Virta Health is on a mission to transform type 2 diabetes and weight-loss care. Current treatment approaches aren’t working—over half of US adults have either type 2 diabetes or prediabetes, and obesity rates are at an all-time high. Virta is changing this by helping people reverse their metabolic condition through innovations in technology, personalized nutrition, and virtual care delivery reinvented from the ground up. We have raised over $350 million from top-tier investors, and partner with the largest health plans, employers, and government organizations to help their employees and members restore their health and take back their lives. Join us on our mission to reverse diabetes and obesity in one billion people.

As we scale, optimizing our revenue operations is critical to long-term sustainability and impact. We’re hiring a Head of Revenue Cycle Management (RCM) to lead our end-to-end revenue processes, drive payer strategy, and unlock efficiencies through automation and innovation. Reporting directly to the Chief Financial Officer, this leader will be responsible for all aspects of Virta’s revenue cycle—from eligibility, coding, and claims to collections, payer contracting, and regulatory compliance.

You’ll bring deep RCM domain expertise, strong payer relationships, and a forward-thinking approach to building scalable, tech-enabled infrastructure. You’ll collaborate closely with Customer Success, Product, and Clinical teams, to ensure our RCM function supports both exceptional care and world-class operational performance.

This is an ideal opportunity for a seasoned RCM executive who thrives at the intersection of healthcare, operations, and technology—and who wants to help shape the future of metabolic care at scale.
