Strategy & Operations Associate

About Verse Medical

We’re building the software infrastructure that enables hospital-quality care, at home. As healthcare costs have increased, the patient’s home has become incredibly important as a site of care.

Yet, patients recovering at home are highly underserved. Patients can only get better at home if they receive the high-quality care that they need reliably. The existing in-home care process involves a patchwork of different vendors, all connected through faxes and phone calls. We’re building modern, robust software that solves this challenge. We currently operate across 49 states with most of the largest health systems in the US.

We’re backed by some of the best investors in technology and healthcare and have ambitious expansion plans. It’s a particularly exciting time to join the company as we’re aggressively expanding the team.

This is our first dedicated manufacturer and distributor relations role, focused on procurement strategy and vendor contract implementation. Although Verse is digital health company, this role is a good fit for someone with the right combination of analytical, communication, and stakeholder-management skills regardless of past healthcare or technology industry experience.

What the role consists of:

• Manufacturer relationship management: negotiate and implement direct contracts with our medical product manufacturers
• Distribution strategy: work with Operations, Finance, Strategy, and Product leaders to help decide how we should be sourcing various types of products for our patients
• New vendor setup: work with internal Product and Operations teams to make sure we're able to scale efficiently as we bring on new vendors or expand into new product categories
• Financial analysis: analyze the profitability or favorability of various initiatives or product categories
• Plan and execute complex business development initiatives
• Unlike a conventional strategy role, this is a highly execution- and implementation-oriented role and you must be a very hands-on operator to succeed in this role

What we're looking for:

• 2+ years in a previous consulting, business development, or operations role
• Excellent analytical skills
• Excellent communication skills and willingness to meet with senior executives of our large vendor partners
• Consultative, willing to take feedback and iterate accordingly
• High level of organization and attention to detail
• Willingness to take on complex and ambiguous challenges with a can-do attitude. This role may occasionally require extended working hours to meet deadlines and achieve business-critical objectives

Why this role:

• Fast career progression. We’re at an inflection point as a company and want our team members to grow with us.
• Work in a low bureaucracy environment that allows you to do your job well.
• Work highly cross-functionally and learn about essentially every function within our business.

We are an equal opportunity employer and are committed to providing a positive interview experience for every candidate.
