Do you love meeting new people, working in a fast-paced environment, and building something new from the ground up? We are seeking a highly capable, self-directed individual with strong leadership and managerial capabilities to oversee CIC Health’s Implementation Team. This is a great opportunity for someone who is excited about taking on a new challenge, making an impact in the fight against COVID-19, and managing relationships with potential partners and clients.  

While it’s not expected that you will know our business at the outset or have aptitude in all the areas included below, we do expect you to grasp new concepts quickly, work well with people, and bring an attitude of focused dedication to ensure the operational success of CIC Health. 

CIC Health is a subsidiary of CIC working on assurance testing. This initiative was created at the onset of COVID-19 as an effort to keep clients safe at CIC. Since then, our mission has grown to provide easily accessible and affordable testing to those who are interested in participating. Our responsibility to our clients and community include delivery of reliable COVID-19 testing. This could include coordinating the logistics around testing, physically mailing kits, or simply brokering a relationship between the client and other partners. The work is highly variable and changes as the pandemic continues.
