Strategy & Operations, Healthcare - Patient Operations

About Sprinter Health At Sprinter Health, our mission is reimagining how people access care by bringing it directly to their homes. Nearly 30% of patients in the U.S. skip preventive or chronic care simply because they can’t get to a doctor’s office. For many, the ER becomes their first touchpoint with the healthcare system, driving over $300B in avoidable costs every year. By using the same technologies that power leading marketplace and last-mile platforms, we deliver care where people are, especially those who need it most. To date, we’ve supported more than 2 million patients across 22+ states, completed hundreds of thousands of in-home visits, and consistently maintained a 90+ NPS. Our team of clinicians, technologists, and operators has raised over $125M from investors including a16z, General Catalyst, GV, and Accel.

We’re looking for a Senior Associate, Strategy & Operations to join our Patient Operations team and help improve the systems that connect patients to the care they need. This is a high-ownership, cross-functional role for someone who combines structured problem solving with hands-on operational execution. You’ll work closely with the VP of Patient Operations and partner across Clinical Operations, Product, Engineering, and frontline teams to identify where patient workflows are breaking, design practical solutions, test them manually, and help turn what works into scalable systems. This role is especially well suited to someone who has worked in a healthcare, health-tech, clinical operations, payer/provider, or patient-facing environment and understands that operational details directly affect care delivery. We are looking for someone who can bring both analytical rigor and real-world healthcare operating judgment to problems like appointment completion, patient re-engagement, scheduling workflows, service expansion, and frontline execution. The right person is comfortable moving between strategy and execution. One day, you may be analyzing appointment completion data and building a case for where to focus. The next, you may be coordinating contractor schedules, re-engaging patients who missed a scheduling window, or running a manual pilot to prove a new workflow before it gets productized. This role is ideal for someone with experience in consulting, banking, business operations, strategy and operations, or health-tech operations who wants to own meaningful patient operations problems in a fast-growing startup. You should be energized by ambiguity, motivated by patient impact, and comfortable operating without a fully defined playbook. Office Location This role is based in our San Francisco office . We operate on a hybrid schedule, working from the office Monday through Thursday, with Fridays designated as work-from-anywhere days. We care deeply about work-life balance and are happy to provide flexibility when life happens. We ask that employees be in the San Francisco office Monday through Thursday to collaborate with their teams while maintaining flexibility where it matters most. Lunch is provided every day, and the entire team takes an hour to eat together. It’s one of the ways we stay connected outside of meetings. You’ll usually find us playing a board game before getting back to work.
