Job Description:

OUR MISSION

Calibrate's mission is to change the way the world treats weight. We're defining a new category in metabolic health that mirrors what the research shows-that weight reflects our biology, not our willpower. Our program was designed by world leaders in obesity and nutrition science to improve metabolic health and drive long-term weight loss that's impactful, realistic, and sustainable.

Obesity is America's underlying pandemic and largest category of chronic disease, and Calibrate is closing the gap in care for 175mm adults in a $600bn market where we spend millions of dollars each year and do not lose millions of pounds.

To bring Calibrate to everyone who needs it, we're building the first telemedicine business within the healthcare ecosystem, aligning incentives for consumers, doctors, insurers, and pharmaceutical companies. We've built a proprietary Vertical Pharmacy Engine to connect our members to the most efficient path to insurance coverage, paving the way for a new model of chronic disease care.

Calibrate's first product, the One-Year Metabolic Reset, brings decades of clinical research directly to consumers through a virtual program combining FDA-approved prescription medication with intensive lifestyle intervention. The 52-week structured program includes biweekly 1:1 video coaching and curriculum that spans classes, recipes, workouts, and more. A purpose-built app enables daily tracking of food, energy level, weight, and bi-weekly goals and helps members interact with their Coaching and Medical teams, while a members' group and events calendar create additional opportunities to tap into the Calibrate community.

Calibrate's recently launched Masters Program keeps members engaged and supported in their metabolic health beyond their first year with the same evidence-based approach that defines Calibrate's One-Year Metabolic Reset, at a lower cost. The result is a program that sustains and builds on members' results with improved whole-body health that enables them to embrace a new day-to-day.

About The Role

A modern approach to weight health requires modern practices, and that means radically remodeling how intensive lifestyle intervention programs operate and scale. As part of our clinical care team, you'll deliver several critical components of the Calibrate program: face-to-face video patient assessments, confirmation of clinical appropriateness for clinical care pathways, introduction to our method, and setting program plans with members.

In addition to providing exceptional patient care, your feedback on how we can continue to improve our program to help patients achieve-and maintain-their weight-loss goals will help shape and improve the program.

OUR VALUES

We're in it together : We have an audacious mission, and we're building a lot of things for the first time - from the first DTC pharma business within the healthcare ecosystem to the data infrastructure for providing real-world evidence in the largest category of chronic disease. It takes superpowers to build something simple and intuitive within the complex healthcare market, so we identify and work as a team from our individual points of strength. Not everyone has to be good at everything, but we know that when we harness what we're each great at, we're unstoppable.

Small wins create big wins : We ground every experience in optimism, recognizing and celebrating successes along the way. We break projects down into smaller components. And we focus on where we have momentum. We always plan for larger goals with the knowledge that our plans will evolve as we achieve smaller milestones.

You're in control : While we're headquartered in New York, we don't let location stand in the way of the best talent - and from coaches to engineers, many of us are fully remote. Our business is multi-faceted, so each Calibrater is hired to be an expert in their piece of it - in control of their own initiatives, in control of their own impact, and in control of driving their own (real) results.

Real results matter : We're obsessed with outcomes because when our members win, we win, and the data proves that we've built the best metabolic health program on the market. We're purposeful, optimistic, and relentlessly confident that we can solve the biggest medical issue of the 21st century.

Calibrate recruits, employs, compensates, and promotes regardless of race, religion, color, national origin, gender identity, disability, age, veteran status, and other protected status as required by applicable law and as a matter of our company values.
