Remote – work from home

Guaranteed 32 hours/week to flex up to 40 hours

Vivante Health is an innovative startup backed by leading digital health investors, reinventing how chronic conditions are managed. We’re filling the unmet needs of people with chronic conditions that are invisible, neglected, or stigmatized, starting with digestive disease.

Why digestive? Because an astonishing 70 million people in the US are affected—that’s twice the number with diabetes and more than many other chronic conditions combined. Unlike other chronic conditions, though, digestive diseases often go untreated or misdiagnosed…because of stigma.

At Vivante, we think it’s time to bring digestive health to the forefront while providing REAL solutions to the millions who are struggling and don’t know where to turn. Our health management ecosystem, GIThrive, empowers people—through brilliant technology and advanced science—to spend less time worrying about their digestive symptoms and more time living life. GIThrive is the first and only employer-sponsored program for digestive health.

We’re a young company, but our collective experience in clinical care, patient education, and consumer technology is unmatched. If you have the knowledge, passion, and experience to enhance our team and the idea of working for a fast-paced startup excites you, we’d love to hear from you.

With a remote-first, US, and global workforce, we’re changing the way healthcare is delivered. We are not currently accepting candidates who reside outside the US for this position.
