The posting, as Pearl Health wrote it

THE OPPORTUNITY

Pearl Health is looking for a passionate and motivated clinical leader, who will directly shape how care is delivered at some of the country’s leading health systems, and to champion the value-based care model where it matters most.

As an experienced clinical leader, you will serve as a clinical and population health subject matter expert and client-facing performance partner across our value-based care network. In this role, you will manage a portfolio of our ACO enterprise clients, using both clinical judgment and independent data analysis to identify performance drivers and to mobilize physicians and practice leadership around them. Working in close partnership with our Markets and Customer Success teams, you'll be the clinical voice that turns performance data into trusted, actionable guidance and the presence that gets clients to lean in.

WHO WE ARE

Pearl Health is dedicated to empowering primary care providers, health systems, and physician-led networks to succeed in the shift to value-based care. Our platform delivers the technology, financial tools, and expert services that enable practices to provide more proactive, effective care to their Medicare patients, ultimately lowering costs and improving health outcomes.

Founded in 2020, we are a team of healthcare and technology innovators backed by premier investors like Andreessen Horowitz, Viking Global Investors, and AlleyCorp. We partner with thousands of providers across 44 states to build a more sustainable future for American healthcare.

Engage

• Serve as the primary clinical and population health subject matter expert for an assigned portfolio of value-based care clients, partnering directly with physician, clinical, and administrative leadership.
• Partner closely with Pearl's Markets and Customer Success teams as the clinical counterpart on each account to align on client strategy, co-present in key meetings, and ensure clinical and commercial priorities move in lockstep.
