Telemedicine Physician Assistant (≥15 States, $85/hr)

About Embedded

Embedded is the AI-powered Operating System for Consumer Healthcare. We are the engine for non-healthcare entities to launch, run, and grow their own consumer telemedicine brand — launch in minutes, not months. Brands choose among the modularized components that make up a digital clinic, with the no-code operating system functioning as the glue that seamlessly holds the components together. We’re starting with a focus on GLP-1s for weight loss in the US.

  • GLP-1s are a f*ing big deal. We’re in a remarkable & rapid period of change which will radically reshape the patient & cash flows in the healthcare system.

    Our mission is to accelerate the global take-up of GLP-1s to solve obesity worldwide by building an AI-powered, consumer-led global healthcare system. We’re building the infrastructure to have served 100 million patients worldwide by the end of 2034. In so doing, we have the opportunity to become the world’s first trillion dollar healthcare company: the operating system for any non-healthcare entity to seamlessly offer consumer-led healthcare, globally.

    We’ve grown >1000x since Aug 2021, >200x since Aug 2022, >20x since Aug 2023. We’ve just surpassed $30M ARR. As a company, we’ve been cashflow positive for the last 18mo. We’re fast approaching 10,000 active customers with high NPS.

    Almost all of this has so far been through our main D2C brand Fella. Embedded is still new.

    We’re a young startup and we’re just getting started. This is still Day 1 and all our work is ahead of us.

The opportunity as Telemedicine Physician Assistant at Embedded

Embedded is building a world-class team.

As a Telemedicine Provider at Embedded, you’ll work closely with our Clinical Ops Lead & Physician President to serve fellas. You’ll principally conduct async telemedicine consultations for GLP-1s and streamlined sync telemedicine consultations for Schedule III medications (e.g. TRT), as well as help iterate our clinical protocols & systems.

Over time (this is optional), you can transition to a senior member of the clinical team, shaping Fella’s future.

This is a part-time, remote, contractor role ~20hrs/wk.

You'll work closely with our Clinical Ops Lead (Arvee Sese), Physician President (Rafid Fadul, MD), and our CEO (Richie Cartwright).

Key Responsibilities

Primary:

  • Conduct async telemedicine consultations: You’ll asynchronously review all necessary information (labwork, medical form, identity verification) in our system, ensuring you’re comfortable prescribing a GLP-1 for a patient. You’ll let our careteam know if you need further information, or if a patient is not a good fit.

  • Conduct streamlined sync telemedicine consultations: You’ll have streamlined synchronous consultations with fellas to prescribe Schedule III medications (e.g. TRT).

Secondary:

  • Iterate our clinical protocols: You’ll work closely with our Ops Lead & Physician President to provide feedback on our clinical protocols.

  • Improve our clinical systems: You’ll work closely with our Ops Lead to provide feedback for our systems to improve your workflow.

Need to have

  • Hours: you're able to work ≥10 hours/week.

  • License: you have an active, unrestricted license in ≥15 US states.

  • Compounded: you are comfortable prescribing compounded medications, including compounded semaglutide.

  • Async: you are comfortable with an async approach in telemedicine.

  • Patient-centric: you are onboard with safely-practiced, compliant, low-touch patient-centric (not provider-centric) care.

  • Bio-first: you align with a biology-first approach, understanding your role is to safely prescribe high-efficacy GLP-1s to your patients.

  • Controlled: you’re comfortable writing prescriptions for Schedule III controlled substances like TRT under a streamlined synchronous protocol.

Nice to have

  • Experience: ideally you have 1+ years working in high-paced, consumer-centric telemedicine.

  • Obesity: ideally you have 1+ years treating patients with obesity using GLP-1s (and maybe other medications).

  • Certification: maybe you have a certification in Obesity Medicine, Men’s Health, or a closely related area.

  • Education: maybe you have an advanced degree which gives you a powerful clinical understanding.

Our cultural standards

These are the core cultural standards to which we hold ourselves & our team-members:

  • Belief in the mission: We will have served 10 million patients by the end of 2028 and we transform the life of most patients who join. We have a lot of work to do. We are obsessed with our patients and are dedicated to the mission.

  • Unwavering integrity: We are at the frontier, so we often live in ambiguity with no trodden path. When we can’t look to others for guidance, we must maintain impeccable ethics and unwavering integrity.

  • Only the paranoid survive: Bad sh*t is coming. By joining us, you’re choosing to sail straight towards the storms with unhesitating conviction. However much we’ve already done, however far we’ve already come — it’s still Day 1 and all our work is ahead of us.

  • Your life’s work: This will be your most challenging, most rewarding role of your life. You’ll be shocked how capable you are & how much you can achieve.

  • If we’re average we fail: We are only interested in “insanely great”, a focus on the quality of our execution that in everyday life would be considered pathological. We have a dedication to excellence and reject incompetence.

  • Commitment to candor: That which can be destroyed by the truth should be. You get full transparency from the company and the company expects full transparency from you. We never say anything about someone that you wouldn’t say to them directly. We give feedback with love and do not need to protect people from fleeting physical sensations.

  • A maniacal sense of urgency: We execute at an intensity that most people think is impossible. Speed is critical and we need things done yesterday. We all work very hard and in such a competitive world there really is no other way to win.

  • Enduring frugality: We are frugal. We hate being wasteful and we are anti-luxury. A culture of cheapness keeps us young. We spend our cash wisely & carefully — in a way that would make our grandmas proud.

  • Bulldozing barriers: The world is malleable and we shape it. We truly believe this and act accordingly. We are relentlessly resourceful and are at the mercy of no-one but ourselves.

  • Keep your head down: We’re boring people doing exciting work. We don’t chase short-term status — we ignore short-term dopamine hits and focus on what matters. Outsiders will underestimate us and we revel in that.

  • The power of focus: We live in a world of power laws and we cannot overestimate the unimportance of practically everything. Know your One Thing, and nail it.

🎯 “You just build an amazing experience. Make each step amazing. Make every decision in the long term interest of the customer. Give the customer massively more value than you take.”*

Compensation & Benefits

  • Compensation: $85/hr (salary + equity)

  • Vacation: generous time off with a yearly minimum (>2wks/yr)

  • Remote: our team is fully distributed across the world and functions fully remotely

  • Personal development: budget for books, courses, coaching ($1200/yr pro-rated)
