We’re building a world of health around every individual — shaping a more connected, convenient and compassionate health experience. At CVS Health®, you’ll be surrounded by passionate colleagues who care deeply, innovate with purpose, hold ourselves accountable and prioritize safety and quality in everything we do. Join us and be part of something bigger – helping to simplify health care one person, one family and one community at a time.
Position Summary
Oak Street Health®, a part of CVS Health, helps older adults stay healthier and live fuller lives through our 230 centers across 27 states. Our value-based care model helps us consistently deliver better patient experiences and outcomes.
As a Lead Director of Population Health defines the clinical program requirements, workflow intent, and success criteria that drive technology enablement for complex care coordination programs directly impacting high-risk patient outcomes.
This role is the connective tissue between what clinical leadership needs and what our systems can deliver. You will work with each program owner — care management, acute escalations, supportive care, and others — to shape the right requirements, bring an informed perspective on the right Epic and non-Epic solutions, document workflows, and define how success is measured. You will partner closely with Informatics and other key stakeholders, moving fluidly between operations, technology, and data. This role owns the what and why; our technical partners own the how.
Clinical Program Design & Enablement:
Own definition of clinical requirements for key OSH initiatives keeping patients healthy and out of the hospital, and partner with Informatics and Product from design through go-live and ongoing optimization.
Develop prioritized clinical requirements and use cases to inform Epic and non-Epic technology roadmaps, in partnership with Informatics and Product. Translate clinical program logic and workflows — clinical assessments, MLR thresholds, SDOH screeners, etc. — into clear, actionable requirements for technical partners.
Drive the clinical-operations side of complex, multi-team launches. Validate that delivered features meet clinical and workflow requirements (clinical acceptance/UAT), surface issues with technical partners, and ensure nothing falls through the cracks.
Measuring Success:
Develop frameworks to measure program success in consistent, scalable ways across a wide range of stakeholders and across programs serving different patient needs
Translate plain-language metrics into clear metric specifications for technology and data science counterparts
Monitor program performance data, flag anomalies proactively, and partner with Analytics to investigate and resolve issues quickly
Leadership & Cross-Functional Partnership
Represent Population Health in cross-functional forums; serve as a trusted thought partner to field leadership, Informatics, Product, Engineering, and operational teams
Lead, develop, and retain a high-performing team — giving direct reports real accountability, recognizing wins specifically and publicly, and investing in their growth
Develop and maintain executive-ready briefings, strategy docs, and slide content, often from scratch and under time pressure
Proactively identify gaps between strategic priorities and current-state capabilities; surface risks early with recommended paths forward
Required Qualifications
10-15 years in healthcare program management, population health, or care delivery operations, with demonstrated ownership of complex, multi-stakeholder programs
Deep working fluency with EHR systems (Epic strongly preferred) — enough to translate clinical needs into feasible, buildable requirements, assess technical tradeoffs, and partner credibly with build teams. Direct build/configuration experience is a plus, not a requirement
Demonstrated ability to earn trust and influence technical and build teams as a non-owning partner — moving priorities through credibility and shared wins rather than authority
Clinical + operational bilingualism: comfortable with clinical program design logic and technical systems (Epic, patient segmentation data, data warehousing concepts)
Exceptional written communication: able to produce executive-level materials that are clear, structured, and audience-appropriate
Proven ability to drive the clinical-operations workstream of high-stakes go-lives across matrixed teams without losing detail or momentum
Strong analytical instincts: can read data, identify what's off, and know who to loop in and how fast
People leadership experience with a track record of developing early-career talent
High bias toward action; thrives in ambiguity
Ability to flag risk clearly and early, including to senior leadership, without over-alarming or under-communicating
Education
Bachelor's degree required
Graduate degree preferred but not required (MBA, MPH)

Tips for Your Remote Design Director Job Search
Show async leadership in your portfolio
Remote design director interviews focus on how you lead without being in the room. Add case studies that document how you ran design critiques, aligned stakeholders, and moved decisions forward through written briefs and recorded walkthroughs rather than live meetings.
Apply early to remote roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists remote design director openings from across the U.S. in one place, so you can find roles that match your seniority and sector and apply directly without sorting through hybrid or in-office listings.
Demonstrate fluency with remote design tools
Call out your working proficiency with Figma, FigJam, and async documentation tools like Notion or Confluence directly in your resume and cover letter. Remote employers screen for this before the first call because design directors who need tooling ramp-up slow distributed teams down.
Frame your remote experience explicitly
If you've led design teams or projects across time zones, say so directly. Remote hiring managers don't infer remote readiness from general experience, so name the distributed context, the team size, and how you kept design quality consistent without daily in-person contact.
Remote Design Director Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote design director job?
Target remote-first companies and distributed product teams, which hire design directors without a physical office requirement and screen hard for self-direction. Remote employers prioritize strong written communication, async collaboration tools like Figma and Notion, and the ability to lead design systems and creative reviews without in-person oversight. A portfolio that documents your decision-making process, not just final outputs, gives you a clear edge.
Which companies hire remote design directors?
Remote design director roles are posted by WSP, Hook, and UNFI and others right now, based on current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. The bulk of remote openings come from remote-first software companies, distributed digital agencies, and consumer technology teams that run design operations across multiple time zones.
Can you get a remote design director job with no experience?
Yes, but remote design director roles at the entry level are harder to land because you're expected to lead and unblock your team without in-person support. Remote-first startups and early-stage digital products are the most likely to hire directors with a strong portfolio and demonstrated leadership over contract or freelance projects. Showing you can run async design reviews and communicate decisions clearly in writing substitutes for years of experience in many cases.
Do you need a degree for remote design director jobs?
Not always. Remote employers hiring design directors weigh portfolio quality, demonstrated leadership of design systems, and the ability to drive product outcomes over formal credentials. A degree in design, HCI, or a related field helps with some hiring teams, but remote-first companies in particular tend to evaluate candidates on work and results rather than academic background.
Which industries hire the most remote design directors?
Remote design director roles concentrate in Technology & Software, Consulting & Professional Services, and Healthcare & Medical Services, based on current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Those sectors hire design directors remotely because their products are built and shipped by distributed teams that need design leadership coordinated across locations rather than anchored to one office.
