Job Summary:
We’re hiring a people leader who can both hire exceptional talent and unlock the potential of the people already here—while installing processes that let us scale from 30 to 100+ employees without losing speed or cultural coherence. You will report to the CCO and partner daily with the CEO, CTO, and functional VPs.
Key Responsibilities:
People & Culture (≈75 %)
- Translate our written cultural values into daily behaviors and rituals that feel consistent across teams and time zones.
- Deploy an outcome-oriented OKR and performance-review rhythm that differentiates high and low performance and ties directly to the 2025 priorities.
- Guide leaders through org-design questions as we stand up new functions (Customer Success, Implementation) and clarify role boundaries.
- Develop & Own compensation philosophy, incentives, benefits, onboarding, and compliance (HIPAA, PBC obligations), creating “Qualified Way” playbooks that keep scaling repeatable.
- Serve as the first point of contact for employee relations, coaching, and change-management needs.
- ADD - Learning and development
Talent Acquisition (≈25 % of your time)
- Work closely with our recruiting lead to design and operate a full-cycle recruiting engine that delivers top hires across engineering, GTM, customer success, and clinical teams.
- Guide and develop a nimble TA squad while shaping our recruiting infrastructure and tooling (e.g., Greenhouse, Gem).
- Craft and amplify our employer brand so that top health-tech talent and the broader market view Qualified as the obvious place to work and learn.
- Provide weekly funnel analytics—time-to-fill, diversity mix, source effectiveness—and recommend actions.
- Partner with founders on succession planning and on knowing when to “hire senior” versus grow internal talent.
Required Qualifications:
- Six or more years that combine talent acquisition and HR business-partner experience in high-growth tech or health-tech, with at least one tour in a sub-150-person startup.
- Demonstrated ability to close senior leaders while simultaneously building scalable processes.
Fluency in performance-management frameworks that drive outcomes rather than activity. - Data-driven mindset; comfortable instrumenting and interpreting recruiting and people metrics.
- Working knowledge of healthcare privacy and compliance (HIPAA, SOC 2, HITRUST) or other heavily regulated domains.
- Able to work onsite 3 days/week in Palo Alto
Desirable Skills:
- Exposure to AI/ML or enterprise SaaS.
- Experience standing up Customer Success or services teams for complex software deployments.
- Background in a public-benefit corporation or other mission-driven, values-first organization.
What Success Looks Like After 12 Months:
- Company-wide OKR and quarterly performance cycles are fully adopted, and performance issues are addressed within one cycle
- Employee and customer-onboarding playbooks reduce ramp time by at least 30 %.
- Pulse surveys show at least 80 % of staff agreeing that “our culture feels consistent and alive.”
- Qualified Health is recognized as a leading voice in generative-AI healthcare—and your employer-brand work is a key reason why.
- Average time-to-hire for priority roles is under 60 days, with a ≥90 % offer-acceptance rate and agreed diversity targets achieved.
