About Clipboard

Our mission is to uplift as many communities as possible. We do this through our app-based marketplace that connects healthcare professionals with the workplaces that need amazing workers. This enables hundreds of thousands of people to achieve financial stability for themselves and their families while providing essential care to millions of people across the U.S.

Founded in 2016, we are a remote-first team of over 1,000 people building a top Y-Combinator company and have been profitable since 2022. We’re the leader in Long-Term Care staffing and are rapidly expanding into Home Health, Hospitals, and more, meaning we have more work to do than people to do it, and are growing our team to support millions more people and their communities.

Clipboard Health is a marketplace that connects healthcare facilities with professionals looking for shifts.

Our largest customers operate at significant scale, and their problems don't always fit neatly into a single team or function. A product implementation might stall because of an operational workflow. A payroll issue might involve the customer, our Operations team, Product, and Engineering. An integration might technically work but fail to work for the people actually using it.

We need someone who can step into those situations and figure them out.

As a Forward Deployed Analyst
, you'll work directly with some of our most important enterprise customers to solve complex operational and product problems. You'll get close to the customer, understand how their business actually works, diagnose what's going wrong, and coordinate the people needed to fix it.

You won't necessarily have direct authority over the teams doing the work. Instead, you'll create clarity, build alignment, and keep things moving.

Your job is to take a messy problem and turn it into a solved problem.

Some days that might mean analyzing data to understand why a customer's staffing workflow isn't working. Other days might involve coordinating a complex implementation across Product, Engineering, and Operations, troubleshooting a payroll or time clock issue, or working with a customer's leadership team to get a stalled initiative back on track.

The problems will change. The expectation won't:
you own the outcome.
