Job Description

Position Overview

Wellth is seeking a Head of Population Health to join our fast-growing, growth-stage digital health company. This transformative role is crucial as we aim to become an industry leader in communicating unique outcomes for challenging populations. You will translate our daily behavior change data into comprehensive cost-of-care and quality impact, accelerate payer expectations by demonstrating hard ROI, unlock the value of Wellth's data asset, and foster cross-functional collaboration.

About Wellth

Wellth is a digital health company headquartered in Los Angeles, dedicated to motivating individuals with chronic conditions to make healthier choices daily. We leverage behavioral economics, habit science, and AI to drive lasting behavior change in underserved populations (Medicare and Medicaid), significantly improving their quality of life and health outcomes. Our proven results with major insurers and health systems, including over 40% reduction in hospitalizations, are driving rapid scaling. We recently completed a Series C funding round with experienced healthcare investors, positioning us to become the category leader in improving health outcomes for hard-to-engage populations. A key differentiator for Wellth is our members' daily engagement, comparable to "TikTok-tier" daily usage and data generation. Our work directly saves lives by stabilizing chronic disease patients and preventing adverse health events. We are a mission-driven company where you will collaborate with exceptional talent and witness the tangible impact of your work.
