We are a forward-thinking health tech start-up dedicated to transforming delivery of healthcare, starting with musculoskeletal conditions (MSK). Fifty percent of the workforce shows up to work in pain due to an MSK condition ranging from acute pain, like muscle strains, to more chronic pain. People with MSK conditions are often misdiagnosed and are treated passively with opioids, injections or surgery. Often, these expensive and risky treatment methods can be avoided altogether with more modern approaches to preventing, diagnosing and treating MSK pain. Our platform gets people the right amount of help, ensures the patient feels cared for, and avoids inappropriate and unnecessary tests, drugs and surgeries. Further, we are aiming to not only identify and treat the root causes of MSK pain but also the root causes of chronic disease.
The Director of Operations plays a vital role in our mission to empower individuals to reach their goals through compassionate care, accurate diagnostics and precision treatment.
We’ve moved through stage 1 of our journey with best in class gross margins, customer retention and revenue growth and we’re looking for a motivated individual to help us scale the company to tens of millions in revenue and serving hundreds of thousands of patients in an efficient and tech forward way while maintaining strong margins and KPIs.
This position will help set a culture of achievement by facilitating a spirit of collaboration to execute at a high level, and improving efficiencies to be able to scale commensurate with its growth.
