Principal HRBP

About Us

We are a very profitable and fast-growing healthcare startup—a small and mighty team of 200 helping people find and enroll in ACA health coverage. As the largest health insurance exchange for the ACA, enrolling more individuals than healthcare.gov and all our competitors, we have helped over 15 million people enroll in health coverage to date through 2024. We're a mission-driven team that advocates for and cares deeply about the people we serve.

We're a double bottom-line company: revenues and enrollments in ACA coverage. The ACA brings high-quality, comprehensive, affordable health coverage within reach for low-income Americans, and we exist to make that promise a reality. Your contribution will help hundreds of thousands of people navigate the complex and confusing health insurance industry and enable them to access health care when needed.

We are committed to building a team balanced in representation to serve best the people who use our products. We believe in creating inclusive and equitable spaces that build trust and respect and foster a sense of belonging. These values are at the core of our culture and will continue to lead our organization to successful outcomes.
