Who we are…

Pearl Health is powering the future of healthcare. We help primary care providers and organizations deliver quality healthcare to the patients who need it most, when they need it most — and get rewarded for keeping patients healthy.

Our technology, services, and financial tools enable better, more proactive care, decrease total cost of care across patient panels, and optimize performance in value-based care models for Traditional Medicare and Medicare Advantage.

We are a team of physicians and public health experts (Stanford, Harvard, Mount Sinai), technologists (athenahealth, Amazon, Meta, Flatiron), healthcare innovators (Centivo, Aledade, Stellar, Arcadia), and experienced risk management professionals (CVS/Aetna, Humana, Oscar) who believe that primary care providers are the key to addressing our healthcare system’s biggest challenges.

Since its founding in 2020, Pearl has expanded to partner with thousands of primary care providers in practices and organizations across 44 states. Our investors include Andreessen Horowitz, Viking Global Investors, AlleyCorp, Ulysses, and SV Angel.

The role…

We’re looking for a high-impact, versatile operator—a true Startup Ninja—to join our team. This role is tailor-made for someone who thrives in ambiguity, loves solving hard problems, and can seamlessly jump into different teams to lead mission-critical projects. Reporting directly to the CEO, you’ll be deployed across the company to tackle our most pressing opportunities and challenges. Think of it as being the startup version of special ops.

The right individual for this role will be a strong strategic thinker with the innate ability to be proactive, adaptable, flexible, and collaborative. They will be an exceptional operator who thrives in a fast-paced environment with complex challenges and shifting priorities and able to execute at high and entrepreneurial levels.

This is an amazing opportunity for the right individual, providing:

  • High visibility: Work directly with the CEO and leadership

  • Massive impact: You’ll help shape the trajectory of the company

  • Variety: Every few months, you’ll likely be tackling something completely new

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead high-priority initiatives across departments (product, operations, GTM, etc.), driving them from conception through completion with minimal supervision

  • Work closely with the CEO and senior executive team to identify areas of highest leverage

  • Rapidly assess situations, build plans, and execute with speed and precision

  • Adapt quickly to evolving information and prioritization, while maintaining focus on key deliverables

  • Manage complex timelines, deliverables, and stakeholder coordination

  • Be the connective tissue between teams, ensuring alignment and momentum

  • Roll up your sleeves—whether it’s crunching numbers, building decks, wrangling partners, or launching pilots

Qualifications

Experience & Education

  • 6+ years in a senior operating role at a top-tier consulting firm, fast-paced technology company, venture-backed startup, or comparable high-intensity organization

  • Bachelor's degree from top-tier school required

  • Advanced degree in business, healthcare administration, or related field is a plus – though equivalent work experience equally valued

  • Background in healthcare operations or value-based care preferable

Skills & Attributes

  • Adept at creating and maintaining operational excellence through strategy development and process excellence to improve team performance

  • Roll-up-the-sleeves approach with strong executive presence and analytical rigor

  • Experience managing complex projects with multiple stakeholders

  • Demonstrated ability to quickly master new concepts and systems

  • Highly organized and detail-oriented, able to handle multiple deadlines, projects, and stakeholders

  • Outstanding communications skills in both written and spoken English

  • High emotional intelligence and comfort in engaging with team members and business leaders

View company profile

At Pearl Health, we're on a mission to bring humanism back to healthcare. We believe that primary care providers (PCPs) are the cornerstone of America's health, and we're dedicated to empowering them. The healthcare system has often burdened physicians with excessive processes, distancing them from their core strength: caring for patients. We aim to change that by giving physicians greater autonomy, aligning incentives with improved patient outcomes, and providing actionable intelligence to enhance clinical decision-making. We're putting physicians back in control, enabling them to manage their patients' care, their schedules, and their finances more effectively.

We are a passionate team of physicians, technologists, and health plan leaders who recognize the critical role of PCPs, especially highlighted during the pandemic, and the under-resourced nature of their practices. Our approach involves partnering with primary care practices across the country, offering them the data-driven software and consultative services they need to optimize the quality of care for their patients. We started with Traditional Medicare, as it represents the largest undisrupted healthcare market in the U.S., and we leverage models like ACO REACH to help primary care practices thrive. Our technology platform is designed to be customizable to the unique needs of each practice, specifically for success in value-based care models. We provide stable payments to offer peace of mind and revenue stability, and participating providers can earn additional revenue through the successful management of their patient population. By integrating with technology and focusing on proactive care, we help reduce overall healthcare costs and improve performance in value-based arrangements. We're committed to democratizing access to value in healthcare and restoring the independence and joy of practicing medicine for doctors nationwide.
