## Job description

## About Conduit Health

Conduit Health is transforming one of the hardest, most outdated corners of post-acute care — getting essential medical equipment and supplies into patients’ homes. We’re the first vertically integrated, AI-powered platform to unite ordering, telehealth, prescriptions, insurance, and fulfillment into one seamless experience. In seconds, case managers and providers can say “yes” to patients who would otherwise wait weeks — while we handle every step behind the scenes.

## The Role

Conduit Health is looking for an exceptional Founding People Lead to build the People function behind our growing healthcare company. You'll work closely with the CEO and leadership team to own the company's most important priorities around talent, organizational development, and People Operations. From recruiting and performance management to building the systems and processes that support our employees, you'll help create the foundation for an exceptional company and team. We're looking for a high-agency, hands-on operator who thrives in fast-moving environments and is excited to build a People function from the ground up.

## What You’ll Do

- Org design and structure. Partner with leadership to define clear roles, reporting lines, and decision-making ownership, and build an organizational plan that scales with our growth.
- Talent strategy and recruiting. Partner with leaders on hiring plans, role definitions, and succession as the team expands. Own and oversee our recruiting engine, including managing internal and external recruiting partners and personally driving critical searches.
- Headcount and workforce planning. Work with finance to align hiring with budget and business priorities, and build compensation frameworks that are fair, competitive, and sustainable.
- People Operations & Infrastructure. Own the employee lifecycle, including onboarding, offboarding, benefits, HR systems, and compliance. Build the essential policies, processes, and infrastructure needed to support our team as we scale.
- Performance management. Design and launch our first performance review process, including goal-setting, feedback cycles, and career leveling, so people know what's expected and how to grow.
- Culture and engagement. Shape practices that preserve what makes Conduit special as we scale, including employee engagement, internal communications, and company-wide initiatives.

This is an opportunity to build Conduit's People function from the ground up and have an outsized impact on the people, culture, and operating system of the company.

## Who You Are

- 3–7 years of experience in Recruiting, People Operations, HR, or a related function, at a high-growth startup.
- Demonstrated experience owning, building and driving recruiting processes, partnering with hiring managers, and developing talent strategies in a scaling organization.
- Experience building or scaling People processes and infrastructure in an early-stage or fast-growing company.
- Strong understanding of People operations, employee relations, benefits, and employment compliance.
- Extremely high ownership, judgment, discretion, and attention to detail.
- An exceptional communicator who is comfortable working directly with senior executives and employees at all levels.
- Comfortable balancing strategic initiatives with hands-on execution.
- Thrive in fast-moving environments with high expectations and significant responsibility.
- Comfortable being hybrid in our NYC office 3 days/week.

## Compensation & Benefits

- Flexible working environment (3 in-office days per week in New York).
- Unlimited PTO + 9 company holidays.
- Direct mentorship and growth opportunities with senior leadership.

## Equal Opportunity

Conduit Health is an equal-opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to building an inclusive environment for all employees.

## About Conduit Health

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Conduit Health makes it easy for Medicare and Medicaid patients to get essential home medical supplies fully covered by insurance, by integrating clinical evaluation, insurance authorization, and supply fulfillment into one seamless platform.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Series A)
- **Headquarters**: New York, New York, USA
- **Founded**: 2023
- **Founders**: Natan Wise (CEO) and Rocky Seftel (CPO)

## Core Business
- Primary industry/industries: Healthcare technology, Durable Medical Equipment (DME), Insurance navigation
- Target customers: B2C (Medicare and Medicaid patients and their caregivers) and B2B (MLTSS plans, home care agencies, discharge planning teams, skilled nursing facilities, case management organizations)
- Mission or purpose statement: To make it easier for patients to access what they're already entitled to — insurance-covered home medical supplies — so they can stay healthy and independent at home.

## Products & Services
- **Platform/Service**: A consumer-facing platform that connects patients with licensed clinicians over a quick phone or video call, verifies insurance eligibility, and handles all prescriptions and paperwork to deliver medical supplies directly to the patient's door with easy monthly re-ordering.
- **CareOS (Proprietary AI Engine)**: The Conduit Authorization and Reimbursement Engine, an agentic AI platform trained on 50,000+ patient interactions. It predicts coverage and automates payer workflows in real time to accelerate approvals and cut through insurance bottlenecks.
- **Product Catalog**: A wide range of DME including adult diapers, pull-ups, chux, liners, pads, transport chairs, rollators, walkers, manual wheelchairs, Hoyer lifts, and continuous glucose monitors (e.g., Dexcom G7, FreeStyle Libre 2+ and 3+).

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not disclosed
- **Key Metric**: Total Funding — $22 million (raised $17M Series A in March 2026, led by Drive Capital, with participation from XYZ Ventures, Twelve Below, Eniac Ventures, and others) [prnewswire.com](https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/conduit-health-raises-17-million-series-a-to-rebuild-the-path-to-insurance-covered-medical-supplies-302715481.html)
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Drive Capital, XYZ Ventures, Twelve Below, Eniac Ventures, Diede van Lamoen [conduithealth.com](https://www.conduithealth.com/about)
- **Growth Signals**: Over 50,000 patients served since its public launch in late 2024. The company saw more patients in February 2026 than in the entire first half of 2025. Its payer network includes more than 100 health plans covering nearly 90 million lives. Product catalog has increased four times over since launch.

## Competitive Advantages
- **Vertically Integrated Model**: Conduit consolidates clinical evaluation, insurance authorization, and fulfillment under one roof, eliminating the administrative handoffs that typically delay access for weeks.
- **CareOS Moat**: A proprietary AI engine trained on 50,000+ cases that codifies hundreds of thousands of payer-specific rules. It gets stronger with every new case, creating a data network effect that is difficult to replicate.
- **Zero Cost to Patients**: Everything is fully covered by insurance — no out-of-pocket costs, no insurance forms, and no need to visit a doctor beforehand, dramatically lowering the barrier to access.
- **Consumer-First Approach**: Unlike traditional DME suppliers, Conduit is built for the patient experience, with a quick online intake, telehealth consults, and automated monthly resupply.

## Strategic Focus
- **Current Priorities**: Continue scaling the vertically-integrated model to serve the growing aging-at-home population. Expand the payer network and product catalog. Leverage CareOS to take on more denial risk and standardize workflows.
- **Future Vision**: Expand beyond DME into a broader range of insurance-covered services for home healthcare, including transportation to medical appointments, medically-tailored meals, and home modifications.
