About this role

About the Company

K Health is building the infrastructure for how America will access primary care — an AI-enabled virtual platform that meets patients where they are, embedded within the most trusted health systems in the country. We are live with ten leading health system partners including Cedars-Sinai, Mayo Clinic, Mass General Brigham, and Northwell, and we are growing fast: We have doubled year over year and we expect the next year to be even stronger.

You will uniquely bridge the gap between our corporate functions and our clinical organization, balancing high-growth scaling with operational excellence. A key priority will be building a structured career trajectory and development path for clinicians from the ground up as we scale our clinician team from 80 to over 250.

• People Analytics & Operations: Establish data-driven HR practices, metrics, and systems to continuously measure and improve employee engagement, retention, and operational efficiency.

• Culture & Organizational Design: Drive programs that reinforce company culture, foster an inclusive workplace, and support organizational agility during rapid scaling.

What We Are Looking For

• 10+ years of progressive HR / People Operations experience, with at least 3–5+ years in a senior leadership role (VP, Head of People, or Senior Director).

• Dual Domain Expertise: Proven experience managing People Operations across both corporate functions and scaling clinical, medical, or field/frontline operations.

• Scaling Track Record: Demonstrated success scaling a high-growth company or division (specifically experience building programs to scale teams significantly, such as 2x–3x growth).

• Program Architecture: Hands-on experience designing and implementing career progression frameworks, performance management systems, and retention strategies from scratch.

Bonus

• Advanced degree (Master’s, MBA, or M.S. in HR/Org Development) or HR certifications (SHRM-SCP, SPHR).

• Experience in HealthTech, Telehealth, or healthcare delivery environments.

• Experience navigating fast-paced, matrixed, or venture-backed environments.

• 18 vacation days, 9 company holidays, 5 sick days, and 2 personal days

• Stock options for every full-time employee

• Paid parental leave

• 401k benefit
