Head of Talent

About Assured Assured is transforming the infrastructure of U.S. healthcare using intelligent automation. We’re building an AI-native system of action for provider operations to automate the most painful parts of healthcare—starting with credentialing, licensing, and payer enrollment. These are slow, error-prone processes that cost the healthcare system billions and delay patient care. We’re backed by top Silicon Valley investors and trusted by some of the most innovative provider groups and health systems. This is a rare opportunity to join an elite team reimagining one of the most broken parts of healthcare—using cutting‑edge AI in the real world, at scale. The Role: Founding Talent Partner We’re looking for a founding talent partner who is obsessed with finding, closing, and elevating exceptional people. You will build the foundation of hiring at Assured—from sourcing frameworks and pipelines to candidate experience, evaluation rubrics, and onboarding.

This is one of the highest‑leverage roles at Assured: the team you help build will determine our trajectory.
