About the Company

Valerie Health is the AI front office for independent provider groups. We are reimagining how independent practices operate by using AI to modernize patient/provider communication, enhance care, and drive industry-changing operational efficiencies.

Why join us now?

• Team: We are led by Pete Shalek (2x health tech exits, including a $600M acquisition by Optum) and Nitin Joshi (scaled Uber Eats + Health, Stripe Connect, and Bridge–acquired by Stripe for $1.1B). Beyond our founders, our team brings DNA from category leaders (Uber, Stripe, Meta), high-growth unicorns, and top consulting firms.

• Trajectory: We partner with leading independent specialty groups across the U.S., automating hundreds of thousands of tasks each month. The business is scaling rapidly, with revenue doubling quarter-over-quarter, on track for ~7x growth this year, alongside 300% net revenue retention.

• Funding: We have raised $39m from world-class investors including Redpoint Ventures, General Catalyst, Primary Ventures, and BoxGroup.

About the Role

We are looking for a strategic, hands-on Founding Recruiter to build our talent function from the ground up. You will serve as a strategic partner to our leadership team, directly owning the search to hire world-class engineers and strategic non-technical roles. Beyond your own requisitions, you will oversee the broader hiring machine, managing our recruiting operations and high-volume volume ops roles to ensure excellence across the board.

This is not just a "seat-filling" role. This is a chance to design our recruiting engine, define our talent brand, and shape the culture of a future category leader.

What You’ll do

• Strategic Recruiting Engine: You will own full-cycle recruiting for technical and strategic non-technical roles. You will act as a "hunter," using creative sourcing strategies to attract top-1% talent.

• Delivery Hiring Oversight: You will manage a high-volume ops recruiter responsible for our delivery team, ensuring quality and consistency across all hiring verticals.

• Talent Branding: You will work with both founders and our leadership team to amplify our story in the market, driving referrals and inbound interest.

• Recruiting Operations: You will manage and implement the recruiting stack, design structured interview plans, and create data-driven reporting loops to keep hiring managers aligned.

• Candidate Experience: You will define what it feels like to interview at Valerie Health, ensuring candidates become an advocate for our brand.

Who You Are

• Experience: 2-6+ years of full-cycle technical recruiting experience, including 1-2+ years in a high-growth startup, talent-dense engineering firm, and/or a top tier search firm. You have a proven track record of closing Senior/Staff level Engineers.

• Operational Toolkit: You are data-native. You know how to use modern ATS platforms (Ashby experience is a massive plus) to track funnel metrics and spot bottlenecks.

• Talent Bar: You prioritize quality over quantity. You understand that in a startup, one bad hire is worse than a missed hire.

• Communication: You can sell the vision. You are able to distill complex technical requirements and pitch the "rocketship" opportunity to candidates.

• Urgency & Ownership: You do not operate like it’s a 9–5. You act without waiting for direction. You own outcomes end-to-end, from hands-on execution (e.g., scheduling coordination) to higher-leverage contributions (e.g., shaping hiring strategy and compensation decisions).

Bonus Points

• Experience hiring for non-technical roles (GTM, Ops, G&A).

• Experience managing junior recruiters/sourcers.

Compensation & Benefits

• Be a founding operator with meaningful ownership in an AI-native, high-growth startup

• Competitive salary, equity and benefits including medical, dental, vision, 401(k) and PTO

Compensation Range: $150K - $200K
