Strategy & Operations Lead

About Sailor Health

Sailor Health is on a mission to reinvent aging in America. Getting older in America is tough: 90% of seniors live with chronic health conditions, 40% feel isolated, and older adults have the highest suicide rates of any age group. Sailor exists to change that.

Sailor Health is building the AI-native health system for happier and healthier aging. Sailor offers virtual mental health, care navigation, wellness classes, AI coaches, and AI care agents. Our vision is to become the trusted household name for older adults in America, setting a new standard for aging with dignity and honor.

We are doubling every 75 days and serving thousands of patients across 43 states. We are honored to have the support and backing of world-class founders from Ramp, Nourish, Headway, Charlie Health, and Spring Health.

Location: New York City, in office, 5 days a week.

We're hiring a Strategy & Operations Lead to join our core team at Sailor Health and work side-by-side with the founders to build at the intersection of healthcare and AI.

Your Key Responsibilities

We are growing very quickly, so we're looking for Swiss army knives who are excited to tackle different problems. We hire for people, not roles - but here's our best attempt at describing what you might work on:

• Launch a new care line: You could stand up and scale new offerings like care navigation, owning everything from workflow design to execution and performance.
• Own and scale a function: You could take over a core area like provider operations, RCM, or care navigation and drive it from scrappy to world-class.
• Drive AI transformation internally: You could deploy AI-powered tools, from vibe-coded internal apps to workflow automations, that unlock step-function improvements in how we operate.

• What We're Looking For

This role isn't for everyone. It's fast-paced, chaotic, and requires hard work. But if this excites you, we'd love to meet you.

• You're an A+ player: You have a hunger to win and a proven track record of being a top performer in high-intensity environments.
• You want to solve hard problems: You're energized by complexity and have the work ethic to push through challenges throughout the week.
• You're analytical and decisive: You're skilled in Excel/Google Sheets and can perform deep analyses to inform fast, high-quality decisions.
• You take work personally: You take pride in what you build and care deeply about the impact of your work.
• You're AI-native: You believe healthcare will be fundamentally transformed over the next decade and want to help drive that change in your day-to-day.
