The Remote Manager, Delegate Performance is a key leadership role within Alignment Healthcare’s evolving Delegate Oversight organization, responsible for translating oversight results into actionable performance management strategies for delegated entities. Reporting to the Director of Delegate Oversight, this role supports the trans-formation of the function from a historically compliance-focused model to a proactive performance management and improvement partner.
This role serves as the primary owner of ongoing performance assessment, analysis, and dialogue with dele-gated partners, leveraging inputs from audits, monitoring activities, scorecards, and operational results across claims, clinical (UM/CM/CCM), appeals, and credentialing. The Manager is responsible for synthesizing these inputs into a holistic performance narrative, identifying trends, risks, and opportunities, and driving structured performance discussions with delegates.
The Manager partners closely with internal audit, clinical, quality, compliance, and operational teams to ensure findings are operationalized into meaningful performance expectations, corrective actions, and sustained improvement. This role requires strong communication and analytical skills, operational understanding of delegated functions, and the ability to influence provider organizations through data-driven insights and collaborative performance management.

Job Duties/Responsibilities:

Delegate Performance Management & Analysis

• Own the end-to-end performance management process for assigned delegated entities, synthesizing audit results, monitoring outputs, scorecards, and operational data into a comprehensive view of delegate performance.
• Translate compliance and operational findings into actionable performance insights, clearly articulating root causes, risk implications, and improvement opportunities across claims, UM, CM/CCM, appeals, and credentialing.
• Conduct ongoing trend analysis to identify emerging performance risks, patterns, or improvement opportunities beyond discrete audit cycles.
• Develop and maintain delegate-specific performance profiles that integrate clinical, operational, and compliance dimensions.

Performance Engagement & Accountability

• Lead routine and ad hoc performance discussions with delegated partners, ensuring clear communication of expectations, performance gaps, and progress against improvement plans.
• Partner with delegates to define performance improvement actions, milestones, and success measures informed by audit and monitoring outputs.
• Monitor delegate progress against agreed-upon action plans, escalating sustained or systemic performance concerns to the Director of Delegate Oversight as appropriate.
• Serve as a consistent point of contact for delegates on performance-related matters, reinforcing accountability while fostering collaborative improvement.

Cross-Functional Collaboration & Integration

• Partner closely with DO Audit, Compliance, Clinical, Quality, and Operational teams to ensure alignment between oversight findings and performance management strategies.
• Ensure audit results and monitoring outputs are effectively operationalized and not treated as standalone compliance artifacts.
• Support enterprise initiatives related to delegated performance, including regulatory readiness, value-based care objectives, and clinical quality improvement efforts.

Reporting, Insights & Continuous Improvement

• Prepare clear, concise performance summaries and presentations for leadership, translating complex data into actionable insights.
• Contribute to the evolution of performance scorecards, metrics, and reporting tools to support a more proactive, forward-looking oversight model.
