The Opportunity

Are you someone who thrives in motion — who sees a shifting landscape as an invitation, not an obstacle? Praxis Health is building the future of primary care, and we need a leader ready to build it with us.

This is not a role for someone who wants to maintain; it’s for someone who wants to transform. You’ll drive the transition to value-based care, lead a diverse team of clinic managers and providers, and create care experiences that patients remember for all the right reasons.

You’ll have real authority and real accountability: full P\&L ownership, a seat at the strategic table, and the autonomy to design regional initiatives that move the needle.
