About 9am Health

We’re creating a new standard of care.

9amHealth is specialized cardiometabolic care —a first-of-its-kind, whole-body approach to preventing and treating obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol, and help with weight management. We offer custom care plans, prescription medications, and expert guidance to help our members live healthier every day.

9amHealth was founded in 2021 by the team behind mySugr (acquired by Roche in 2017) and has brought together a team of leaders from across cardiometabolic healthcare along with the backing of leading investors like Cigna Ventures, 7Wire Ventures, and Founders Fund.

What it is: We are seeking a skilled and compassionate Telehealth Nurse Practitioner (NP) to join our best-in-class care team. As a Telehealth NP, you will play a crucial role in providing high-quality remote medical care to patients living with diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure, and dyslipidemia. You will collaborate closely with our multidisciplinary team to deliver personalized care plans, monitor patient progress, and empower individuals to manage their health effectively.

• Collaborate with our team of dietitians, health coaches, pharmacists, physicians, and patient care advocates to coordinate whole-body care and support patient wellness goals.

• Utilize telehealth technology and a custom electronic health records (EHR) system efficiently to document patient encounters, update medical records, and communicate with the care team.

• Stay abreast of the latest developments in cardiometabolic medicine, telehealth practices, and digital health technologies through internal education activities.

• Adhere to regulatory requirements, privacy laws, and company policies to ensure compliance with telemedicine standards and safeguard patient confidentiality.

What you’ll need:

What you can expect at 9amHealth: At 9amHealth, you'll join the exciting environment of a startup with the stability of highly experienced founders who have successfully built a business from scratch. We foster a collaborative learning mindset and a passion for improvement. You'll work with an ever-evolving product alongside a small, flexible team of people eager to shape technology, infrastructure, and culture.

Our team members are spread across the globe, with physical sites in San Diego, California, and Vienna, Austria, but we value your culture regardless of where you work.

We offer competitive compensation and benefits, including health, vision, dental plans, and a generous allotment of vacation days (for full-time employees). Our working model allows for flexibility for certain positions. Some employees work from home and some in the office, though we prefer candidates who can be based out of our San Diego office.

Our commitment to diversity and inclusion: Diabetes disproportionately impacts BIPOC (black, indigenous, and people of color) communities. We are committed to creating a workforce that reflects our patients and creating a positive healthcare experience for them. We welcome applications from people of color, LGBTQ+ individuals, people with disabilities, members of ethnic minorities, and foreign-born residents.
