American Medical Response operates one of the largest medical transportation networks in the US, with 10,001+ employees delivering 911 emergency response, interfacility transport, air ambulance, and disaster services. Hiring velocity is accelerating across 278 open roles, with 88% concentrated in healthcare and operations — reflecting operational scaling pressure. The tech stack is lean (Office, Kronos, AWS Systems Manager, CAD) and the active project mix targets familiar friction points: staffing/scheduling optimization, ambulance downtime reduction, and critical care unit expansion.
Notable leadership hires: EMS Lead Instructor, Regional Director, Operations Director, Director of Operations

AMR handles 911 emergency response, basic and advanced life support transports, interfacility movement, air ambulance services, event medical coverage, and federal disaster response — primarily across the United States.
