About The Position

Oula is seeking a Certified Nurse-Midwife (CNM) to join its growing maternity care practice. The role delivers full-spectrum perinatal care and helps shape and refine Oula’s clinical care model. Midwives lead their own patient panels in a collaborative practice where OB-GYNs are integrated team members, and patients deliver at Oula’s partner hospital, Novant Health Presbyterian Medical Center.

At steady-state staffing, a typical schedule includes approximately two office days per week, an average of 24 hours of on-call coverage per week, a protected post-call day off where applicable, and dedicated administrative and didactic time. During new-market launches and other ramp-up periods, scheduling needs, including on-call responsibilities, may temporarily increase. Oula provides maternity and related care through clinics, its partner hospital, and virtual settings. The company describes its approach as research-backed and focused on patient-centered, judgment-free care and improved outcomes. It offers a competitive total rewards package that includes base salary and comprehensive benefits.
