Founding Medical Director – Assisted Living Care

Compensation: $275,000–$325,000 + equity stake

We’re launching a next-generation post-acute care startup focused on transforming how healthcare is delivered in assisted living communities. As our Founding Medical Director, you will be Employee #1 on the clinical leadership team—helping shape care delivery, build clinical programs, and establish scalable systems to support growth across California and beyond.

This is a ground-floor opportunity with founder-level equity and a clear 5-year exit plan. We're looking for a bold, forward-thinking physician who sees the opportunity to lead innovation in elder care from the inside out.

What You’ll Lead

• Clinical Oversight Across Communities: Serve as Medical Director for our partner assisted living communities, ensuring high-quality, compliant, and patient-centered care.
• Model Development: Build and refine scalable protocols for chronic condition management, behavioral health integration, and transitional care.
• Team Leadership: Recruit, mentor, and oversee a network of physicians and nurse practitioners across multiple locations.
• Partnership Building: Collaborate with community leadership, nursing teams, and families to coordinate care and reduce hospitalizations.
• Tech + Workflow Design: Influence the buildout of our EHR and care management tools to streamline clinical workflows.
• Quality + Compliance: Monitor outcomes, lead QA efforts, and ensure compliance with all regulatory and licensing requirements.

What We Offer

• Equity & Leadership: This is a founder-level position with a meaningful stake in the company and a seat at the leadership table.
• Clinical Autonomy: No hospital privileges or on-call duties. Your focus is care delivery in assisted living settings—on your own schedule.
• Backed by Operators Who Get It: We’ve built and scaled healthcare businesses. You’ll be supported by a high-performing ops team and innovative technology infrastructure.
• Scalable Impact: Your work will impact hundreds of residents immediately—and thousands more as we grow.
• Start Smart, Grow Fast: We provide you with optimized routing, admin support, and a care team that works alongside you.

What We’re Looking For

• Board-certified MD or DO in Internal Medicine, Family Medicine, or Geriatrics
• Minimum 3 years of clinical leadership or medical director experience (preferred in senior care or post-acute settings)
• California medical license and DEA in good standing
• Entrepreneurial mindset, with a passion for improving care for older adults
• Strong communication, leadership, and systems-thinking abilities
• $275,000–$325,000 annual base
• Founder-level equity
• Paid time off & malpractice insurance

This is not a hospitalist or SNF role. We provide high-touch primary and preventive care directly within assisted living settings. We’re building the future of post-acute care. Join us from day one.

We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity in leadership.
