Since our founding in 2023, we have formed partnerships with leading healthcare organizations and are on track to serve hundreds of thousands of patients on our platform within the next year. We have raised over $35M from a16z, Google Ventures, Pear VC and other top-tier VC firms.

Our team combines deep expertise in medicine (Harvard, Mt. Sinai, Mass General, UCSF) and technology (MIT, Google, DeepMind, NVIDIA, Stripe, Meta) — and we’re looking for exceptional people to join us as we scale.

Join us as we build the future of AI in healthcare! -----------------------------------------------------

## About The Role

Counsel Health is building the future of AI-native primary care, and we’re looking for an experienced physician leader to help lead and scale our growing medical group. This is a player-coach role where you'll directly manage our W-2 and 1099 physicians providing asynchronous acute, primary, and longevity care, while continuing to see patients approximately 30% of the time. You’ll be a key partner to our VP of Care Delivery and VP of Clinical Operations, scaling the world’s leading AI-native medical group. You’ll support day-to-day care delivery, raise the bar on physician performance, and build a medical group where clinicians feel supported, connected, and accountable for exceptional care. This is a rare chance to build at the cutting edge of AI in care delivery.

## What You'll Do

- Scale and lead a high-performing medical group. You're a physician leader who knows how to inspire, develop, and retain great clinicians. You're equally comfortable setting expectations and holding the quality bar high.
- Shape the physician experience and culture. You'll build a culture of clinical excellence and accountability while leading physician meetings and driving initiatives that improve engagement and retention.
- Build and launch new clinical programs. You know how to turn clinical ideas into scalable care experiences. You'll work directly with our Product and AI teams to design and launch new programs, shape clinical workflows, and influence the evolution of our care model.
- Drive clinical and operational excellence. You have strong analytic skills, can dig into day-to-day challenges and drive solutions alongside Clinical Operations.
- Lead with clinical judgment. You're a trusted clinical authority who can navigate complex cases. You know when to make a decisive call and when to escalate.
- Stay connected to patient care. You believe the best clinical leadership comes from understanding what happens on the front lines. You'll continue practicing medicine approximately 30% of the time, bringing firsthand experience into how you lead physicians and shape care delivery.

## What You Bring

- Board certification in Family Medicine, Internal Medicine, or Emergency Medicine, with meaningful experience providing longitudinal patient care.
- 3+ years of post-residency clinical practice (5+ preferred), including managing chronic conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, weight management, and metabolic health.
- Direct physician management experience, including coaching, performance management, and delivering difficult feedback. Three or more years preferred, though strong candidates with less experience will be considered.
- Currently practicing medicine or having provided direct patient care within the past three months.
- 10+ active U.S. state medical licenses and willingness to obtain additional licenses.
- Virtual care experience, strong written communication skills, and comfort with asynchronous, messaging-based care.

Why Build Your Future With Counsel?

- Help shape the future of medicine. Join a physician-founded, AI-native healthcare company redefining how patients access and experience care, with the opportunity to influence the next generation of clinical practice.
- Grow as a physician leader. Take on meaningful leadership responsibility, build new clinical programs, and expand your influence as our medical group and care model continue to evolve.
- Work alongside exceptional minds. Collaborate with leading physicians, clinical innovators, and AI experts from institutions including Stanford, Harvard, Mass General, UCSF, and other world-class organizations.
- Build with the backing of industry leaders. Join a rapidly growing company backed by a16z, GV, and other leading investors, with the resources and ambition to transform healthcare at scale.
- Be rewarded for your impact. Receive a competitive salary, benefits, and an equity package that gives you a stake in the future you're helping build.
