What does it mean to be a part of a startup?

Working at a healthcare startup can be fast-paced and evolving, with varied workloads, quick changes, and high expectations. You will have opportunities to be high impact in disrupting the US healthcare system, be creative, solution-oriented, and have your voice heard. You will need to be flexible, accountable, and self-sufficient, and you might take on multiple roles. Here are some things you can expect:

• Role Breadth
  - Your role may be less defined than in other settings, with the need to wear multiple hats and juggle various responsibilities

• Learning opportunities
  - You will have the opportunity, at times, to function outside of your standard position and learn about new roles and areas

• Fast Paced
  - Startups often move faster than traditional large companies, and you may be asked to cope with or advise on quick changes regarding systems or processes

• Autonomy
  - You will need to be highly autonomous, with less structure and learning and development than at large orgs. This requires you to learn asynchronously and raise your hand when help is needed

• Collaboration
  - We rely on one another to communicate changes effectively to ensure seamless support across functions, and this often requires giving and receiving feedback frequently and communicating challenges or opportunities effectively
