About Us

The people of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) are united by a singular mission: ending cancer for life. Our specialized care teams provide personalized, compassionate, expert care to patients of all ages.

Informed by basic research done at our Sloan Kettering Institute, scientists across MSK collaborate to conduct innovative translational and clinical research that is driving a revolution in our understanding of cancer as a disease and improving the ability to prevent, diagnose, and treat it.

Case management is much more than paperwork. You’ll assess patient needs, solve problems, advocate for patients, and work closely with nurses, physicians, social workers, insurance providers, and other partners. While case management experience is preferred, experienced hospital nurses with strong transferable skills are encouraged to apply.

  • Communicate with physicians and clinical nursing staff about ongoing patient care
  • Connect with insurance carriers and MSK billing teams to obtain treatment authorizations and support appeals
  • Follow select patients in the outpatient setting

Key Qualifications

  • Current New York State Registered Nurse license and registration required
  • BSN required
  • At least two to three years of clinical hospital nursing experience
  • Case management, utilization review, or managed-care experience strongly preferred—but not required
