Head of People

Arine • San Francisco, CA

2d • Hybrid

About The Position

Based in San Francisco, Arine is a rapidly growing healthcare technology and clinical services company with a mission to ensure individuals receive the safest and most effective treatments for their unique and evolving healthcare needs. Arine is redefining what excellent healthcare looks like by solving these issues through our software platform (SaaS). We combine cutting edge data science, machine learning, AI, and deep clinical expertise to introduce a patient-centric view to medication management, and develop and deliver personalized care plans on a massive scale for patients and their care teams. Arine is committed to improving the lives and health of complex patients that have an outsized impact on healthcare costs and have traditionally been difficult to identify and address. Backed by leading healthcare investors and collaborating with top healthcare organizations and providers, we deliver recommendations and facilitate clinical interventions that lead to significant, measurable health improvements for patients and cost savings for customers. The Role: You will be joining an SLT that values a close and solutions-focused partnership with the People Team, a CEO who is thoughtful and detail-oriented, and a CFO who is your closest operational partner. You will inherit a strong team and a solid infrastructure foundation. This is not a role for someone who wants to run a steady-state People function. Arine is in an active growth phase with real cultural complexity, a workforce that spans different operating models, and an SLT that moves fast. What the organization needs now is someone who can take that foundation and grow the culture and talent strategy layer on top of it.
