Marigold Health is looking for our first Director of Growth to oversee and grow our network of health plan and provider relationships.
This person will report directly to the CEO and play a key role in building out our business development function as we enter a period of high growth. Their efforts will be focused on 2 key areas. First, they will act as a force multiplier in our sales efforts with new and existing health plan partners, primarily Medicaid MCOs.

Second, they will manage a team of localized managers in each of our markets tasked with driving patient acquisition through agreements with other healthcare providers. This will include designing market-specific strategies to hit enrollment targets and identifying opportunities where provider and health plan needs intersect.
If you're excited to apply your expertise in the healthcare system to broaden access to mental health and substance use care at a high-growth startup, we want to hear from you.

More About Our Company
Marigold Health is an early-stage, rapidly growing startup providing services for a range of community based mental health and substance use treatment providers as well as national health insurers. We collaborate with eminent investigators at Brown University and Johns Hopkins and have been publicly recognized by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) and the American Psychiatric Association.
Our program is a combination of 1-1 coaching and 24/7 anonymous chat support groups accessed over phone, SMS, and app/web. On the backend, proprietary natural language processing tools scale our peer workforce by augmenting group moderation, automating patient outreach, and sending sentiment-based “alerts” to coordinate care with other providers. Following strong results from our first clinical studies, we are entering a period of rapid growth, and expect to expand from 2 states today to 12 by this time next year.
Our core values are authenticity, candor, and ambition. Inclusion is at the core of what we do. We’re working to bring care to the most underserved and stigmatized patients. We actively welcome applicants from a wealth of different backgrounds (including but not limited to race, gender, educational background, and sexual orientation). We must have diversity on our team and in our mindsets to be successful in moving the needle on the deeply entrenched and systematic challenges we face.
Marigold Health is an equal opportunity employer.
