Company: Take Command

Position: Business Development Representative

Location: Dallas or Austin, TX

Who is Take Command?
Take Command is a start-up on a mission to improve the healthcare system, starting with health insurance. Pragmatically speaking, we help employers reimburse employees for individual insurance instead of offering a traditional one-size-fits-all group plan. We believe this model can empower employees (when they have the right support) to be savvy healthcare consumers and have a transformative impact on the entire healthcare system.

Let’s be honest—health insurance is usually a confusing and sometimes emotional experience for people. We want to fix that with a new model, great technology, and a superior user experience. We've made a great start, but we need your help to fully realize our long-term vision!
