Requirements
• Experience in startups, healthcare, consumer, AI, or other high-growth environments. • Existing network of exceptional operators, leaders, and rising talent across multiple functions. • OUR CULTURAL STANDARDS • We aim to make this your life’s work. This should be the most challenging, most rewarding role of your life. Accordingly, these are the core cultural standards to which we hold ourselves & our team-members: • 1. Belief in the mission: We will have served 100 million patients by the end of 2035 and we transform the life of most patients who join. We have a lot of work to do. We are obsessed with our patients and are dedicated to the mission. • 2. Unwavering integrity: We are at the frontier, so we often live in ambiguity with no trodden path. When we can’t look to others for guidance, we must maintain impeccable ethics and unwavering integrity. • 3. Only the paranoid survive: Bad sh*t is coming. By joining us, you’re choosing to sail straight towards the storms with unhesitating conviction. However much we’ve already done, however far we’ve already come — it’s still Day 1 and all our work is ahead of us. • 4. If we’re average we fail: We are only interested in “insanely great”, a focus on the quality of our execution that in everyday life would be considered pathological. We have a dedication to excellence and reject incompetence. • 5. Commitment to candor: That which can be destroyed by the truth should be. You get full transparency from the company and the company expects full transparency from you. We never say anything about someone that we wouldn’t say to them directly. We give feedback with love and do not need to protect people from fleeting physical sensations. • 6. A maniacal sense of urgency: We execute at an intensity that most people think is impossible. Speed is critical and we need things done yesterday. We all work very hard and in such a competitive world there really is no other way to win. • 7. Enduring frugality: We are frugal. We hate being wasteful and we are anti-luxury. A culture of cheapness keeps us young. We spend our cash wisely & carefully — in a way that would make our grandmas proud. • 8. Bulldozing barriers: The world is malleable and we shape it. We truly believe this and act accordingly. We are relentlessly resourceful and are at the mercy of no-one but ourselves. You’ll be shocked how capable you are and how much you can achieve. • 9. Keep your head down: We’re boring people doing exciting work. We don’t chase short-term status — we ignore short-term dopamine hits and focus on what matters. Outsiders will underestimate us and we revel in that. • 10. The power of focus: We live in a world of power laws and we cannot overestimate the unimportance of practically everything. Know your One Thing, and nail it. • 🎯 “You just build a f*ing amazing experience. Make each step amazing. Make every decision in the long term interest of the customer. Give the customer massively more value than you take.”
Responsibilities
• We want builders. Killers. Missionaries. Misfits. People with taste, judgment, grit, and unusually high standards. Your job is to find them, keep them, and help them do the best work of their lives. • Talent Acquisition: Build a world-class recruiting function that consistently finds and closes exceptional people across every function and level. Own hiring strategy, sourcing, process design, closing, and raising the bar over time. You should know how to spot unusual talent early - people others overlook, underestimate, or misunderstand. • Culture & Performance: Help create an environment where extraordinary people can do extraordinary work. That means high standards, candor, urgency, integrity, ownership, and intensity. It also means protecting what makes Aios special: our weirdness, our ambition, our refusal to become corporate, and our belief that mission-driven people can outperform larger and richer competitors. You’ll help ensure our best people are stretched, energized, improving, and proud to be here. • People Operations: Own the operational backbone of the company. Payroll, equity administration, onboarding, off-boarding, ATS, HRIS, compliance workflows, documentation, internal processes, benefits, and the countless unglamorous details that determine whether a company feels sharp or sloppy. You’ll build systems that scale without creating bureaucracy. • Proven track record hiring exceptional people who noticeably raised the bar of the teams around them. • Strong judgment on talent. You know how to spot real ability and ignore polish, credentials, titles, and corporate nonsense. • Experience building culture intentionally in fast-growing companies where top performers feel challenged, accountable, and proud to work. • Strong operator with the ability to build systems, process, and internal infrastructure that make a company sharper and faster. • High-agency leader who solves problems quickly, keeps standards high, communicates well, and has no patience for mediocrity or politics.
Benefits
• You get paid above market salary and you get early stage equity, so you get really rich if we nail this. • Compensation: $125k-200k/yr inc equity • The stuff below is cool as well. • Healthcare: comprehensive medical insurance (if appropriate). • Remote: our team is fully distributed across the world and functions fully remotely. • Personal development: budget for books, courses, coaching. • Personal wellness: budget for gym, health apps. • GLP-1s: free membership with a clinic offering GLP-1s. • Health coaching: free biweekly health coaching so you stay healthy. • Work coaching: free biweekly work coaching so you stay sharp + calm. • Equipment: Macbook & work-from-home equipment provided as needed.
