$165,000.00/yr - $190,000.00/yr About The Company

Valerie Health is reimagining how independent specialty practices operate by using AI to modernize patient and provider communication interfaces, provide better care, and drive operational efficiencies.

We’re led by founders with deep healthcare and tech experience: Pete Shalek, a repeat founder and operator with two health tech exits (including a $600M acquisition by Optum), and Nitin Joshi, who has helped bootstrap and scale several 0–1 and 1–100 businesses, including Uber Eats, Uber Health, and Bridge ($1.1B acquisition by Stripe).

We’re scaling rapidly, automating tens of thousands of tasks per month just six months after launch and growing 50%+ month-over-month.

We’re backed by General Catalyst, Primary Ventures, BoxGroup, and leading angels, including the founders of One Medical and Oscar.

Join us to build the operational backbone for independent practices and shape the future of modern healthcare.

About The Role

Reporting to the Head of Operations, the Director of Operations will launch, build, and lead our primary delivery operations hub outside of San Francisco. This is a rare opportunity to stand up an entire office from the ground up where you will own site leadership, team development, and end-to-end delivery execution for our frontline operations.

Our Operations team is the backbone of our healthcare AI platform, ensuring timely, high-quality care for patients and results for provider practices. This role will oversee a team of frontline Operations Coordinators, individuals who process referrals, manage workflows, and support our AI models through human-in-the-loop verification. You’ll be responsible for hitting key SLAs, driving quality outcomes, and ensuring the team operates with speed, accuracy, and consistency across all workflows. You’ll build the systems, training, and culture to scale with excellence, and partner closely with Product and Engineering to improve automation, efficiency, and customer impact.

The ideal candidate is a hands-on operator who is excited to roll up their sleeves, build a strong and values-driven office culture, coach a growing team, and be a key driver of Valerie’s long-term success. You should be energized by ambiguity, motivated by outcomes, and passionate about delivering exceptional service for our customers.

Hire and Manage a Frontline Team: Recruit, onboard, and manage a rapidly growing team of frontline Operations Coordinators.

Partner Cross-Functionally: Work closely with Product, Engineering, and Customer teams to support launches, escalate bugs, and provide feedback to improve tools and automation. Support Product Pilots and New Workflows: Operationalize new automation offerings (e.g. fax automation, AI scheduling, prior auth) and help define workflows from day one. Be a Culture Carrier: Build a values-driven, mission-aligned culture that enables the team to thrive and grow together.
