Description

Surgo Health is a Public Benefit Corporation building the world’s most comprehensive and insightful AI-powered data platform that reveals the why behind people’s behaviors. We uncover the unseen drivers of health - people’s beliefs, barriers, and behaviors - and transform that intelligence into scalable products that enable healthcare organizations to drive impact, reduce costs, and advance inclusion. By revealing the human side of healthcare, we’re making it more personal, precise, and effective - for everyone.

This role calls for someone equally comfortable with long-term strategy and near-term execution, with the curiosity, creativity, and adaptability to make something new thrive.
