About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

You will build Clarity's People and Talent function from a small, scrappy base into one that can support a Series B and the FTE growth that follows.
Hire new clinicians (MD, NP, behavioral) across many states on the operating plan timeline. Clinical FTE growth is a top-line company OKR — you own the People side of it end-to-end, including partnership with Provider Ops to ensure rapid credentialing and manage multi-state licensing logistics.
Hit time-to-hire targets of 2-4 weeks for clinical roles and quickly help close corporate roles. You’ll continue to deliver >90% candidate accept rates.
Build the "People playbook" for entering a new state: employment law, credentialing plans, payroll/benefits configuration, local talent market mapping.
Evolve our employee pulse/eNPS program in the first 90 days. Drive regrettable clinical attrition below 10% by year-end. Stand up a manager enablement cadence — performance management, comp planning, leveling — so our managers are getting better, not just busier.
Be a thought partner to the leadership team on our clinical/ops/tech/growth dyad model: levels, spans, succession, comp framework. The org will evolve materially between now and Series B — you're a co-architect.

Requirements

What you’ll need

7–12 years in People/HR leadership, with hands-on scaling experience taking a company from roughly 30 to 150+ FTE
Direct experience hiring clinicians in a multi-state environment — ideally Medicaid/managed care or pediatrics, definitely with exposure to credentialing, state licensing, and various provider employment models
Demonstrated player-coach orientation. Comfortable owning a clinical leadership search yourself this quarter and managing a recruiting team
Deep multi-state employment law fluency (CA is table stakes; TX and at least one other state are a strong plus)
Data-driven, problem-solving operator instincts: you make decisions with data when available but embrace ambiguity when you need to. You measure your own function to unlock higher performance.
Clear leadership abilities: you can independently build strategy, identify priorities and risks, communicate at a senior level (including with our board and investors) and uplevel everyone around you
