About Curative

Curative is building the future of health insurance with a first-of-its-kind employer-based plan designed to remove financial barriers and make care truly accessible: one monthly premium with $0 copays and $0 deductibles*. Backed by our recent $150M in Series B funding and valuation at $1.275B
, Curative is scaling rapidly and investing in AI-powered service, deeper member engagement, and a smart network designed for today's workforce. Our north star guides everything we do:
healthcare only works when people can actually use it
. That belief drives every decision we make: from how we design our plan, support our members, to how we collaborate as a team. If you want to do meaningful work with a team that moves fast, experiments boldly, and cares deeply, Curative is the place to do it. We’re growing fast and looking for teammates who want to help transform health insurance for the better.

As the Lead Physician, you will serve as the clinical anchor for the launch of our Virtual Urgent Care service. While leveraging established AI frameworks and evidence-based protocols, you will be responsible for overseeing the clinical adoption of these tools, monitoring quality metrics, and serving as the primary liaison between the technology and the medical staff.
