ECP launched as an internal start-up in 2020 with a wholly owned Medicare Shared Savings Program (MSSP) Accountable Care Organization (ACO) spanning four states. In 2024, ECP spans 10 states and is accountable for over $1B in medical expenses via risk-based relationships with payers and primary care providers in MSSP, Medicare Advantage, and Commercial products. In 2023, the most recent year of data available, ECP generated over $64M of savings for Medicare in the Shared Savings Program.

The Managing Director will report to the SVP Primary Care / President of Evolent Care Partners and will play a key leadership role in both the strategy and operational aspects of ECP.

This leader will own ECP’s overall strategic planning efforts, as well as oversee several ECP functions core to clinical, quality, and financial outcomes. The leader will partner across cross-functional leaders within Evolent and ECP to develop a multi-year strategic roadmap for ECP, including plans for in-market growth and performance optimization. ECP’s overall strategic roadmap will include a plan for growth to new markets, geographies, and/or products, and will be developed in close collaboration with the ECP Growth and Business Development teams. The strategic plan will also include a comprehensive plan for optimizing performance across Medicare and Commercial contracts, including plans related to medical expense management, quality improvement, appropriate risk adjustment, and patient and provider engagement. Members of the ECP leadership team in clinical, performance, finance, policy and network will be close collaborators and contributors to the overall strategic plan development and implementation.

The MD will develop clinical and performance improvement strategies based on clinical guidelines, best practices, and provider input. Implementation of quality programs and interface with provider and payor partners will be done in close collaboration with ECP’s Clinical, Performance and Network teams. Additionally, the MD will oversee ECP’s Risk Adjustment program, with responsibility for developing our analytic and operational strategies that ensure ECP’s risk profile appropriately matches the complexity of the patients we serve.
