Director of People & Culture

Surgo Health is a human-centric AI company that delivers the deepest understanding of human behavior to power better health for all.

A life-saving drug or treatment is of no use if people don’t take it. Surgo Health believes that a complete understanding of what drives people’s behavior – and how their context impacts them – is critical to ensure every person lives a healthy life. Our proprietary data and AI-technology platform produce fit-for-purpose intelligence, analytics, and recommendations that enable our partners to deliver more equitable, efficient, and cost-effective programs that improve health outcomes across the globe.

Our world-class team of healthcare experts and scientists use behavioral science, data science, and artificial intelligence to build innovative, scalable solutions that power patient-centric care and improve outcomes. We are a growing team with ambitious plans, and we're searching for top-class talent who want to roll up their sleeves and dive into a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment.

Headquartered in Washington, DC, Surgo has teams across the US, UK, India, and Turkey. We are evolving from a consulting-led model toward a product-first business while continuing to deliver for clients. We are looking for adaptable, collaborative people who care about the mission and thrive in an entrepreneurial environment.

The opportunity
As Director of People & Culture, you will own the day-to-day People function and build practical, scalable programs that help Surgo hire, develop, and retain great people. This is a hands-on build-and-run role: you will improve how work gets done, partner closely with managers, and translate business priorities into clear People practices across four countries.

You will work with senior leadership on broader People priorities while taking direct accountability for implementation, reliable operations, and measurable results. As Surgo grows, there is room to expand your strategic contribution. Success in this role starts with sound judgment, thoughtful prioritization, and strong execution—not creating complex programs before they are needed.
