Integration Lead, Partnerships

• Put Patients First
• Empower Entrepreneurial Provider and Care Teams
• Operate with Integrity & Excellence
• Be Innovative
• Work As One Team

What You'll Do

• Build and run the integration management office (IMO) for each transaction: integration charter, governance cadence, workstream structure, decision rights, and escalation paths
• Develop Day 1, Day 100, and 12-month integration plans with clear milestones, owners, dependencies, and critical path; manage transition services agreements (TSAs) through exit
• Own the integration budget and synergy tracker; partner with FP&A to validate synergy assumptions, track realization against targets, and flag variances to leadership
• Run weekly workstream reviews and biweekly executive steering committee meetings; prepare board-level and executive readouts on status, risks, and decisions required
• Participate in pre-close diligence so that the integration thesis, risks, and resource needs are understood before signing, not discovered after

• Provider network and contracting: migration of PCP and specialist agreements, division of financial responsibility (DOFR) alignment, capitation and fee schedule transitions, provider roster reconciliation and credentialing continuity
• Health plan and delegation: transition of delegated functions (UM, credentialing, claims, care management), delegation agreement amendments, health plan notifications, and readiness for delegation oversight audits; regulatory filings with DMHC, CMS, and other state regulators as required
• Finance and claims: claims run-out and system cutover, IBNR and capitation payment handoffs, bank and vendor transitions, entity and intercompany structure changes with Accounting and Legal
• Clinical, quality, and risk adjustment: continuity of HEDIS and Stars reporting, care gap programs, supplemental data submission, risk adjustment documentation workflows, and care management caseloads through the transition
• Technology and data: provider, member, and eligibility data migration; EHR, claims platform, and analytics integration; onboarding to Astrana's provider-facing tools
• People and change management: provider and staff communications, town halls, key-person retention, role mapping, and culture integration with the People team

• Translate signed partnership and management services agreements into implementation plans: service scope, staffing, systems, reporting, and performance targets
• Onboard new IPAs and provider groups onto the Astrana platform, including MSO service standup, data connectivity, quality and risk adjustment program launch, and provider engagement
• Support the build of repeatable market-entry and affiliation playbooks so that each new partnership launches faster and cleaner than the last

• Develop and maintain Astrana's integration and implementation playbook: standard workplans, checklists, templates, KPIs, and lessons-learned reviews
• Identify where integration repeatedly stalls and fix the underlying process, tooling, or ownership gap

• Present to and take direction from C-level executives; translate executive intent into workstream-level action
• Produce your own work product: financial models, data reconciliations, process maps, communication drafts, and status materials
• Other duties as assigned
