Full Job Description
Rockstar is recruiting for a mission-driven healthcare company dedicated to making life happier and healthier for autistic and neurodivergent adults. Despite autism diagnoses increasing more than 5x in the past 25 years, autistic adults have been systematically overlooked. This has led to extremely poor outcomes, including high rates of co-occurring mental health conditions and a lower life expectancy. The company is here to change that. The organization delivers specialized mental health services for autistic adults, covered by insurance. They have helped tens of thousands of people receive an autism diagnosis for the first time, work with neurodivergent-affirming therapists, and find belonging through community. Their outcomes meaningfully outperform traditional care for autistic adults, with substantially greater improvements in mood, anxiety, and quality of life. The company is growing 3x year over year and is at mid-double-digit millions in run-rate revenue, with thousands of active clients and 400+ clinicians. It is a high-ownership, mission-driven team, building something that has never existed for autistic and neurodivergent adults. ### About the Role * The company is hiring a **Sr. Manager-level People Operations Lead** to own the day-to-day immediately: payroll, benefits administration, employee relations, accommodations, and terminations * Beyond execution, they are looking for someone with the potential to grow into a strategic advisor — thinking through compensation strategy, new people systems, and how they scale the HR function as they grow * They serve **350+ providers and 10K+ clients** across multiple states, so comfort with complexity and scale matters As the first people ops hire, this person will establish the function from the ground up.
