Who Are We?

Powered by technology and compassionate design, Parachute has reimagined the plasma donation experience into one that is easier and friendlier. Using a simple app, our members can book donations and track earnings from the palm of their hand. In using a tech-forward approach, we’re able to offer each member a highly personable and best-in-class experience that’s consistent at each and every visit.

Our vision is to introduce an elevated plasma donation experience to markets with smaller populations that’s grounded in convenience. This model allows us to positively impact the industry supply chain and help patients gain access to the life-changing medication they need.

We have grown from 2 to 50+ operations in ~3 years and are looking for new team members to help us scale to 60+ centers this year alone. We are searching for individuals who share our passion for helping others and are invigorated by the speed at which our start-up moves. Come join us as we help the world gain access to more plasma - one donation at a time.

You bring positive, can-do energy and high EQ, coaching the recruiting team through the growing pains of a startup and building trusted relationships with key stakeholders that unblock hiring and amplify collective results.

Ideal candidates will have experience recruiting in regulated industries and startup/hyper-growth experience, including high-volume field or hourly hiring.

Plasma donation platform funds life-saving medicines

Parachute runs a platform that connects people with plasma donation opportunities and compensates them for their time and contribution. Donors give plasma at partner donation centers, and the collected plasma is used to manufacture medicines that treat chronic illnesses such as immune disorders, liver disease, bleeding disorders, and cancer. The way it works is by recruiting donors, coordinating appointments, and providing payment for donations, helping facilities maintain a steady supply of plasma for therapies. Parachute differentiates itself by focusing on expanding the donor base and shortening the gap between donation and medicine production, aiming to reduce shortages and improve patient access. The company’s goal is to increase the availability of plasma-derived treatments by encouraging more people to donate and by ensuring a reliable flow of plasma to treatment manufacturers.
