About the Team:
The B2B Operations team is responsible for scaling and delivering CookUnity's new business verticals, such as Smart Fridge and Cold Meal programs, across corporate and healthcare environments. The team collaborates closely with B2C operations, product, and customer experience to ensure seamless execution, operational reliability, and scalable systems that support growth.
The Role:
The Healthcare Operations Manager is responsible for the operational performance, quality, and scalability of CookUnity's Medically Tailored Meals (MTM) healthcare programs. This role oversees the daily execution of care coordination operations, ensuring members are successfully onboarded, supported throughout the program, and receiving meals reliably while maintaining compliance with payer and healthcare program requirements.
The Healthcare Operations Manager leads the Care Coordination team and ensures operational workflows-from member intake and eligibility verification to order support and service resolution-are executed accurately and consistently. Because operational accuracy directly impacts healthcare claims and reimbursement, this role also works closely with Finance and Revenue Operations to minimize operational errors that could lead to claim denials or payment delays.
This is a hands-on leadership role focused on operational rigor, accountability, and continuous improvement within a regulated healthcare environment.
