About Taro Health
Taro Health is a team of healthcare nerds, software engineers, product designers, direct primary care doctors, health insurance experts, and more. We are building a healthcare system that makes sense, starting by redefining the role of health insurance – one that focuses on reducing friction for doctors and patients, and investing in ways to create more meaningful doctor-patient relationships.
We believe unrushed conversations with doctors lead to better health and lower costs for patients. Our health plans enable all members to have free and frictionless access to a dedicated doctor they know and trust. We’re excited to create health insurance plans you can actually use.
We’re backed by top investors and are looking for values-aligned individuals to join our NYC-based founding team.
Our aspirations for this role
Taro Health is seeking an experienced and enthusiastic individual who will lead many aspects of our Network. For the right candidate, this is a tremendous opportunity to grow professionally by covering a broad surface area from health system-level negotiation to Network optimization via direct contracting and credentialing to day-to-day provider relations and operations. Wearing multiple hats is an understatement. You should feel energized by owning a large scope and having wide-ranging responsibilities.
This is not your typical role. It will be hands-on from Day One and comprehensive, as is the nature of any startup. You will be deeply involved in developing and operating Taro’s high-quality provider network. This includes, but is not limited to, partnering with leading health systems within each market, developing strong provider relationships, direct contracting and negotiating, establishing rates and other financial benchmarks, developing and optimizing the Network directory, maintaining provider credentialing processes, and more. You love the world of providers, from large hospitals to small independent practices, and are excited to build a Network from the vantage point of a new type of payer.
Taro Health is in its early stages. Each new team member has the opportunity to significantly shape our culture, product, strategy, and operations. Candidates should be eager to work in a dynamic, fast-moving environment where their contributions have a direct and outsized impact.
