About Pivotal Health
Pivotal Health is the leading technology platform that helps healthcare providers get paid fairly in an increasingly complex reimbursement landscape.
Today, many providers face persistent underpayment from health insurance companies, despite delivering high-quality care. While processes like IDR (Independent Dispute Resolution) were designed to promote fairness, they’re often administrative-heavy, time-consuming, and difficult to navigate without the right tools.
Pivotal Health combines software, data, and service into a seamlessly integrated, AI-driven platform that simplifies these complex reimbursement workflows. We help providers efficiently dispute underpaid claims, reduce administrative burden, and recover the reimbursement they’re entitled to; without adding more work to already stretched teams.
Our full-service IDR solution is just the starting point. We’re building solutions that enable providers to operate with clarity, control, and confidence across the reimbursement journey.
About the Role
We’re hiring a People Operations Generalist to own the systems, processes, and day-to-day infrastructure that make the employee experience work at Pivotal. You’ll sit at the center of everything: onboarding, compliance, Rippling, Ashby, benefits, and the operational backbone of a scaling People team.
This is a high-ownership, high-visibility role reporting directly to the VP of People. You’ll be our first dedicated People Ops hire, which means you’ll have real influence over how the function is built as we grow to 150 employees and beyond.
What You’ll Do
Onboarding & Offboarding
Own end-to-end onboarding coordination: I-9s, Day 1 prep, and new hire checklist management
Maintain and improve the onboarding program as we scale
Manage offboarding operational processes with care and consistency
People Systems & Data
Own Rippling: employee data, system integrations, access provisioning, and ongoing admin
Support Ashby configuration: interview scheduling, rec IDs, pod setup, and automation
Build and maintain People and talent dashboards and hiring metrics for leadership reporting
Compliance & HR Operations
Track and follow up on compliance items: training completion, benefits enrollment, payroll setup
Manage background check process and ensure documentation is current
Support benefits administration, open enrollment, and employee questions
Maintain accurate records in Rippling and flag issues proactively
Recruiting Operations Support
Support the Recruiting team with coordination overflow during high-volume periods
Prepare and send offer letters
Pull recruiting reports: time-to-fill, pipeline status, agency activity
People Team Operations
Serve as a first point of contact for routine employee HR inquiries, providing guidance on HR policies, benefits, and People processes
Own Notion-based People knowledge base: policies, guides, process documentation
Help build scalable processes as we grow: things that work at 50 employees often don’t at 150
Technology & Process
Leverage AI tools to streamline administrative tasks, improve knowledge management, and enhance employee self-service resources
Partner cross-functionally with Finance, IT, and Legal on compliance and process improvements
Document and standardize SOPs to create scalable, repeatable processes
Continuously evaluate People systems and tools to improve efficiency, employee experience, and data accuracy
Who You Are
3-5 years in People Ops, HR Operations, or a generalist HR role, ideally at a startup or high-growth company
Hands-on experience with Rippling or a comparable HRIS (Workday, Gusto, Bamboo)
Familiarity with ATS tools; Ashby experience is a plus
Strong attention to detail: you catch things, follow through, and don’t let items fall through the cracks
Comfortable operating in ambiguity and building process where little exists
Excellent communicator who can explain benefits enrollment to a new hire and a compliance issue to legal in the same day
Genuinely curious about HR technology, automation, and how AI can make People teams more effective
Extra Credit Experience
Background in healthcare, healthtech, or a regulated industry
Experience supporting a People function through a high-growth scaling phase (50 to 150+ employees)
Why You’ll Love Working Here
We’re a collaborative, low-ego team on a mission to make healthcare reimbursement fairer for providers. While we primarily hire around our core hubs–Los Angeles and New York–we remain open to exceptional talent outside those regions. Remote and hybrid flexibility varies by role and team, and is outlined in each job description.
If you’re excited by solving complex problems and making a real-world impact, we’d love to hear from you.
Benefits Include:
Competitive compensation, including equity
Full health, dental, and vision coverage
Retirement savings plan through 401(k)
Flexible time off
Opportunities for company-wide connection and events
Ready to Make an Impact?
We’re building something meaningful; and we want you on the team.
Bring your ideas, curiosity, and drive, and let’s transform healthcare reimbursement together.
