Engineering Jobs in Beech Grove, IN

Director of Operations

COMPANY BACKGROUND

Never Alone is a healthcare technology company transforming care delivery for seniors and post-acute populations through always-on telehealth and care solutions. The company provides 24/7/365 access to licensed clinical professionals via a secure, purpose-built platform designed for senior living communities, seniors at home, skilled nursing facilities, home health agencies, hospice providers, and other care organizations.

By combining simple, easy-to-use technology with immediate access to medical expertise, Never Alone helps care teams make timely decisions, reduce unnecessary hospital transfers, and improve resident outcomes. Never Alone supports “treat-in-place” care, strengthens staff confidence, and enhances peace of mind for residents and families.

JOB SUMMARY

The Director of Operations is responsible for standardizing and executing the end-to-end process for operationalizing all closed sales across Never Alone's diverse service lines.
