Transform healthcare with us.

At Qualified Health, we're redefining what's possible with Generative AI in healthcare. Our infrastructure provides the guardrails for safe AI governance, healthcare-specific agent creation, and real-time algorithm monitoring, working alongside leading health systems to drive real change.

This is more than just an internship. It's an opportunity to spend your summer at the center of how a fast-moving health AI company gets built, working shoulder-to-shoulder with the CEO and Chief of Staff to execute on the new business lines and growth opportunities that will define Qualified Health's next chapter. If you're ambitious, curious, and ready to move fast, we'd love to have you on board.

Join us in shaping the future of healthcare.

Job Summary:

Qualified Health is seeking a Strategic Initiatives Intern to support the Office of the CEO over the course of a 10–12 week summer program, with a primary focus on executing new business lines and growth opportunities. The strategic direction has been set; what we need is someone to help carry the work forward, building the plans, driving the workstreams, and getting the new lines of business off the ground.

You'll work directly with the Head of Office of CEO and the broader leadership team to translate growth bets into action, partnering across product, GTM, and partnerships to move initiatives from greenlight to traction.

This is a role for someone who is hungry to learn, comfortable with ambiguity, and excited to move between structured planning and hands-on execution. You'll get a rare, end-to-end view of how a venture-backed health AI company actually launches new lines of business, and you'll leave the summer having owned real work that mattered.

The best health AI companies won't just decide where to grow. They'll execute on those growth bets faster than anyone else. This internship is for someone who wants to be in the room helping make that happen.

Outcomes:

By the end of the summer, you will have:

• Helped execute at least one new business line or growth initiative, owning a meaningful slice of the work that moved it from plan to traction.

• Unblocked cross-functional execution on a growth initiative by driving alignment across product, GTM, and partnerships.

• Built a working understanding of how a venture-backed health AI company is run from the inside, including how new lines of business actually get stood up.

Key Responsibilities:

NEW BUSINESS LINES & GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES (PRIMARY FOCUS)

• Help execute on the new business lines and growth opportunities the company has prioritized, owning workstreams that move them from greenlight to traction.

• Partner across product, GTM, and partnerships to unblock execution, drive decisions to closure, and keep growth initiatives on pace.

• Stand up the customer-facing artifacts a new business line needs to land, pitch decks, one-pagers, pricing collateral, early case studies, and partner with leadership to put them to work.

• Build the early metrics and feedback loops that tell us whether a new line is working, surfacing what's resonating, what isn't, and what to adjust.

STRATEGIC EXECUTION & FORCE MULTIPLICATION

• Operate as an extension of the Office of the CEO on the company's most important priorities, jumping in where help is needed and proactively flagging what's falling through the cracks.

• Maintain visibility into where key strategic bets are gaining momentum or stalling, and synthesize that picture into clear updates for leadership.

• Produce analyses, decks, and written briefings that shape how Qualified Health approaches consequential decisions, with the rigor of a first-rate consulting or banking workstream.

STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIPS

• Drive specific partnership workstreams forward, with technology ecosystem partners, thought leadership organizations, policy bodies, and industry associations, with a focus on partnerships that unlock growth.

• Structure each relationship to generate real value, not just activity, and build the materials and follow-through that move conversations from interest to outcome.

AI TRANSFORMATION & THE COMPANY OF THE FUTURE

• Own a defined workstream on Qualified Health's transformation into an AI-native organization: identify a specific function or process, map how AI can take ownership of it, prototype the new way of working, and deliver a recommendation the company can actually implement.

Required Qualifications:

• Currently pursuing an MBA graduate degree

• Prior experience or coursework that demonstrates structured thinking, clear communication, and execution under ambiguity, e.g., management consulting, investment banking, private equity, venture capital, a high-growth startup, or rigorous analytical/research roles.

• A bias to action. You'd rather ship a v1 and iterate than wait for the perfect plan.

• Strong project management instincts; comfort running a workstream, holding cross-functional partners accountable, and driving decisions to closure.

• Strong written and verbal communication skills; able to synthesize complexity into a clear recommendation and write a crisp executive briefing.

• High ownership and high standards. You don't need to be told twice, and you don't wait for someone else to raise the bar.

• Comfort operating at multiple altitudes, moving from planning to execution and back, often in the same day.

• Experience or strong intellectual curiosity about healthcare, AI, or enterprise software preferred. Curiosity about healthcare AI is required.

What We Offer:

• A paid summer internship at the center of one of the most consequential technology transitions in healthcare.

• Direct proximity to the CEO, Chief of Staff, and broader leadership team, with broad visibility into how a venture-backed health AI company executes on growth.

• A real portfolio of work, no coffee runs, no busywork. You'll own meaningful, execution-oriented growth projects with the autonomy to drive them and the access to make them matter.

• Mentorship from the Office of the CEO and structured opportunities to learn across functions.

• A team that takes the work seriously and moves fast.

Pay & Benefits:

The pay range for this internship is $40 per hour and will depend on your level of education and experience. Hybrid in Palo Alto, CA, with the expectation of being on-site at least 3 days per week during the program.
