## Job description

## About Us

Health insurance is one of the most important and complex industries in the world. We believe the technology behind it should make it easier to build better health plans, not harder. At Yuzu, we're on a mission to make health insurance more transparent, connected, and trustworthy. We've built our own modern health plan administration platform and paired it with hands-on operational expertise, giving our partners the flexibility to bring differentiated health plans to life, serve their customers, and grow their businesses. We're backed by General Catalyst, Chemistry, Anthropic’s and Menlo Ventures’ Anthology Fund, Lachy Groom, and Neo. Our team brings together curious builders, experienced operators, and thoughtful problem-solvers who believe there's always a better way. We move quickly, challenge assumptions, and care deeply about the quality of our work and the people we work alongside.

## The Role

We’re looking for an Executive Assistant to partner closely with two of Yuzu’s cofounders and help them make the most of their time. You’ll manage calendars, coordinate meetings, arrange travel, and keep day-to-day logistics running smoothly as the company grows. This role is a great fit for someone who enjoys bringing structure to a busy environment, anticipates needs, and takes pride in getting the details right. You’ll learn each founder’s priorities and working style, use good judgment when plans change, and follow through without needing frequent direction. Trust is essential. You’ll handle sensitive information and work closely with people across the business, so discretion, reliability, and sound judgment matter as much as organizational skills. You’ll also help coordinate in-office and off-site events and candidate visits in coordination with our office managers, creating a welcoming, well-organized experience for our team and the people getting to know Yuzu. You will:

- Manage both cofounders’ calendars, balancing priorities, resolving conflicts, and protecting time for focused work.
- Coordinate internal and external meetings across time zones, including scheduling, meeting rooms, video links, and relevant materials.
- Arrange travel, accommodations, transportation, and reservations, with clear itineraries and thoughtful attention to logistics.
- Anticipate scheduling needs, flag potential issues early, and adapt quickly when plans change.
- Help organize in-office events and team gatherings, coordinating catering, vendors, setup, and other details.
- Partner with the hiring team to coordinate onsite candidate interviews, including schedules, arrival instructions, room bookings, and welcoming candidates.
- Handle confidential business and personnel information with care and discretion.
- Improve recurring scheduling and administrative processes as the team grows.

## Minimum Qualifications

- Experience supporting executives or managing complex calendars, scheduling, and logistics.
- A demonstrated ability to earn trust and handle confidential information with discretion.
- Strong organizational skills, close attention to detail, and consistent follow-through.
- Sound judgment and the ability to work independently while knowing when to ask questions or escalate an issue.
- Experience coordinating meetings and arranging travel.
- Clear, thoughtful communication and the ability to build strong working relationships with internal and external partners.
- A proactive approach to anticipating needs and taking ownership of tasks through completion.
- Comfort managing competing priorities in a fast-moving environment.
- Proficiency with calendar, email, document, and video conferencing tools.

## Preferred Qualifications

- Experience supporting founders or multiple executives at a growing startup.
- Experience coordinating recruiting interviews and onsite candidate visits.
- Experience organizing office events, team gatherings, or offsites.
- Experience managing travel and scheduling across multiple time zones.
- Experience building simple administrative processes that help a growing team work more efficiently.

## About Yuzu Health

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Yuzu Health is a technology platform that provides the infrastructure behind health insurance plans, offering a unified system for claims processing, payments, member administration, and plan configuration as a third-party administrator (TPA) for employers.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Series A; total funding $40M)
- **Headquarters**: New York, New York, United States
- **Founded**: 2022
- **Founders**: Max Kauderer, Ryan Lee, Russell Pekala

## Core Business
- **Industry**: Healthcare technology / health insurance plan administration (Insurtech)
- **Target Customers**: B2B – Plan Designers who create employer health insurance plans, employers, and other TPAs
- **Mission**: “Bringing trust and transparency back to health insurance” by rebuilding the system from the ground up, tackling root causes rather than symptoms.

## Products & Services
- **Claims Engine**: Fully in-house code for timely and reliable adjudication of all claim types and remittances, owned entirely by Yuzu.
- **Payment Infrastructure**: Custom auto-ledgering system providing real-time transparency into where dollars are spent, with no latency.
- **Support Tools**: Custom call routing, workflow alerts, case management software, and proactive tools built into the portal.
- **Human-Centered Portals**: Portals and communications for employers, members, and vendors, built from scratch with white-labeling so everything is branded to the plan designer.
- **Reporting & Analytics**: Real-time raw data and analytics for drill-down and big-picture views, with no black boxes.
- **Integrations**: Streamlined connections for PBM, stop loss, and other high-priority vendors to enable a single source of truth.
- **Benefits Builder**: Tool to add tiers, accumulators, and custom benefits when designing a plan.
- **Document Handling**: Auto-generation of SPDs and SBCs with eSignature capabilities in the portal.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation**: Not disclosed
- **Key Metric**: $40M total funding raised (Series A of $35M closed April 2026)
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: General Catalyst (lead), Chemistry (lead), Anthropic’s Anthology Fund, Bain Future Back Ventures, Timeless Ventures, Lachy Groom, Neo
- **Growth Signals**: 
  - Headcount grew 342% year-over-year to 57 employees (as of mid-2026)
  - LinkedIn followers grew 148% annually
  - Revenue of ~$500K (early stage, rapidly scaling)
  - Active hiring across product, engineering, sales, operations, and finance

## Competitive Advantages
- **In-house everything**: Unlike many TPAs that rely on third-party software, Yuzu owns every line of code for claims adjudication, payment infrastructure, and portals – giving full control and transparency.
- **White-labeling**: Fully branded portals and communications allow plan designers to maintain their own identity.
- **Real-time transparency**: Custom auto-ledgering and raw data reporting provide unmatched visibility into plan spending and performance.
- **Modern tech stack**: Built from the ground up rather than patching legacy systems, enabling faster iteration and better user experience.

## Strategic Focus
- **Current Priorities**: Scaling the platform to launch more groups, deepening integrations with partners (PBM, stop loss), and expanding the sales team to reach health systems, TPAs, and employers directly.
- **Direction for Growth**: Becoming the operating system for innovative health plans, simplifying plan administration, and enabling plan designers to focus on creative plan designs rather than infrastructure.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture**: Emphasizes small teams, in-person collaboration, a product mindset (not just a role), and a willingness to question the status quo. The team builds everything in-house and cares deeply about the work.
- **Work Policy**: In-person / office-based in New York (227 West 29th Street). Collaboration happens face-to-face.
- **Notable Perks**: Opportunity to rebuild healthcare infrastructure from scratch; work with a fast-growing, well-funded startup backed by top-tier investors; direct impact on product and company direction.
- **Engineering Culture**: Engineers are expected to own the product, work in small cross-functional teams, and have a high degree of autonomy. Current open roles include Product Engineer, Software Engineer (Backend), and Software Engineer (Data Systems).
