About the company

At Covera, we're committed to ensuring high-quality healthcare is more than just a promise. That's why we're leading the way in the emerging science of quality, and connecting providers and payers in their shared quest to improve patient outcomes and care quality. By tackling this challenge, we have the ability to impact millions of lives by raising the standard of care nationwide.

Our initial focus is radiology, where an early and accurate diagnosis has a profound impact on the rest of a patient's care journey. Through our work, which uses clinically-validated science-based tools, we're helping doctors enhance their care, ensuring patients get the right diagnosis, and enabling the healthcare system to support quality improvement at scale.

Through our clinical intelligence platform, we have launched programs that help people access the most effective care and provide doctors with AI-powered quality insights and tools to enhance their care. Today, Covera is partnered with leading employers, payers and healthcare organizations across the US, including Walmart and Microsoft. And, with a pipeline representing over 25% of insured Americans, we are in the early stages of improving care quality for all patients across the globe.

About the role

The Chief Clinical Officer (CCO) will serve as Covera’s senior clinical leader, positioned at the intersection of clinical practice, payer and employer quality programs, and AI product validation. The CCO will ensure the integrity, consistency, and impact of Covera’s flagship initiatives, including Guide and Match, the Radiology Centers of Excellence program, and Protect AI, the company’s AI oversight and quality assurance platform. This leader will oversee clinical standards and validation of AI findings, guide radiologist partners who review and provide feedback on diagnostic quality, and ensure that Covera’s programs deliver measurable value across patients, providers, health plans, employers, and government payers. The CCO will also represent Covera’s clinical leadership externally, reinforcing the company’s position as the trusted partner in advancing diagnostic quality through AI-enabled innovation.

In this role, you will be expected to:

Clinical Program Leadership (Guide and Match & Protect AI)

  • Provide clinical governance for Guide and Match, ensuring participating practices consistently deliver high-quality diagnostic care.
  • Lead clinical oversight for Protect AI, ensuring AI tools and workflows operate under rigorous quality and safety standards.
  • Develop and oversee reporting frameworks that measure and communicate quality outcomes at both the practice level and across networks.
  • Continuously update clinical guidelines and quality standards to reflect emerging best practices, ensuring continuous improvement across both programs.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Represent the clinical perspective in collaboration with product, AI, and operations leaders, influencing roadmap and program design.
  • Work closely with payer and employer partners, ensuring quality measures are aligned with their needs across government, health plan, and employer programs.

Requirements:

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
