Operations Associate (Proactive Posting)

Healthcare is in crisis and the people behind the results deserve better. With more and more data coming from wearables, lab tests, and patient–doctor interactions, we’re entering an era where data is abundant.

Junction is building the infrastructure layer for diagnostic healthcare, making patient data accessible, actionable, and automated across labs and devices. Our mission is simple but ambitious: build the infrastructure that makes predictive, personalized care possible.

If you're passionate about how technology can supercharge healthcare, you’ll fit right in.

Backed by Creandum, Point Nine, 20VC, YC, and leading angels, we’re working to solve one of the biggest challenges of our time: making healthcare personalized, proactive, and affordable. We’re already connecting millions and scaling fast.

Read this first: this is a proactive posting. The role isn't open today.

We expect to hire more Operations Associates in the future, we just don't have the headcount signed off yet. Rather than wait and then scramble, we're putting the role out early to meet people we'd want to move quickly quickly with when it does open.

That means a slower timeline than a normal application and no guarantee at the end of it. If that's not worth your time right now, we completely get it.
