About the Role
Sidecar Health is building out its public policy function, and this is the first dedicated role in it. You’ll be our eyes and ears in Washington and in state capitals, tracking the legislation, regulation, and political developments that shape consumer-directed health insurance, and turning that noise into clear positions and recommendations for our leadership team. You’ll also carry our story to the Hill, to federal agencies, and to coalition partners, building the relationships that help policymakers understand how a more transparent, affordable insurance model works for the people it covers.
