Job Details
Position: Chief of Staff
Base Salary Range: $80-200k
Location: Chicago, IL
Work Style: In-Person
Headquartered in Chicago and founded in August 2023, we're redefining revenue cycle management with our AI‑driven Cofactor Denial Suite—a platform trained on millions of claims denial datapoints to automatically surface root-cause discrepancies, craft evidence-backed appeals, integrate with EHRs, and dramatically boost overturn rates while slashing hours of manual work per claim. Facing a 20.2% surge in denials (costing hospitals ~$20B/year in administrative waste) , our solution empowers providers to reclaim lost revenue, protect patients from surprise bills, and improve financial resilience. Backed by a $4M seed round led by Drive Capital—the Ohio-based firm founded by two ex‑Sequoia partners and known for backing Duolingo, Root, Olive, Greenlight, and others —Cofactor is scaling rapidly as the Midwest’s go‑to healthtech breakout.
You’ll join as Chief of Staff / Founding Operator / Executive Ops, functioning as the strategic co‑pilot to the CEO and leadership team. This is a high‑trust, high‑ownership role spanning strategic planning, operational cadences (leadership-syncs, functional stand-ups, KPI tracking), investor relations (board updates, fundraising prep), culture shaping, and embedded special projects—from standing up new functions to evaluating business lines. If ambiguity excites you, execution energizes you, and you’re eager to dive across GTM, People, Compliance, Ops, and Strategy in a lean, fast-moving startup, you’ll be driving conversion of vision into impact from day one—with Cofactor at the center of healthcare’s AI transformation.
