Benchmark Health is a venture-backed public benefit corporation committed to helping individuals navigate the complex behavioral health landscape by connecting them to the right care at the right time, whether it be therapy, psychiatry, peer support, and/or other resources. Our unique model leverages technology and human relationships to prioritize clinical quality and patient experience in order to make effective mental healthcare more accessible to all. By partnering with all stakeholders in the mental health space, we are building a scalable solution that aims to transform the mental health journey for millions. Founded by serial entrepreneurs and clinicians with deep domain knowledge, Benchmark is on a clear path to national scale and impact.

As Benchmark grows, this role will evolve — offering opportunities to help shape new processes and operational frameworks that enable scale. You’ll thrive in a startup environment that values systems thinking, precision, and innovation. We’re looking for someone who can balance strategic foresight with hands-on operational execution.
