About Pivotal Health

Pivotal Health delivers full-service Independent Dispute Resolution (IDR) technology to help providers recover fair reimbursement with less administrative burden. Backed by Bessemer.

About the role

We're hiring Pivotal's Head of Security, a senior leader who will own the company's security program from the ground up. This is a rare opportunity to define what security looks like at a fast-growing, AI-native healthcare technology company handling sensitive provider data and complex financial workflows.

What they're looking for

  • 8+ years of experience in security, with meaningful exposure to both technical implementation and program-level strategy
  • Strong working knowledge of cloud security, infrastructure security, and application security fundamentals, enough to engage credibly with engineering teams and evaluate tradeoffs
  • Experience building or significantly maturing a security program, ideally at an early-stage or high-growth company
  • Hands-on experience with compliance frameworks (SOC 2, HIPAA, or similar) including control design, audit preparation, and ongoing management
  • Comfortable representing security externally to customers, auditors, and partners with the communication skills to make complex topics accessible
  • A collaborator and influencer, not just a gatekeeper: you know how to bring stakeholders along and build trust across functions
More about this role

Pivotal Health is the leading technology platform that helps healthcare providers get paid fairly in an increasingly complex reimbursement landscape.

Today, many providers face persistent underpayment from health insurance companies, despite delivering high-quality care. While processes like IDR (Independent Dispute Resolution) were designed to promote fairness, they’re often administrative-heavy, time-consuming, and difficult to navigate without the right tools.

Pivotal Health combines software, data, and service into a seamlessly integrated, AI-driven platform that simplifies these complex reimbursement workflows. We help providers efficiently dispute underpaid claims, reduce administrative burden, and recover the reimbursement they’re entitled to; without adding more work to already stretched teams.

Our full-service IDR solution is just the starting point. We’re building solutions that enable providers to operate with clarity, control, and confidence across the reimbursement journey.
