At Pearl Health, you’ll help redefine how primary care succeeds in value-based care by driving meaningful improvements in total cost of care performance while maintaining high-quality, proactive patient care. As Director, Cost of Care Performance, you’ll own the total cost of care strategy—setting the roadmap, designing and leading programs, and driving execution to deliver measurable cost reduction and performance improvement in risk-based models. You’ll translate data-driven insights into high-impact initiatives, manage critical programs and partnerships, and drive reductions in unnecessary, inappropriate, or potentially fraudulent spend, ensuring Pearl’s total cost of care approach delivers sustainable financial and clinical results at scale.
Pearl Health is dedicated to empowering primary care providers, health systems, and physician-led networks to succeed in the shift to value-based care. Our platform delivers the technology, financial tools, and expert services that enable practices to provide more proactive, effective care to their Medicare patients, ultimately lowering costs and improving health outcomes.
Founded in 2020, we are a team of healthcare and technology innovators backed by premier investors like Andreessen Horowitz, Viking Global Investors, and AlleyCorp. We partner with thousands of providers across 44 states to build a more sustainable future for American healthcare.
You’ll lead the operational strategy that powers Pearl’s value-based care success, connecting cross-functional teams, data, and execution to drive measurable impact on patient outcomes and provider performance.

Collaborate with Customer Success to design, roll out, and optimize provider incentive and engagement programs.
