About us

Corner Health is an early-stage technology company building the operating system for independent primary care. We give Nurse Practitioners (NPs) everything they need to start and run their own practices — from billing and insurance infrastructure to AI-powered workflow automation.

We’re positioned to be the fastest growing in-person primary care company ever.

Corner Health was co-founded by Lava Sunder and Anne Gifford and has raised a Series A backed by top investors, as well as the founders of DoorDash, Commure, Grow Therapy, Kindred, Culdesac & more.

### About the Role

We’re looking for a Strategy & Operations Lead to work directly with the cofounders on the highest‑leverage priorities across the company. This is a true generalist, 0→1 role: part strategy, part execution, part systems‑building. You’ll help shape how Corner Health grows—from launching new business lines to improving operational models to unlocking entirely new ways for providers and patients to engage.

At Corner Health, we’re building something fundamentally different: a network of hyper-local, independent, in-person primary care practices powered by modern technology. This is a completely new model of care. Today, 88% of patients prefer a provider powered by Corner Health vs. elsewhere, and patients return at 2× the national average - not because of marketing, but because the experience actually works.

That foundation creates a unique opportunity. When patients trust their provider and keep coming back in-person, there’s a wide surface area for growth, from follow-up care and longitudinal programs to longevity care to new services like cash and wellness products, better retention loops, and entirely new ways of engaging patients.

This is one of the most impactful roles at Corner Health.

### What you'll work on
  • Drive company‑level strategic initiatives across product, operations, and growth
  • Launch and scale new business lines — from wellness and cash‑pay services to longitudinal care programs and new patient engagement models
  • Build and refine operational systems that improve efficiency, quality, and provider success
  • Run 0→1 experiments to validate new opportunities and accelerate learning
  • Analyze business performance and develop insights that shape strategic decisions
  • Partner cross‑functionally with product, engineering, operations, and growth to ensure initiatives land in practice
  • Develop scalable playbooks that turn successful experiments into repeatable systems across our network
  • Work directly with providers to understand needs, test new ideas, and drive real P&L impact
  • Own special projects that don’t have a natural home but matter deeply to the business
  • Create clarity in ambiguity and push initiatives from concept to execution
  • You’ll help make each practice more successful than the last—and build the systems that allow Corner Health to scale exponentially.

    ### What you’re like
  • Hard‑working, kind, curious, and energized by solving ambiguous problems
  • A high‑slope generalist who can move seamlessly from strategy to execution
  • Comfortable working directly with founders and senior leaders
  • Able to design systems, not just run processes
  • Excited to work with providers and understand the realities of care delivery
  • 4–6 years of experience in a high‑performing environment (early‑stage startup, top‑tier consulting, high‑growth ops, or similar)
  • Based in Los Angeles or excited to relocate; this role is in‑person in Santa Monica
  • ### What would set you apart
  • Experience in health tech or healthcare operations
  • A track record of building or scaling something from 0→1
  • Excitement about empowering independent medical providers
  • Interest in emerging wellness and longevity trends, paired with an evidence‑driven mindset
  • Deep care for building something patients genuinely trust
  •  
    ### Benefits
  • Competitive salary & equity compensation
  • Top-tier health and dental
  • Health & wellness stipend
  • Eligible to participate in company-sponsored 401(k) plan
  • ### What we're like

    You’re joining an early-stage company - it’s important to learn more about what we’re like!

    We're a small team with high ownership and high autonomy. We are motivated by the providers we get to know, and the patient lives we impact.

    We love celebrating when one of our providers hits a patient growth milestone, when we see a stellar review written by a patient who finally feels listened to, or when we ship a quick feature request that a provider has (our fastest time from request → live was 12 minutes!)

    We use best-in-class tools to move fast and punch above our weight, and the work we do has a direct, tangible impact on people's health and lives, and we feel that every day.

    Lastly - one of our team values is "Life is short - it's OK to laugh".  Whether it's late-night team dinners, mini golf, or just jamming on new ideas for our providers - we work hard and have fun doing it.

    Corner Health is proud to be an equal opportunity employer and considers all qualified applicants for employment without regard to race, color, religion, age, sex, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, national origin, disability, veteran status or any other legally protected characteristic. We also consider for employment all qualified applicants regardless of criminal histories, consistent with applicable law.
