OUR MISSION
We exist to create a more connected, compassionate, and confident experience for people with cancer and those who care for them. We make it easier to get answers, access high-quality care quickly, and feel supported throughout treatment and beyond.
Today, Thyme Care is a market-leading value-based oncology care enabler, partnering with national and regional health plans, providers, and employers to deliver better outcomes and lower costs for thousands of people across the country. Our model combines high-touch human support with powerful technology and AI to bring together everyone involved in a person’s cancer journey: caregivers, oncologists, health plans, and employers.
As a tech-native organization, we believe technology should strengthen the human connection at the center of care. Through data science, automation, and AI, we simplify complexity, improve collaboration, and help care teams focus on what matters most: supporting people through cancer.
Looking ahead, our vision is bold: to become a household name in cancer care, where every person diagnosed asks for Thyme Care by name. If you’re inspired to make cancer care more human and to help reimagine what’s possible, we’d love to meet you. Together, we can build a future where every person with cancer feels truly cared for, in every moment that matters.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
As an Oncology Nurse Team Lead, you will oversee and manage one or more of our frontline nurse teams, ensuring their ability to deliver the highest standards of clinical care and operational efficiency as they advocate, coach, and provide members with clinical guidance throughout their care journey. Reporting to the Nurse Manager, you will manage clinical escalations, provide ongoing training, coaching, and mentoring to your teams, drive the productivity and performance of your team, and foster cross-team collaboration. This role is pivotal in driving individual and team performance, identifying opportunities for quality improvement initiatives and enhancing Thyme Care’s service offerings by effectively communicating feedback to our clinical leadership from members, providers, and your teams.
To excel in this role, you must demonstrate strong leadership and mentorship capabilities, with a proven track record of managing hourly staff and high-performing nurse teams. You are a proactive problem solver who views challenges as opportunities for growth and is committed to continuous improvement. Experience in healthcare, particularly in oncology, as a nurse navigator or case manager is essential. Knowledge and an understanding of provider and health plan operations are also beneficial.
After your first three months, you will:
•
Have completed Nurse training and demonstrated competencies in a Nurse role.
•
Know our Care Team policies and procedures, escalation pathways, communications best practices, and documentation standards backward and forward, and actively share ideas on improving them.
•
Be on the path to becoming an expert on our Thyme Care systems, tools, technology, partners, and expectations.
•
Directly manage and serve as an escalation point to a team of Oncology Nurses, including but not limited to escalated member or caregiver interactions and process-related questions or issues.
•
Have built strong, trusting relationships with your team and leadership, where listening and empathy are the foundation for every interaction.
•
Lead team meetings such as weekly team huddles to drive queue management, prioritization, and performance, and ultimately establish targeted support plans.
•
Act as an air traffic controller by monitoring assignments and ensuring queues are effectively and efficiently managed.
•
Understand the performance of your direct team members, both quality and productivity and address issues and challenges through coaching, mentorship, and performance improvement plans.
•
Understand the skills, qualities, and experience that set a candidate up for success and participate in the oncology nurse interview loop.
•
Support our nurses in identifying and prioritizing member needs and assisting them with care coordination and clinical support such as symptom management, nutritional support, discharge coordination, connecting members to high-quality providers, and preventing readmissions.
•
Provide clinical expertise in medical, behavioral, and crisis management.
•
Provide support on building and maintaining resources, optimizing schedules, and contributing to updating staffing requirements, project initiatives, and policies and procedures.
•
Provide support in conducting root-cause analyses to identify knowledge, data, or procedure gaps.
•
Drive engagement and promote the Thyme Care vision and strategy.
•
Be available for urgent clinical escalations and clinical consult support.
•
Provide Nurse overflow, holiday, and on-call coverage support as needed.
•
Develop strategies to promote culturally competent care and close the health literacy gap.
WHAT LEADS TO SUCCESS
*People-first. Thyme Care’s mission and members matter to you deeply.
A BSN. You must have a Degree in Nursing (ADN or BSN preferred), a multi-state, unrestricted Registered Nurse (RN) compact license, and a willingness to obtain additional state licenses, as needed.*Experience. You have at least 8 years of nursing experience, with 2 years as a people manager in oncology and/or case management. Additionally, you are certified as an Oncology Certified Nurse (OCN), Advanced Oncology Certified Nurse (AOCN), Advanced Oncology Certified Nurse Specialist (AOCNS), or Certified Case Manager (CCM).
Team player. You’re a strong collaborator who understands what it’s like to lead a team in a growing and evolving environment. You’ll ensure your team meets and exceeds the standards set while collaborating with the rest of the organization.
Effective listener and communicator. You are winsome and articulate, but you always start with listening and hearing what may not be voiced because you listen intently to others. You build rapport and excellent working relationships with your team, leadership, and stakeholders.
Comfort with ambiguity. You have a proven track record of success within scaling businesses, fast-paced environments, and startups. You understand that rapid changes to the business, strategy, organization, and priorities is par for the course… and part of the adventure.
Coach. You know your team’s strengths and what motivates them, and you strive to keep morale high while constantly challenging them to beat their best and never lose sight of the goal.
Grit. You’re never afraid to get your hands dirty, but you can also take a step back and connect the company’s strategy to your team’s performance and execution.
A desire to learn how to use new technologies. We are a technology company focused on interacting with folks during the season when they need it most. Experience with video chatting, Google Suite, Slack, electronic health records or comfort in learning new technology is essential.
Identify priorities and take action. You know how to identify and prioritize your team’s needs and do what it takes to address urgent and essential needs immediately.
