As Senior Manager, Analytics & Workforce Management (WFM), you’ll serve as the analytical and operational backbone for Core Operations – enabling data-driven decision-making, optimized workforce performance, and accountability across a 400+ omni-channel Patient Care Coordinator (PCC) organization.

Reporting directly to the Director of Core Operations, you’ll lead the design and execution of performance analytics, workforce planning, and reporting frameworks that drive Talkiatry’s operational excellence goals. Your team will play a critical role in ensuring our PCCs and frontline operations deliver consistent, high-quality support at scale, meeting performance and efficiency targets across Core Ops.

Talkiatry is transforming mental health care by making high-quality psychiatry more accessible, human, and sustainable for both patients and clinicians. Co-founded by a patient and a triple-board-certified psychiatrist, we were built to solve one of healthcare’s most urgent challenges: millions of people struggle to access mental health care, while clinicians face growing administrative burden and burnout. Through our technology-powered, in-network platform, we’re changing that, creating a better experience for patients and empowering clinicians to focus on delivering exceptional care.

Today, Talkiatry is the largest dedicated psychiatry practice in the U.S., with 750+ psychiatrists, 250+ therapists, and more than two million patient visits delivered nationwide. At our scale, every innovation has real impact. Every workflow we improve, every technology solution we build, and every patient experience we redesign helps thousands of clinicians provide better care to hundreds of thousands of patients. We’re not just growing quickly — we’re redefining how behavioral healthcare is delivered in America.
