Lead the Future of Care Delivered at Home

At OneHome, we are transforming how care is delivered beyond the hospital bringing together home health, DME, infusion, and community-based care into one integrated experience.

As part of Humana, a national leader in value-based care, this role offers a unique opportunity to operate at the intersection of payer, provider, and home-based care delivery where clinical leadership directly shapes outcomes, cost, and experience at scale.

What Makes This Role Different 
1. Influence Care at Scale

• Impact care decisions for millions of Medicare Advantage members

• Driving bold outcomes (not activity)

• Anticipating future needs (vs reacting)

• Building one team across silos

4. Competitive Rewards & Flexibility

•  Highly competitive executive-level compensation + bonus

•  Remote flexibility with national scope

•  Strong clinical leadership career path within Humana/OneHome

•  Opportunity to shape strategy—not just execute it
