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 been growing rapidly and over the past couple of years have helped over 3.6 million patients!
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 are looking for an experienced Talent Acquisition lead who will initially serve as our Founding Recruiter, while building-out our approach to Talent Acquisition. Over time you will grow a team. You will be the driving force behind our daily recruiting efforts while also managing our talent brand, messaging, events and setting our talent acquisition strategy. You'll partner directly with our leadership team to attract exceptional talent and cultivate a high-performing culture. This is a unique opportunity to make a significant impact by building our team as we go from Series A to scaled company.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
This role is a blend of talent acquisition strategy and hands-on recruiting. You will be the first full-time recruiting hire, and will wear many hats, while collaborating closely with our CTO, Fractional Head of People, contract sourcers and recruiters, and hiring managers.
You have the benefit of a year of build-out by fractional recruiters, so Ashby is tight, hiring managers are trained and move with velocity, and there is process and workflows to build upon. But no one has owned TA as a strategic function, and we know this is essential to hiring well, particularly at scale.

Talent Acquisition Strategy (20%)
- Design and Evangelize our Talent Brand. Our mission is to transform lives by unlocking access to medications and care previously blocked by a broken prior authorization process.

You’ll set a strategy to network with the talent sought by top companies, and compel them to want to learn more about Develop Health, and keep-in-touch with candidates who can’t explore now, but where we want to build a relationship for the future
- Curate the Candidate Experience. You will evolve how we hire, to create an experience that genuinely feels like what it’s like to work…
