Senior Manager, Learning & Development

Who We Are 

Evergreen Nephrology partners with nephrologists to transform kidney care through a value-based, person-centered, holistic, and comprehensive approach to kidney care. We believe patients living with kidney disease deserve the best care. We are committed to improving patient outcomes and improving quality of life by delaying disease progression, shifting care to the home, and accelerating kidney transplants. 

We help nephrologists focus on the right patients at the right time across the full care spectrum. We do this by providing them with the best-in-class interdisciplinary clinical resources, analytical insight and tools, and services to patients. We listen to the needs of our patients, our employees, and our client partners, continually working to push beyond the status quo in which the care system manages patients today. 

Who You Are 

You are a pragmatic, hands-on learning leader who believes learning should directly enable business performance - not exist as a standalone function. You thrive in lean environments where you are responsible for both defining direction and delivering outcomes. You are comfortable operating as a senior individual contributor, partnering closely with leaders across the organization, and building solutions from the ground up. While you may not have a clinical background, you are comfortable working with and delivering training to clinical teams. You are energized by translating ambiguity into practical, scalable approaches that help teams perform at a high level, especially in operational and clinical settings. 

Your Role 

As Senior Manager, Learning & Development, you will serve as Evergreen’s primary learning leader and builder, owning the design and delivery of our most business-critical learning priorities. Reporting to the SVP of People, this role is focused on enabling execution, ensuring teams can perform effectively in their roles. You will partner closely with Clinical Operations and Technology, lead onboarding, strengthen manager capability, and build clear development pathways for employees.

This is a highly hands-on, cross-functional role. You will personally design and deliver Evergreen’s highest-impact programs, leveraging partners and lightweight tools to scale your work. This role is best suited for a builder who is comfortable owning strategy and execution end-to-end without a large team. Evergreen has ~200 employees today. You should be comfortable operating at this stage and pace.
