Strategy & Operations Manager, Talent

Duet is proving that nurse-practitioner-led care isn't just more accessible, it's better. We help NPs build and scale independent practices in communities too often overlooked by the health system: rural towns, immigrant populations, LGBTQ+ patients, and more. Backed by AI-driven tools that give independent NPs the backing of a much bigger system, our network of 100+ practices covering 400,000 annual visits has driven a 30% increase in preventative visits and a 35% drop in hospitalizations, the clearest sign yet that localized NP-led care means better outcomes.

We're a well-funded, early-stage company led by seasoned entrepreneurs and nurse practitioners, and backed by investors including Lerer Hippeau and Kairos.

Independent primary care is disappearing, swallowed by hospital systems and private equity roll-ups, often pulling out of the communities that need it most. But 31 states now support autonomous NP practice, and the results back up what we've long believed. We built the first value-based care contracts for NPs with major payors, taking on real financial risk for outcomes. In our anchor market in New Hampshire, our network outperformed the state on total cost of care by 19%, proof that a solo NP in an underserved area can outperform a system ten times their size and get rewarded for it.

We’re looking for a strategy and operations generalist to build the hiring system that will help this company scale. You’ll partner closely with senior leaders to take fuzzy hiring needs and turn them into well-defined roles, structured interview processes, and fast, dependable decisions.

Hiring is among the highest-leverage systems at the company, and you’ll own it from start to finish. At first, you’ll be hands-on and scrappy: sourcing candidates yourself, running initial screens, coordinating interviews, and keeping decisions moving. Alongside that, you’ll build the processes, standards, and systems that make hiring repeatable as we grow.

If you love finding and attracting great talent, reasoning from first principles, and building lasting systems from the ground up in an early-stage environment, this role was made for you.
