About the company
At Covera, we're committed to ensuring high-quality healthcare is more than just a promise. That's why we're leading the way in the emerging science of quality, and connecting providers and payers in their shared quest to improve patient outcomes and care quality. By tackling this challenge, we have the ability to impact millions of lives by raising the standard of care nationwide.
Our initial focus is radiology, where an early and accurate diagnosis has a profound impact on the rest of a patient's care journey. Through our work, which uses clinically-validated science-based tools, we're helping doctors enhance their care, ensuring patients get the right diagnosis, and enabling the healthcare system to support quality improvement at scale.
Through our clinical intelligence platform, we have launched programs that help people access the most effective care and provide doctors with AI-powered quality insights and tools to enhance their care. Today, Covera is partnered with leading employers, payers and healthcare organizations across the US, including Walmart and Microsoft. And, with a pipeline representing over 25% of insured Americans, we are in the early stages of improving care quality for all patients across the globe.
About the role
Covera is looking for an extraordinarily driven, passionate addition to the people team who thrives in fast-moving environments and knows how to build momentum inside complex and evolving start up organizations. This role is for someone who runs toward ownership, acts with urgency, and consistently turns ambiguity into action. We are looking for someone who can make things happen.
The People Operations and Experience Manager will partner with the Chief People Officer to deliver a consistent and high-quality employee experience across all stages of the employee lifecycle - from onboarding to offboarding and all the moments that matter in between for both our fully remote and in-office workforce.

This is a dynamic role that will evolve as the needs of the company change. The responsibilities outlined here are what is expected today, and additional duties will be assigned as business needs arise.
