Mission driven digital health startup going through major pivotal change has created opportunities to make a difference.

You've been a founding Technical Leader, Partner or CTO of a successful SaaS Health Tech or Digital Health organization and you are ready to do it again but you must love the challenge of doing the impossible. You’ll play a key role on the Leadership Team, partnering with the CEO (and other leadership) to bring a bold vision to life.

We’ve been working on our product for some time and are beyond the MVP stage, but our needs are unique and require a different leadership. Because of this we need an exceptional person fueled by grit, gumption, tenacity, and a passion for what we have built and will continue to build which is a product that is going to change the way that people engage with their health and well-being. More information will be provided if there is interest between you and our company.
