About Alaffia & Our Mission Each year, the U.S. healthcare system suffers from over $500B in wasted spending due to medical billing fraud, waste, and administrative burden. At Alaffia, we’re committed to changing that paradigm. We’ve assembled a team of clinicians, AI engineers, and product experts to build advanced AI solutions that will directly bend the cost curve for all patients across the healthcare ecosystem. Collectively, we’re building best-in-class AI software to provide our customers with co-pilot tools, AI agents, and other cutting-edge solutions to reduce administrative burden and reduce healthcare costs. We’re a high-growth, venture-backed startup based in NYC and are actively scaling our company. *This position requires current authorization to work in the United States. Unfortunately, we are not in a position to sponsor work visas at this time. About the Role As People Operations Manager you’ll be tasked with building out Alaffia’s HR function as we scale from a Series A company to a growth stage company. This is a high-impact, high-visibility role that blends strategy and execution — ideal for someone who enjoys rolling up their sleeves and collaborating with others for meaningful work that will impact every employee.

This role is perfect for someone with a strong technical skillset, an eye for detail, with a strong bias towards action, and who’s excited to turn operational excellence into a competitive advantage as we scale. If you’re motivated by building the systems that help teams win — turning data and structure into leverage for both people and business performance — and want to shape a company where employees are deeply supported to do their best work, this is your opportunity.
