Chief Clinical Operations Officer

About Nox Health

Simply put, we believe in the power of sleep.


As sleep health champions, we want more and more people to wake up to a brighter day every day. And, we are making daily progress, as we help more organizations see sleep as transformational and a foundational pillar of health. We strive to give more access to the technology and care they need to lead fuller lives.


Our depth of knowledge in the science of sleep gives us a unique perspective on sleep as a critical intervention strategy in chronic disease. We help people see the right problem and the right way forward, elevating not just our solutions but also advancing the field of sleep medicine.


Our vision is to work with our partners — employers, health systems, health plans, government agencies, provider groups and others committed to transforming care — to expand sleep health care to where it is needed, so it can take its rightful place in the healthcare ecosystem.


About the role

The Chief Clinical Operations Officer (CCOO) is the senior operating partner to the Chief Medical Officer (CMO), accountable for enabling high-performing, scalable execution across Nox Health’s clinical operations, including Sleep Care Management (SCM) and FusionSleep. This leader ensures the operating system, infrastructure, and cross-functional execution required for growth, margin expansion, and regulatory readiness, while empowering the SVP and VP leaders who directly run day-to-day operations within their domains.

The CCOO owns enterprise operational performance management and readiness across Care Management, Fee-for-Service Clinics, Revenue Cycle Management (RCM), and Durable Medical Equipment (DME) operations, and ensures operational priorities are resourced, measurable, and delivered through strong leader enablement and accountability.

All efficiency and margin initiatives must protect clinical quality, patient safety, and member experience. Efficiency is never pursued at the expense of patient care.
