The Outpatient Management Lead is accountable for shaping and scaling the company’s outpatient/ambulatory value proposition across countries. The role drives a structured approach to identify and implement opportunities to shift suitable procedures and patient pathways to outpatient settings—combining clinical pathway design, operational excellence, and economic value case development. In close collaboration with country teams and cross-functional partners (medical, marketing, analytics, finance, operations, legal/compliance), the role co-creates solutions with customers and develops a scalable value proposition to enable adoption at scale.

Key Responsibilities

• Own and evolve the outpatient management value proposition and modular clinical/operating models that countries can adapt.
• Translate strategy into practical playbooks (model selection, prerequisites, implementation steps, success metrics).
• Capture country learnings and continuously improve models, tools, and templates.
• Identify and size outpatient opportunities across countries and priority procedure areas.
• Run a standardized intake and prioritization across countries, target sites, and partnership objectives.
• Maintain a simple pipeline view (value, effort, timing) and support decision-making on where to invest.
• Align countries and cross-functional partners on opportunity hypotheses, data needs, and next steps.
• Partner with country leaders to select target sites and co-create pathway changes; support scale-up across accounts.
• Define outcome measures and build pragmatic economic value cases to steer delivery and demonstrate impact.
• Create evidence packages and case studies to support credibility and scaling.
• Package the offer and enable countries (tools, talk tracks, coaching) to drive adoption and pipeline initiatives.
