lifecycle marketing, and engagement analytics.
Champion a patient-obsessed culture across the organization, ensuring that the voice of the patient informs every strategic and tactical decision.
Report directly to executive leadership, providing clear visibility into engagement health and strategic recommendations at the board level.
