Head of People

**Who is Nest Health?** As the first value-based care provider built for families, Nest is on a mission to make comprehensive medical, behavioral, and social care radically accessible to America’s highest risk families. Founded in 2022 by Former Secretary of Health of Louisiana and practicing OB-GYN, Dr. Rebekah Gee, and Rebecca Kavoussi, Nest is the first-of-its-kind family-based, in-home, and virtual care model; this includes primary adult and pediatric care, mental health and nutrition support, vaccinations and labs, same-and-next-day acute visits, chronic condition and transitions of care management, social services and navigation, and more. Nest’s innovative model has resulted in partnerships, unlocking care for thousands of families across our markets. Nest’s early success has led to national traction across states and payers, laying the groundwork for future expansion to families across the United States. **What does it mean to be a part of a startup?** Working at a healthcare startup can be a unique experience with a fast-paced, ever-changing environment that can involve varied workloads, quick changes, and high expectations. Taking a position at a Healthcare startup allows for the opportunity to be high impact in disrupting the US healthcare system. You will have the chance to be creative, solution oriented, and have your voice heard! You will need to be flexible, accountable, and self-sufficient, and you might take on multiple roles. Here are some things you can expect: - *Role Breadth-* Your role may be less defined than in other settings, with the need to wear multiple hats & juggle various responsibilities - *Learning opportunities-* you will have the opportunity, at times, to function outside of your standard position and learn about new roles & areas - *Fast Paced-* Startups often must move faster than traditional large companies. This means you may be asked to cope with or advise on quick changes regarding systems or processes - *Autonomy-* You will need to be highly autonomous, as there is less structure and learning and development than at large orgs. This requires you to be able to learn asynchronously, as well as raise your hand when help is needed, or gaps are identified - *Collaboration-* With so many opportunities to build processes and improve how we deliver care to our patients, we rely heavily on one-another to communicate changes effectively to ensure seamless support across functions. This often requires this individual to give and receive feedback frequently and communicate challenges or opportunities effectively. # What is the purpose of this role? Nest exists to bring exceptional, compassionate care to families who've been underserved by the healthcare system. The Head of People exists to bring that same standard to our own team — building the organization that lets our clinicians keep showing up, every day, in markets most companies never reach. This is a foundational leadership role, reporting to the COO. The Head of People will own the full People function end-to-end — strategy, budget, team, and execution — and architect Nest's culture as we grow across markets. Recruiting is a top strategic priority, and this leader will personally own its strategy and results, alongside retaining and developing our existing team. You won't build this alone: you'll inherit a Lead Talent Acquisition partner and a People Operations generalist on day one, with room to grow the team as Nest's footprint expands. # What will you do? **Executive Leadership & Culture** ● Report to the COO and serve as a key leadership voice across the executive team on organizational design, workforce planning, succession, and culture. ● Own the People strategy, budget, and annual operating plan. ● Build and lead the People team, scaling a modern HR operating model as Nest grows. **Recruiting & Workforce Planning** ● Own enterprise recruiting strategy end-to-end — clinical and non-clinical — including employer brand and retention.…
