Fractional Chief Medical Officer

About Daybreak
Daybreak Health ( http://www.daybreakhealth.com/ ) is creating a world where every young person benefits from mental health support. We provide evidence-based virtual and in-person therapy to children and youth ages 6-19. We partner with public school districts and health insurance companies to provide free, accessible mental health care to all families - we believe that every child should have access to mental health support as a fundamental part of their education.
We're a YC-backed company that raised its Seed from Maven Ventures, Series A from Lightspeed Ventures and just announced our Series B led by Union Square Ventures. We've seen tremendous success in the past 2 years and are growing quickly and efficiently. We're hiring for critical roles to continue our acceleration and national expansion.

• Collaborate and execute incredibly well by "doing more with less" - we value efficiency and output over hours worked.
• Communicate clearly using writing instead of jumping to meetings for everything
• Are fully remote with team members across the country and have invested deeply in making async work
• Value mental health: vulnerability is a big part of our culture. We also have regular mental health days (once per quarter).
• Value fun and hold regular virtual and in-person activities.
