## About the role

You are the clinical leader of Hera. From day one, the full care team — Heroes and their clinical supervisors — report to you, and clinicians practice under your medical direction. You own the standard of what worthy care looks like, how it's measured, and how it gets delivered. And you'll stay close to the work: you'll see patients occasionally, because the person setting the standard of care should never be far from the work.

## What they're looking for

- You're a physician. MD required, board certified in internal medicine, geriatrics, or family medicine. You'll serve as medical director of record from day one. You hold an active, unrestricted license and can obtain licensure in additional states as we grow
- You've spent 7+ years caring for complex, high-acuity patients. Geriatrics is ideal, but what matters is that you deeply understand this population: hospital discharges, polypharmacy, dementia and what keeps them out of the hospital
- You've delivered care beyond the four walls. You've built or run virtual, home-based, or hybrid care models and know how to maintain clinical quality when care happens over the phone, on video, and in living rooms, not just in clinic
- You're a builder, not a figure head. This is a 0→1 role. You'd rather define the rubric than inherit one. You're rigorous about what's working, obsessed with measurement, and willing to do the unglamorous work of getting the details right yourself
- You believe software is a clinical tool. You get genuinely excited about encoding your judgment into a product that makes every care manager perform like your best one
- Partners trust you fast. Health system executives, geriatricians, and payers walk away from a conversation with you believing their patients are safer with Hera
