Nurse Practitioner or Physician Assistant (APP) – Headache & Migraine Specialist
About Haven: Haven is building the future of migraine care for the 40 million Americans who suffer from this debilitating neurological condition. Backed by Precursor Ventures and 1843 Capital, we're transforming how migraine is treated through an innovative combination of telemedicine, AI-enabled monitoring, and personalized care plans. Our early results are exceptional: 85% of our patients show measurable improvement.
The Opportunity: As an early Advanced Practice Provider (NP or PA) at Haven, you'll have an outsized impact on both our clinical care model and patient outcomes. You'll work directly with our multidisciplinary team—including our Stanford-trained Chief Medical Officer—to deliver high-touch, integrative care to patients navigating chronic headache disorders. We're tackling a $112B market opportunity where only 8% of patients currently receive adequate care, and you’ll be on the front lines of changing that statistic.
Location & Work Schedule:
100% Remote: You can be based anywhere in the U.S., as long as you are available to work Pacific Standard Time (PST) hours.
Licensure: Active NP or PA license in California is required (holding WA as well is a strong plus).
We are aiming for a January 2027 start date for this role.
Compensation & Benefits:
Benefits: Comprehensive healthcare coverage and generous paid time off.
Work-Life Balance: Flexible scheduling with no weekends and no after-hours call. Optional procedure days available if desired/local, but not required.
What You’ll Do:
Your primary focus will be delivering compassionate, top-tier virtual care while collaborating on continuous improvements to our clinical model.
Deliver Exceptional Telehealth Care: Manage virtual visits for patients with migraine and complex headache disorders using ICHD-3 diagnostic criteria.
Build Comprehensive Care Plans: Create personalized, integrative treatment strategies combining evidence-based pharmacology with non-pharmacologic lifestyle interventions (sleep, nutrition, stress, and trigger management).
Provide Continuous Support: Review digital headache diaries and communicate with patients between visits to offer real-time guidance and care adjustments.
Shape Clinical Innovation: Partner directly with clinical leadership and our product/operations teams to refine care protocols, test new patient engagement strategies, and enhance the digital care delivery platform.
(Optional) In-Person Procedures: If located near a partner site and interested, opportunities exist to perform or coordinate procedures like Botox for chronic migraine, nerve blocks, and trigger point injections.
What We’re Looking For:
Licensure: Board-certified Nurse Practitioner (NP) or Physician Assistant (PA) with active licensure in California (required) a license in WA + TX a bonus.
Clinical Expertise: 3+ years of dedicated clinical experience in headache medicine, neurology, or a specialized outpatient setting with heavy headache management focus.
Telemedicine Aptitude: Comfortable navigating digital care platforms, asynchronous patient communication, and AI-assisted clinical workflows.
Product & Patient Mindset: Strong clinical judgment, high empathy, excellent written and verbal communication skills, and comfort operating in an agile, early-stage startup environment.
Growth Orientation: Eager to learn, wear multiple hats as we scale, and help establish standard-setting clinical care protocols.
Why Join Haven:
Impact & Reach: Treat a deeply underserved patient population with modern, accessible tools that actually drive results.
Flexibility & Autonomy: Enjoy the autonomy of a fully remote role tailored to PST, designed to prevent burnout with predictable, non-on-call hours.
Collaborative Culture: Work side-by-side with experienced healthcare founders, technology leaders from top Silicon Valley companies, and passionate clinical peers.
Career Growth: Early employees play a critical role in shaping team structure and clinical operations as we scale nationally.
Our Culture & Diversity
At Haven, we offer a unique opportunity to work directly with experienced founders who have built and scaled successful healthcare companies. Diversity is built into our DNA with a founding team representing POC, female, disabled, and LGBTQ+ founders.
We strongly encourage candidates from all backgrounds to apply. Studies show underrepresented candidates often only apply when meeting 100% of qualifications; if you bring clinical passion, empathy, and relevant licensure, we’d love to hear from you even if you don't check every single box.
Target Compensation:
Hybrid / Expanded Scope Note: For candidates located in or near our primary California metro areas (e.g., San Francisco, Greater Los Angeles, San Diego, or Orange County) who are qualified and interested in blending telehealth with optional in-person procedural care (e.g., Botox, nerve blocks, trigger point injections), additional compensation flexibility and higher target ranges are available.
