Our health system is broken, and it’s a huge problem. Costs are rising out of control while the patient experience gets worse. At Sana, we're passionate about fixing this problem by bringing accessible and affordable health plans to small and medium businesses. We've built an innovative team with top talent from across the health insurance and tech industries to create engaging, modern plans for our clients. This allows our customers to offer competitive benefits packages while paying an average of 20% less than traditional plans.

We are looking for a hard-working, empathetic person to join our member advocacy team. We’re building a team of social workers, patient advocates, health coaches, nutritionists, and nurses to support our members in solving everyday problems. 

We are building a distributed operations team and encourage all applicants to apply, regardless of location.
