More About Marigold Health

Marigold Health is an early-stage, rapidly growing startup providing services for a range of community-based mental health and substance use treatment providers as well as for managed care organizations.  We collaborate with eminent investigators at Brown University and Johns Hopkins and have been publicly recognized by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) and the American Psychiatric Association.  

Our core values are authenticity, candor, and ambition.  

We have an office in Boston, but during the COVID 19 epidemic most of our team members work virtually from their homes.  When COVID-19 restrictions relax, team members will be expected to attend occasional meetings at the office but will for the most part be able to continue working virtually.  Regular travel to partner clinics is a significant part of this role. Staff traveling to partner clinics will also need to abide by COVID-19 safety policies at these facilities.

Inclusion is at the core of what we do. We’re working to bring care to the most underserved and stigmatized patients. We actively welcome applicants from a wealth of different backgrounds (including but not limited to race, gender, educational background, and sexual orientation). We must have diversity on our team and in our mindsets to be successful in moving the needle on the deeply entrenched and systematic challenges we face.

Marigold Health is an equal opportunity employer.

Company Core Values

Authenticity - Everyone’s experiences are valuable - we want you to speak from the heart. Without diversity in our backgrounds and thoughts, we will fail.
Candor - We work on an entrenched, complicated problem. Egos are checked at the door - we optimize for learning. The best ideas come through iteration and debate, and the highest performing teams have a persistent commitment to transparency.
Ambition - Mental illness touches the life of every single person reading this message - our goal is to affect change at scale. We respect and look for vision, but paired with it, the grit to follow-through.
