Contract Senior Talent Partner

9amHealth is redefining cardiometabolic care with a first of its kind, whole body approach to preventing and treating diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure, and hypertension. Founded in 2021 and backed by top tier investors including 7Wire Ventures, Human Capital, Founders Fund, and Define Ventures, we deliver custom care plans, fast medication delivery, and expert guidance that empower patients to live healthier lives.

We believe AI enabled health services will be among the biggest winners of this technology shift, and we’re building accordingly. We already use AI across the product: member facing agents, clinical copilots, automated triage, intelligent care workflows. Our goal is to bring the cost of healthcare down dramatically while providing an incredible experience for both our members and clinicians. AI isn’t a feature on our roadmap, it’s how we think about every feature on our roadmap.

We’re a Series B company with over 200 people, growing fast. Our product and engineering team is distributed across the US and Austria, and we’re scaling it significantly.
