About Legion Health

We’re rebuilding psychiatry from the ground up—AI-native, insurance-covered, and engineered to scale.

Legion Health is a high-quality psychiatry network where patients get care from licensed clinicians, fast and affordably. Under the hood, our LLM agents and orchestration layer automate operations, reduce admin, and enable truly great care.

Most startups bolt AI onto broken workflows. We’re replacing the workflows—and the system underneath.

If you’ve ever wanted to use AI to actually fix something that matters, this is your shot.

About the role

đź§  About Legion Health

Legion Health is on a mission to deliver the best psychiatric care in the world—and to do it at scale.

We’re building a full-stack AI-native psychiatry network: our clinicians provide high-quality care directly to patients, and AI agents automate all parts of our care operations (e.g., scheduling, risk analysis, billing, etc.). Our vision? A patient experience that’s 10× better, more affordable, and higher-margin than ever before.

Today, we’re turning weeks-long wait times into same-day appointments, crafting seamless digital experiences in a broken healthcare system, and scaling a company that patients genuinely trust.


About the Role

We’re seeking an Interim Patient Success Lead to cover our regular lead during a planned leave. This is a 3-month full-time contract, with a chance to extend if our growth trajectory necessitates—though it’s expected to conclude once our permanent lead returns.

This interim role offers a unique opportunity to gain hands-on expertise in a fast-paced, AI-powered startup. You’ll own the patient success function end-to-end, troubleshoot high-impact issues, and collaborate cross-functionally to drive continuous improvement.

  • Operational Problem-Solving: Resolve technical or process-related hiccups during the care journey.
  • Feedback Loop: Collect patient insights and partner with product and engineering to iterate on our AI-driven platform.
  • Generalist Support: Contribute to cross-team projects—analytics, process docs, or special initiatives—as needed.

Skills & Qualifications

  • Problem-Solving: Resourceful, able to troubleshoot rapidly in ambiguous, high-volume scenarios.
