SalaryWho we are. . .
Pearl Health is restoring the independence and joy of practicing medicine for doctors in the United States. Our healthcare system has burdened our doctors with too much process, while removing them from what they do best: caring for those we love most. We are a team of physicians and public health experts (Stanford, Dartmouth, Harvard, Mass. General), technologists (athenahealth, Apple, Amazon, Meta, Flatiron, WalMart Health), healthcare innovators (Oscar, Aledade, VillageMD, Stellar, Arcadia) and experienced risk management professionals (CVS/Aetna, Humana, Cigna, United) who believe that primary care providers (PCPs) are the key to the United States' future health. Pearl recently announced a strategic partnership to proliferate value-based care with Walgreens, one of the largest healthcare companies in the country. Our investors include Andreessen Horowitz, Viking Global Investors, AlleyCorp, and SV Angel.
Pearl Health helps PCPs who are overwhelmed by the demands of an aging population and the unpredictable business model inherent to Traditional Medicare. Over time, this solution will empower PCPs to provide better care to their entire patient population. We believe there is a need to bring humanism back to healthcare by giving physicians the ability to better allocate their time with patients, increasing their autonomy, creating incentives that are aligned with achieving better outcomes through clinical decision-making powered by actionable intelligence, and making risk more available and more readily optimized through an intelligent marketplace. The Center for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS) is launching a new value-based care program to disrupt Traditional Medicare, and we believe that this represents an opportunity to achieve the meaningful change we envision.
The role. . .
Pearl's Performance Operations team leads initiatives aimed to improve client performance in value-based care programs. We are responsible for translating performance opportunities into actionable approaches, incubating and testing new ideas, and partnering with our Product and Customer Success colleagues to scale those that work.
We are seeking a curious and motivated Senior Associate to support the many initiatives that we're building to help our clients succeed in value-based care programs. In this role, you'll collaborate with different teams to execute a variety of processes, while working to refine and optimize these processes as we develop new capabilities for our clients.
You should be: curious and always looking to learn something new; a systematic thinker who is comfortable prioritizing multiple critical projects; an effective communicator; and a collaborator who is willing to jump in wherever help is needed. An interest in value-based care and a desire to learn the nuances of a variety of Medicare programs will make you an ideal candidate. This role will report to our Performance Operations Manager. To be successful in this role you will:
- Support existing day-to-day core functions to help keep our team operating effectively and efficiently.
- Collaborate with a cross-functional team to help manage relationships with partners that are critical to our success in VBC.
- Surface areas for process improvement across our operations and make structured recommendations based on lift/impact as we continue to scale.
- Develop expertise in your areas of influence, and use that knowledge to build trust with partners both internal and external to Pearl Health.
- Partner across the organization to ensure successful implementation of critical initiatives.
Who you are. . .
- Bachelor's degree or equivalent work experience
- 3+ years of experience in healthcare operations, population health, and/or value-based care (experience within startup environments is a plus, but not required)
- Passionate about problem solving and learning new things – you love thinking about problems from a systems perspective, and are eager to deploy that passion in a VBC setting
- Metric-driven; comfortable working in an environment in which hypotheses are framed around data-driven assumptions, and experienced in analyzing data from disparate sources
- Willing to tackle ambiguous problems with a can-do attitude
- Experienced working in cross-functional teams and communicating with stakeholders at varying levels of seniority
