TLDR
Work directly with the CEO on the highest impact initiatives. This role combines consulting-level strategy with startup execution, tackling whatever it takes to drive Neon’s growth.

About us: join the team making life-saving drugs accessible
The crisis: Sarah delayed cancer treatment for weeks facing $30,000 monthly costs. Marcus's autoimmune condition worsened while battling insurance denials.
Over 50% of critical prescriptions are abandoned due to:
Cost barriers: Patients with high copays are 5x more likely to abandon treatment
Insurance maze: Complex prior authorizations block access
Logistical challenges: Coordinating medical visits for treatments
Our solution: Neon's technology eliminates these obstacles by automating patient access workflows for pharma companies: —automating authorizations, streamlining benefits verification, and unlocking financial assistance.
Join our mission: We want to live in a world where every patient can navigate the healthcare system with ease, especially when it matters most. Help us ensure that access to medicine is determined by clinical need—not bureaucracy or financial constraint. When Neon succeeds, patients access life-saving treatments without bankrupting their families, while we build an AI automation powerhouse serving healthcare's biggest enterprises.
Why join Neon?
Frighteningly ambitious: We’re not just idealists. We’re seasoned builders. On a mission to build a $200B+ company—on the scale of Palantir or ServiceNow—serving the largest healthcare enterprises.
Experienced founding team: Built by exited founders, YC & MIT alum, ex-Tesla, ex-Google engineers.
Hypergrowth with stability: We went from initial idea to 7+ figure customer contracts in just 4 months—in an industry where sales cycles typically take 12-18 months. We are profitable and relentlessly focused on execution.
Powerhouse backing: We’re funded by elite Silicon Valley VCs who've backed unicorns like DoorDash, Lyft, and Mammoth Biosciences. And strategic healthcare investors with deep industry connections.
Outsized impact & opportunity: Work at the intersection of agentic AI, healthcare transformation, and life-changing patient outcomes.
Career acceleration: Join early and grow rapidly with us as we scale toward category dominance in healthcare automation.

We work with intention and humility. We support and challenge each other to be our best selves.
