About The Position

About Fortuna Health We believe accessing healthcare should be as simple as doing your taxes on TurboTax. But for the millions on Medicaid, it’s not. Fortuna Health is redefining the consumer experience for Medicaid . We’re helping millions navigate Medicaid end-to-end from eligibility and enrollment to renewing coverage. We're backed by a16z, BoxGroup, YC, and top healthcare angels. We believe this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to dramatically improve the human condition for 90M people, and we need the help of high-throughput, growth-minded builders to make it happen. About the role What you'll do As an early operations hire at Fortuna, you’ll play a critical role in shaping how our service is delivered - and how our company scales. You will work directly on solving the most foundational problems for our clients and partners. We work fully in-person 5 days a week out of our NYC office, and believe deeply in the value of a focused, supportive, and tight-knit team. You will own the day-to-day execution of new implementations and manage ongoing client relationships. That means developing a deep understanding of Medicaid mechanisms, reconciling complex data sets, managing state approvals for communications, and owning a point of contact with a fast-growing list of health plan partners. You will touch data, policy, strategy, product, client management, and everything in between. This is a high-ownership role with direct client visibility. You should not be afraid to be seen as the “expert” in the room; in fact, you are expected to be one (eventually—no prior expertise needed to apply). From day one, you will help design how our clients manage millions of Medicaid lives across the country. We do not take this task lightly, and neither should you. You understand that dropping balls is unacceptable. You will build your own processes to stay organized and make sure you are on top of it all. In your previous role, you may have interfaced or worked with one or two clients at a time. Here, you start at a dozen.

Exceptional written and verbal communication—the idea of presenting to a room of senior leadership doesn’t scare you; it excites you
