Chief Medical Officer

Boston, MA - Remote

Who we are. . .

Pearl Health is restoring the independence and joy of practicing medicine for doctors in the United States. Our healthcare system has burdened our doctors with too much process, while removing them from what they do best: caring for those we love most. We are a team of physicians and public health experts (Stanford, Dartmouth, Harvard, Mass. General), technologists (athenahealth, Apple, Amazon, Meta, Flatiron, WalMart Health), healthcare innovators (Oscar, Aledade, Stellar, Arcadia) and experienced risk management professionals (CVS/Aetna, Humana, Cigna, United) who believe that primary care providers (PCPs) are the key to the United States’  future health. Our investors include Andreessen Horowitz, Viking Global Investors, AlleyCorp, and SV Angel. 

Pearl Health helps PCPs who are overwhelmed by the demands of an aging population and the unpredictable business model inherent to Medicare. Over time, this solution will empower PCPs to provide better care to the country. We believe there is a need to bring humanism back to healthcare by giving physicians the ability to better allocate their time with patients, increasing their autonomy, creating incentives that are aligned with achieving better outcomes through clinical decision-making powered by actionable intelligence, and making risk more available and more readily optimized through an intelligent marketplace. 

 

The role. . . 

We are seeking a highly experienced and visionary Chief Medical Officer (CMO) to join our executive team. The CMO will play a crucial role in guiding Pearl Health's clinical strategy, driving performance improvements in partner practices, enhancing our brand through thought leadership, and supporting our Growth team. This is a unique opportunity to shape the future of value-based care and make a significant impact on healthcare delivery.

 

Key responsibilities include:

Clinical Guidance and Leadership:

  • Provide expert clinical guidance to internal teams, ensuring alignment with the latest medical standards and best practices.
  • Collaborate with product, data science, and operations teams to ensure clinical relevance and efficacy of our solutions.
  • Lead clinical quality initiatives and continuous improvement efforts across the organization.

Physician Engagement:

  • Collaborate with the Growth team to support business development efforts and represent Pearl Health in pitches to provider organizations.
  • Leverage your clinical expertise and trusted physician voice to build credibility with prospective clients.
  • Assist in crafting compelling value propositions and tailored solutions for potential partners.

Thought Leadership and Brand Building:

  • Serve as an external evangelist for Pearl Health, promoting our capabilities and vision in the healthcare industry.
  • Build and enhance Pearl Health's brand through thought leadership, speaking engagements, publications, and participation in industry events.
  • Foster relationships with key stakeholders, including healthcare providers, payers, policymakers, and industry leaders.

Performance Improvement and Shared Savings:

  • Support Pearl Health and its partner practices’ efforts to achieve shared savings through improved clinical performance and patient outcomes.
  • Work with Pearl’s performance teams to develop and implement strategies to enhance care coordination and patient engagement.
  • Collaborate with Pearl’s data scientists to analyze clinical and financial data to identify opportunities for improvement and track progress towards goals.

Who you are. . . 

  • MD or DO with an active medical license.
  • A minimum of 10 years of clinical practice experience, preferably with a focus on primary care, clinical informatics or population health.
  • Proven track record of leadership in a healthcare organization, preferably in value-based care or healthcare technology.
  • Deep understanding of Medicare and value-based care models.
  • Strong analytical skills and the ability to interpret complex clinical and financial data.
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to engage and influence diverse audiences.
  • Demonstrated thought leadership through publications, presentations, and industry involvement preferred.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
