Operations atSilna

The Opportunity

As Silna experiences explosive growth, we're seeking a talented Operations hire to join our team in NYC. Operations is core to Silna, and the notoriously opaque world of insurance operations needs someone who can build and optimize the processes that make everything run seamlessly. This role offers the chance to work hands-on, design workflows that matter, and drive real-world impact from day one—all while collaborating closely across our lean, high-performing team.

As an early member of our Operations team, you'll work on transforming complex insurance workflows into streamlined, scalable operations. One one side, you'll create SOPs that set our team of insurance specialists up for success while supporting our expansion across states, payers, and specialties. You'll also work closely and have the opportunity to manage our specialist teams, partner with engineering on automation opportunities by applying AI to solve real world problems. This is a unique chance to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of our business and the lives we touch, all within a data-first, startup environment.

About Silna

Healthcare is obsessed with optimizing a broken system. We're making sure it never breaks.

Silna Health attacks the root cause of denied claims: the fragmented, incompatible systems that govern prior authorizations, eligibility verification, and benefit checks, turning workflows that used to take days into decisions made in minutes, before care is ever delivered.

We work across behavioral health, physical health, ambulatory care, and post-acute care, where administrative failure doesn't just cost money; it can delay or deny patient access entirely. We're backed by Accel and Bain Capital Ventures, and we're building fast.

Why Join Silna

Ground-floor opportunity to build foundational operations at a rapidly growing startup
Work directly with the founding team and influence company direction
Competitive compensation package including equity
Chance to make a meaningful impact on healthcare delivery through operational excellence
Fast-paced, dynamic environment that rewards initiative and results
Opportunity to solve complex problems alongside brilliant colleagues

This role is perfect for someone who loves building systems from scratch, thrives in fast-paced environments, and wants to be instrumental in transforming how healthcare providers interact with insurance. If you're ready to join a mission-driven company that's revolutionizing healthcare administration through operational excellence, we want to talk to you.

What We Offer

A rapid-paced work environment with an incredibly enthusiastic and motivated team
The opportunity to work with customers that actually love the product
The ability to work on technology that is materially improving health outcomes
Competitive compensation and benefits package
401k
Unlimited PTO

Location

This role is fully in-person 5 days a week in our New York City office.
