Senior Manager, Government & Regulatory Affairs

About J2 Health:

At J2 Health, we know that healthcare is complicated and falls short of what consumers deserve. J2 wants to change that by focusing on transforming a critical and underserved part of the healthcare ecosystem– provider networks. 

As individuals, it’s difficult to find the right doctor that meets our medical and personal needs, at affordable costs. Doing their best with unreliable data and disjointed manual processes, healthcare organizations struggle with this too as they decide which doctors should be included in-network on our health insurance plans. 

J2 Health brings together best-in-class data and purpose-built software to enable healthcare organizations to optimize provider network performance. We use our technology and data-driven insights to power healthcare’s best networks and deliver highest value care to patients.

We’re a team of industry insiders, data experts, and technologists, backed by leading VCs like Tiger Global and Primary Ventures. Having successfully found product-market fit, we are scaling our solution that is already delivering measurable value to healthcare providers. We are looking for like-minded team members who are not afraid to get their hands dirty and are interested in building a mission-driven healthcare company.
