As Chief of Staff, you will be a central participant in Pearl Health’s most important decisions and a trusted partner to the CEO and Management team, shaping priorities, driving execution, and translating strategy into action.

Backed by world-class investors and tackling one of healthcare’s hardest problems, Pearl offers a unique chance to help build something meaningful and to learn how a company is truly led.

Who We Are

Pearl Health is dedicated to empowering primary care providers, health systems, and physician-led networks to succeed in the shift to value-based care. Our platform delivers the technology, financial tools, and expert services that enable practices to provide more proactive, effective care to their Medicare patients, ultimately lowering costs and improving health outcomes.

Founded in 2020, we are a team of healthcare and technology innovators backed by premier investors like Andreessen Horowitz, Viking Global Investors, and AlleyCorp. We partner with thousands of providers across 44 states to build a more sustainable future for American healthcare.

• Own the end-to-end development of Board and investor materials, coordinating leadership inputs and synthesizing them into a clear, compelling narrative
• Design and run leadership offsites and key in-person moments to ensure time together drives alignment, decisions, and momentum
• Operate as a hands-on leader, stepping in to solve problems, unblock teams, and drive execution where needed

What You’ll Bring

• 4+ years of experience in a high-intensity environment such as top management consulting (MBB), investment banking, private equity, venture-backed technology companies, or similar
• Bachelor’s degree required; MBA or other advanced degree a plus
