About Collective Health

Work at Collective Health!

We’re a technology company working to create the healthcare experience we all deserve. Our team brings together a unique mix of experience from technology, design, product, finance, and healthcare to solve the hardest problems that get in the way of today’s healthcare experience. We’re always on the lookout for curious, smart and optimistic new members to join the Collective. 

The Collective Health Story

For a good overview of why we started Collective Health, read our founders’ blog post and watch their video. In a nutshell, we all deserve better so we’re rebuilding everything about how health benefits work for employers and their people.

Founded in 2013, our team of engineers, designers, product managers, and actuaries are redefining the $1 trillion-dollar market of employer-sponsored health insurance with data-driven and people-focused products. Some of the forward-thinking companies already using our product include: Activision Blizzard, Palantir, and Zendesk. We’re backed by some of the best investors in Silicon Valley including Google Ventures, Founders Fund, NEA, and Redpoint Ventures.

Who We Are

We believe in transparency, trust, and balance—across the company. We are inclusive, empathetic, and playful in how we approach our work. We put the overall customer experience first: from intuitive product design, to considered engineering, to caring customer support, to explaining things in plain English, to developing data and analytics that actually mean something to our customers and members. 

What We're Building

We are rethinking an industry that hasn’t seen innovation in 30 years—this means our problems are complex and everyone here has interesting challenges to solve. You might be working on building distributed systems up and down our tech stack, creating data analytics and actuarial predictions, managing a product roadmap, designing a part of our service, improving system reliability, building our brand in the market, maintaining our security, or protecting the privacy of our members. We work on big problems with great passion.
