Job description

How We Show Up for Our Patients:
As a leading provider of outcomes-driven care for individuals and communities living with chronic conditions, Somatus is helping patients across the country enjoy More Healthy Days at Home™.
Care at Somatus goes beyond treatment. Through a whole-person approach, we deliver outcomes-driven integrated care and show up #SomatusStrong for our patients and teammates. We partner closely with health plans, health systems, and provider groups to support patients with, or at risk of developing, cardio, kidney, metabolic, or other chronic conditions.
We hire the brightest and boldest - talent driven by purpose and impact. Since our founding in 2016, our growth trajectory isn't just a milestone - it's a signal. Our leadership values culture and leads with intention as we remain dedicated to driving clinical excellence.
Does this sound like you? Keep reading.
How We'll Support You:
We offer 25+ health, growth, and wealth work perks to help teammates be the best version of themselves, including:
  • Subsidized personal healthcare coverage: Medical, Dental & Vision, plus Wellness programs
  • Paid Time Off: Flexible PTO
  • Professional development: CEU and tuition reimbursement

How You'll Make an Impact:
Are you a strategic, scrappy change agent who thrives on transformation and elevating the Teammate experience - or better yet - turning obstacles into opportunities? Do you have an insatiable curiosity to uncover what's working, what's not, and how to pioneer meaningful change? At Somatus, we're entering an exciting visionary phase of growth: a time of reflection, renewal, and reinvention. We're not afraid to acknowledge past lessons learned and growing pains.
Best of all? You won't need to convince our leadership of the power of culture our CEO is already leading with it. This SVP, People position is a rare opportunity to build on that momentum and shape the future of the voice and experience for our Teammates: the heart of our company. We refer to our employees as Teammates, and we treat them as such. It's more than a title; it's how we work, support one another, and show up for our mission.
This isn't a role where you'll do the same thing every day or step into a fully refined environment. We want someone who doesn't believe culture- and people-building is a side project, instead a catalyst for forward-thinking performance, belonging, diversity, and growth. You'll be shaping the culture in real time - building, evolving, and scaling programs that make Somatus a place where our Teammates feel connected, empowered, and proud to work. You'll lead with empathy and data, driving initiatives that elevate engagement, performance, and leadership across the organization. You'll be the architect of a people strategy that drives performance, fosters accountability, and creates a culture where Teammates feel heard, valued, and inspired.
Strategic People Leadership, Improvement & Change:
  • Champion Somatus' vision to be a best-in class employer by deeply understanding Teammate sentiment - including celebrating wins, identifying pain points, and uncovering development needs - and translating these insights into actionable strategies with the executive team.
  • Build and scale HR infrastructure, compensation frameworks, and strategic programs that elevate the function and support organizational growth
  • Foster a culture of data-driven decision-making within HR, leveraging advanced human capital analytics to improve efficiency, enhance Teammate experience, and drive measurable outcomes.

Driving a Positive and Teammate-Centric Culture:
  • Ignite organizational and talent development efforts focused on engagement, culture, performance, learning and leadership development to support continuous evolution.
  • Design and implement performance and talent management systems that empower individuals and teams, aligning their work with Somatus' mission and values.
  • Partner with leadership to build robust succession planning and leadership development programs that ensure a strong internal talent pipeline.
  • Develop innovative strategies to attract, engage, and retain top talent, adapting to the dynamic needs of the business.
  • Advance diversity, equity, and inclusion through intentional programs that foster a vibrant, high-performing workforce.
  • Guide change management initiatives that support rapid growth, ensuring smooth transitions and alignment with strategic goals.

Executive Partnership & Culture Building:
  • You will assist with strategic advisement to the senior leadership team, aligning people strategy with business objectives to accelerate growth and performance.
  • Work side-by-side with senior leaders to cultivate a high-performance culture through clear goal-setting, accountability, and outcome-driven execution.
  • Provide leadership with cross-functional HR initiatives, including People Operations, Total Rewards, and organizational development, ensuring alignment with enterprise priorities and delivering consistent, scalable results.

HR Business Partners:
  • Partner with the VP of HR in leading and developing a team of HR Business Partners who are embedded in the business, providing strategic guidance and driving talent outcomes.
  • Partner with the VP of HR and HRBPs to deliver human capital planning, Teammate relations, and organizational design solutions that align with business strategy.

Talent Acquisition & Attraction:
  • Lead a high-impact talent acquisition function that anticipates workforce needs and deploys agile recruiting strategies to support growth.
  • Collaborate with the marketing team to build a compelling employer brand that positions Somatus as a top destination for healthcare talent.
  • Drive a scalable, high-volume recruitment engine focused on healthcare professionals, emphasizing speed, quality, and predictability.

People Operations & Analytics:
  • Assist in shaping HR systems, processes, and reporting to ensure operational excellence, compliance, and a seamless user experience.
  • Leverage actionable, data-rich insights on key HR metrics, such as engagement, retention, and rewards, to inform leadership decisions and tell an impactful story.
  • Ensure HRIS platforms provide real-time analytics that support strategic talent planning and business outcomes.

Total Rewards:
  • Develop and execute a competitive Total Rewards strategy aligned with Somatus' business goals, including market-based compensation, equity, and incentive programs.
  • Provide leadership on executive compensation and incentive design to reinforce performance and align with strategic priorities.

How You'll Strengthen Our Team:
Qualifications:
  • A versatile and visionary people leader - At least 15 years of HR leadership experience, with proven success in various HR disciplines, including talent management, total rewards, and Teammate engagement. Experience developing and leading high-performing HR teams, fostering productive environments, and continuously improving the HR function to meet the evolving needs of the organization.
  • A bachelor's degree in HR, business administration, or related field.

Preferred Qualifications:
  • A culture shaper with conviction - A passion and tenacity for building inclusive, values-driven environments where people feel seen, supported, and inspired to do their best mission-centric work. You'll leverage this passion to strategically embed culture into systems, behaviors, and leadership practices to create a best place to work and ensure the culture scales with the organization.
  • A scaling strategist - Previous SVP-level experience within healthcare services or a similar high-growth, decentralized organization is strongly preferred; proven experience with a track record of scaling teams beyond 1,500 team members.
  • A momentum-driven maven - Demonstrated track record of implementing strategic HR initiatives that drive measurable business results in fast-paced, rapidly growing environments.
  • A strategic and savvy influencer - Strategic HR leader with the ability to advise and collaborate with senior leaders to achieve business objectives through effective HR strategies, operations, and tactics - while building relationships, influencing decisions, and driving cultural change across diverse, geographically distributed teams.
  • A builder in motion - Expertise in designing and implementing comprehensive HR strategies, including talent acquisition, total rewards, performance management, organizational design, and culture transformation.
  • A storyteller of data and key insights - Strong analytical skills with the ability to translate data into actionable insights that inform strategic decisions and optimize human capital outcomes.

Compensation:
$250,000 to $292,000 per year
We offer competitive compensation that reflects market conditions and recognizes the skills, experience, and contributions of our team members.
