About us:

Cityblock Health is a new type of healthcare company, operating out of Brooklyn and backed by Alphabet’s Sidewalk Labs, along with some of the top healthcare investors in the country.

Our mission is to radically improve the health of urban communities, one block at a time. Importantly, our solutions are designed specifically for Medicaid and lower-income Medicare beneficiaries, and we bring the capability to deliver care in the home and neighborhood with our field-based teams.

In close collaboration with community based organizations and a leading commercial partner, we are reorganizing the health system to focus on what matters to our members. We deliver personalized primary care, behavioral health, and social services through a network of neighborhood hubs with deep community-based partnerships and world-class technology.

We partner with payers and at-risk providers, taking capitated financial risk to care for their most vulnerable, high and rising risk members. Additionally, we invest in strategic partnerships with community-based and social services organizations, in some instances bringing them into the value equation through sub-capitation and performance-based compensation.

Role Overview

Cityblock is seeking an innovative, thoughtful and engaging leader who can build an interdisciplinary team to deliver learning, communication and knowledge experiences that drive performance across a highly distributed organization. 

Learning is an imperative for our business -- our interdisciplinary care model requires an equally interdisciplinary learning model. Our people are not sitting in a static environment, but instead are constantly moving, engaging and working to help our members. We’re looking for someone to help us build a learning function that intertwines with our people’s lives, adding value and minimizing wasted time. Although that means we’re looking for someone with strong digital experience, we also know that the skills we want to teach require in-person engagement. Therefore, the successful candidate will need to balance digital delivery with in-person delivery, finding ways to integrate both modalities into their strategy. 

The team we envision building, would consist of the following functions (though we recognize all of this is subject to change based upon the direction of the leader we eventually hire):

• Market Training & Development -- trainers, devoted to markets, focused on helping to deliver content and work with managers to drive performance
• Operations -- manage the overall operations for a large set of delivery needs
• Content Development -- instructional, graphic and content designers to turn SME input into learning experiences that drive development
• Program Management -- build out a program / learning product management function to manage big pieces of the infrastructure

Cityblock’s future growth will be exponential, not incremental, and so this team will be responsible for building a learning function and learning processes that can scale. Starting while the growth is still incremental, will give the leader a chance to prepare for the exponential. We are making a big investment in this function, and are looking for a leader to take on this unique challenge. 

Our Values:

• Aim for Understanding
• Be All In
• Bring Your Whole Self
• Lean Into Discomfort
• Put Members First

• Deeply understand Cityblock’s culture, distributed workforces, diverse members/consumers and product technology
