Why join Forward?
We don’t want to just move dollars around the healthcare industry - we want to rebuild it and fix it. All of it. You’d be a major part of the story behind one of the most ambitious startup attempts of the past decade and you’d work with a team of people who want to use their talents for good.

What you'll do:

  • Own IT/Helpdesk support for our corporate, onsite, and remote teams, while prioritizing / maintaining lightning SLAs.
  • Provide desktop support for hardware, software, network, A/V, system performance and security issues.
  • Own inventory management for hardware and software assets.
  • Provision and maintain user accounts, group membership, etc.
  • Assist with new clinic builds, interfacing with the expansion team, architects, engineers, and contractors.
  • Support existing clinics by facilitating device installation, maintenance, and repairs.
  • Work with various teams across the company to improve our processes and tools.

What We're Looking For:

  • Impact - You’re deeply mission-driven and you think there’s more to life than software that enables puppy ears to be superimposed on photos. Although we concede those are cute.
  • Entrepreneurship - You’re a self-starter who loves to own things end-to-end and enjoys wearing many hats. You don’t ask for permission - you’re too busy making things happen.
  • Team player - You know how to make those around you better and feed off their energy. You take care of your teammates.
The base salary range for this full-time position is $80,000-$95,000, plus equity and benefits. The range displayed on each job posting reflects the minimum and maximum target for new hire salaries for the position across all locations. Within the range, individual pay is determined by factors including job-related skills, experience, relevant education or training, and location.
