The Role
Turquoise Health is on a mission to simplify healthcare pricing — and we’re looking for someone who knows how to get stuff done. As Strategy & Operations Manager, you’ll be a key player in driving both customer value and internal alignment.
You’ll lead projects that are critical to our growth, working across departments and directly with senior leaders to shape and execute our strategic roadmap. You’ll guide customer-facing initiatives, support high-priority business decisions, and help streamline how we operate as a company.
This role is part strategist, part operator, and part air traffic controller — making sure big ideas don’t get stuck in meetings or lost in slide decks. If you bring structure to chaos, think clearly under pressure, and know how to make teams work better together, you’ll do well here. Strong opinions, held loosely, encouraged.
We strongly encourage BIPOC, people with disabilities, and LGBTQIA+ folks to apply for any open roles of interest. Building a truly diverse team is a challenge that we do not shy away from. Healthcare affects all people differently, but it significantly affects those in underserved communities. With a robust, diverse team, we are stronger and better equipped to change the future of healthcare for all.

We're a Series B startup backed by top VCs a16z, Box Group, Bessemer Venture Partners, Tiger Global, Adams Street, and Yosemite. Most importantly, we're an accomplished group of folks (moonlighting as authors, bass players, improv instructors, chefs, linguists, and trivia buffs) with a passion for improving healthcare. We're eager to find ambitious and well-rounded teammates to join us on this mission.
