  • Head of Provider Growth

    Develop Health Inc.

    Direct care worker job in Menlo Park, CA

    Develop Health is on a mission to use AI to radically accelerate access to life‑saving medications. By automating complex, manual healthcare processes-like benefit verification and prior authorization-we've grown from $0 to >$10M in annual recurring revenue in less than 2 years, and currently help more than 400,000 new patients every month. We're partnering with some of the largest pharmacy benefit managers and payers in the nation, revolutionizing how healthcare interactions occur by eliminating human delays and inefficiencies. Our small, elite team of founders and engineers have previously launched and exited successful healthcare startups including Rupa Health and Canvas Medical. We are now scaling rapidly following a major funding round. About the Role We're looking for a builder - someone who wants to take a messy zero-to-one commercial motion and turn it into something that works, fast. As our first Head of Provider Growth, you'll own provider adoption end-to-end: testing channels, refining targeting, knocking on clinic doors with our first reps, and scaling the system once we know it works. This role is perfect for someone who has built growth engines before (in startups, agencies, or their own companies), loves rapid experimentation, and wants to have massive impact in a short amount of time. If you're energized by figuring things out, learning new markets quickly, and driving toward a real number, you'll thrive here. What You'll Do - Impact in Your First 3-6 Months Own the growth target. Build and execute a plan to reach meaningful PA volume across provider settings. Run fast experiments. Test messages, channels, outreach methods, and install flows to identify what moves the needle fastest. Get your hands dirty. Shadow field reps, visit clinics, talk to staff, learn the real workflows, and refine our pitch based on firsthand insight. Target smarter. Partner with our Head of Strat/FinOps to map specialties, geos, and practice types with the highest PA density and frictionless install paths. Create momentum. Build a simple but effective engine: outbound sequences, enrichment, list building, mini‑landing pages, CRM flows, funnel dashboards. Produce early proof points. Deliver data that shows what works, what doesn't, and where we should double down. What You'll Own - Once the Motion Works Scale the playbook. Turn early wins into a repeatable, efficient GTM system. Build the team. Hire the team you need to support and scale the motion you prove. Optimize for leverage. Use automation, lightweight tools, and creative channel tactics to keep CAC low and velocity high. Partner deeply with Product + Life Sciences. Share real‑world workflow insights that shape product decisions and help funder‑facing teams land partnerships. Who You Are You've built zero-to-one growth engines before - maybe at a startup, maybe at your own company, maybe as the first GTM hire somewhere. You're comfortable doing the hands‑on work: outreach, targeting, data pulls, experiments, dashboards, even jumping into a clinic visit. You love learning new markets fast and figuring out “where the volume is.” You'd rather launch something messy tomorrow than plan something perfect for next month. You bias toward velocity, iteration, and ownership. You're energized by the idea of owning a number and building the system that achieves it. What You'll Bring on Day 1 5+ years in growth, GTM, marketing, market development, sales ops, or similar roles with real execution responsibility. Demonstrated success running experiments, building acquisition channels, and scaling what works. Comfort jumping between strategy and hands‑on execution - sometimes in the same hour. Strong analytical instincts: segmentation, funnel analysis, basic sheets, experiment testing frameworks. Ability to self‑start: you don't wait for perfect context, you create clarity through action. Bonus Points You've built growth loops in scrappy environments with limited resources. Experience with healthcare workflows or EHR ecosystems (not required - we'll teach you). You've been the “first GTM hire” or grown something from zero to one. You enjoy hacking together tools + lightweight automation to scale your impact. #J-18808-Ljbffr

  • Primary Care Provider NP/PA - SM MAT/Cordilleras

    Healthright 360 4.5company rating

    Direct care worker job in San Mateo, CA

    . Salary listed is the base salary but negotiable based on experience. Are you passionate about providing dignified, compassionate and respectful medical care to people with mental illness and substance use disorders? Are you an excellent communicator? Do you enjoy working independently and using the full scope of your license? HealthRIGHT 360 is currently looking to fill a full-time Primary Care Provider position opening who would work at two of our San Mateo County program sites: the HealthRIGHT 360 San Mateo MAT Clinic in San Mateo and the Cordilleras Mental Health Rehabilitation Center primary care clinic in Redwood City! The ideal candidate has direct patient care experience working in a primary care setting, has excellent skills in motivational interviewing and an understanding of harm reduction and trauma-informed care, and has successfully worked with issues of substance abuse, mental health, and medical complexity. In this position you will work with unique patient populations and be part of 2 small teams providing primary care in a mental health setting and providing medications for addiction treatment in a community setting. This position offers the ability to work independently and as part of team, utilizing the full scope of your license in an integrated behavioral health/primary care model! Sound interesting? Below you will find a more detailed description of some of the duties and requirements for this position. The San Mateo Medication Assisted Treatment Program opened in 2016 and was created to fill the gap for substance use treatment within San Mateo County. We are warm, welcoming, and non-judgmental. Our patients struggle with addiction and come from varying backgrounds including homelessness and previous incarceration. The clinic staff collaborates with the county and their Integrated Medicated Assisted Treatment team to provide fully integrated medical and behavioral support to patients with substance use disorders. We also work with other HealthRight360 programs and outside agencies in a collaborative cross functional model to help people make meaningful changes in their lives. We also provide primary care to our patients who have struggled in more mainstream primary care settings- addressing acute, chronic and preventive care needs. This role will spend 60% of their time at the San Mateo Medication Assisted Treatment Program on a set schedule (3 days per week). Cordilleras Mental Health Rehabilitation Center (MHRC) houses two separate treatment programs for adults with chronic mental illness; a licensed 68-bed mental health rehabilitation center (MHRC) and a licensed 49-bed adult residential facility (ARF) called The Suites. Cordilleras primarily serves San Mateo County residents, 18 and older, with long histories of mental illness and multiple episodes of acute psychiatric hospitalization. The goal of Cordilleras is to allow individuals who would otherwise be in a state hospital or an acute care setting to develop the skills and supports needed to live more independently in the community. Cordilleras also offers treatment options for persons who have substance abuse issues in addition to a serious mental illness.
