What are the responsibilities and job description for the Chief of Staff to the CEO - Genesis Orthopedics & Sports Medicine position at Genesis Orthopedics & Sports Medicine?
About Us
Genesis isn't another clinic—we're frontline workers in the fight for health equity. As one of Chicago's fastest-growing orthopedic practices, we deliver world-class musculoskeletal care to Medicaid patients others typically ignore. Our model? Pair surgeon-level precision with population health strategy to close the care gap. Now, we're scaling.
The Role
As Chief of Staff, you'll be the CEO's right hand and the operational engine behind our rebellion against healthcare inequity. This isn't admin work—it's a startup-within-a-startup role where you'll tear down systemic barriers to care while driving 10x growth.
What You'll Do
A Medicaid Maverick: MBA from Booth, Kellogg, HBS (or equivalent) with healthcare focus.
Resourceful: Built a pop-up clinic in a food desert? Negotiated a risk-sharing model with a skeptical payer? The best candidates CV should seem like a MacGyver episode set in healthcare.
Hungry for Impact: Equity isn't a buzzword—it's why you get up. You'll trade cushy corporate perks for the chance to add 1 million Medicaid lives to our patient roster.

- Exceptional ability to synthesize data, spot opportunities, and turn insights into scalable strategies.
