ABOUT THE ROLE
As Director of Agent Operations, you’ll build and lead the team that deploys AI agents to handle complex healthcare workflows. Working across customers, technology, and operations, you’ll own delivery from discovery through launch, and continuously expand what agents can handle in production.
This function directly shapes Valerie’s growth and operating leverage. Faster, higher-quality implementations shorten time to value; reliable production workflows support retention and expansion; and greater workflow coverage allows us to serve more customers efficiently. You’ll set priorities, build and lead a high-performing team, and create a repeatable way to scope, build, launch, and improve complex customer-specific implementations—even when the underlying workflows are bespoke.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
- Build and lead the team. Hire exceptional talent, coach people through complex work, and build the structure and standards to support a growing function. - Translate customer needs into reliable AI agents. Lead workflow discovery, define agent behavior, and align customers on scope, timelines, and tradeoffs. - Own agent delivery. Guide the team through workflow design, code development, testing, and troubleshooting. Set a high bar for reliability and determine where Engineering support is needed. - Expand automation after launch. Use performance data to identify where agents fall short, prioritize improvements, and reduce manual work while protecting quality and customer trust. - Drive cross-functional execution. Align Engineering, Product, Customer Strategy, and Operations on priorities, resolve dependencies, and move quickly from decisions to results. - Make implementation and automation repeatable. Turn lessons from launches and ongoing optimization into reusable workflows, tests, tools, and practices that help the team deliver faster and improve agents consistently.
