About The Position

Ansible Health is a virtual multi-speciality medical group that unites physicians, nurses, respiratory therapists, and tech experts from Columbia, Johns Hopkins, Google, Amazon, and other top institutions to revolutionize care for chronic disease patients. We combine elite clinical expertise with cutting-edge technology to deliver personalized, efficient care at scale. Backed by Bessemer, First Round Capital, AlleyCorp, Breyer Capital, and Inflect Capital, we're a Series A startup partnering with leading healthcare systems nationwide. Our mission is to genuinely improve patient outcomes, not just optimize metrics. If you're passionate about transforming healthcare through technology, join our diverse team in making a real impact. We are seeking a superstar registered nurse (RN) with a passion for caring for patients with complex chronic medical conditions, focusing on cardiac and respiratory disorders such as congestive heart failure and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). We are searching for a compassionate, smart, and slightly rebellious individual who has found their true calling in patient care, and who is pulled towards using their heart, soul, and mind in new and creative ways. If you are a self-driven and intellectually curious learner with a growth mindset, we would love to hear about this in your cover letter. If you make flashcards for self-study when you encounter an unfamiliar medical term or drug name; if you ask a lot of questions (particularly, “why”); if you enjoy brainstorming about patient care with your colleagues; if you have a secret mental list of ideas for care improvement, and are looking for the opportunity to try them out; if you sometimes brush your teeth for too long because you are lost in thought about a patient case; we would love to interview you. We believe in the raw potential of an individual to become the best clinician possible when immersed in a supportive environment with high-quality mentorship. You will be part of a team led by a nurse practitioner with a mix of respiratory therapists and registered nurses to provide direct care via telemedicine to patients suffering from advanced chronic lung and heart disease. We treat an elderly patient population that is medically complex, very ill at baseline, frequently hospitalized, and often burdened by psychosocial challenges. You will collaborate closely with your medical team members, often speaking multiple times per day with the supervising nurse practitioners, physicians, and medical directors. Intimately related to patient care, you will also play a role in promoting our program and answering questions from referring providers and practices as we become more established in your local community. This versatile role requires you to wear many different hats throughout the week, blending aspects of medical care, education, case management/social work, marketing, and advocacy. We believe in nurturing these transferable skills within one individual, rather than creating silos of expertise across rigid professional categories. This is an unorthodox approach that challenges the current trend in healthcare, which has moved towards more and more specialization, leading to further care fragmentation. We believe that the future of healthcare rests in the hands of a new kind of cross-functional clinician.
