Lead Nurse

Join to apply for the Lead Nurse role at Haven Headache & Migraine Center

Base pay range: $/yr - $/yr

Haven is building the future of migraine care for the 40 million Americans who suffer from this debilitating neurological condition. Backed by Precursor Ventures and 1843 Capital, we are transforming how migraine is treated through a combination of telemedicine, AI-enabled monitoring, and personalized care plans. Our early results are exceptional—our initial patient cohort is seeing a 70% improvement rate with days impacted by headache reduced by half.

As Lead Nurse at Haven, you will have a direct, meaningful impact on patients’ lives. Migraine is one of the most misunderstood and under-treated neurological conditions—only 8% of patients receive adequate care. You will help change that by working closely with our founding team, including our Stanford-trained Chief Medical Officer, to deliver truly personalized headache care nationwide.

• Clinical Documentation & Orders
  :
  Prepare and pre-populate notes in Elation; review outside records and finalize provider orders.
• Care Coordination
  :
  Manage referrals, imaging, labs, medication refills, and prior authorizations to ensure seamless care delivery.
• Patient Communication & Triage
  :
  Respond to patient inquiries, conduct triage and escalation per protocol, clarify issues before visits, and meet response-time SLAs.
• Procedure & Care Plan Support
  :
  Prepare Botox and injection materials; support APP/MDs in reviewing and updating longitudinal care plans.
• Quality & Workflow Oversight
  :
  Participate in chart audits, track care delays, and help optimize clinic workflows.

Like all early startup roles, you’ll wear many hats—jumping in where needed to support outstanding patient care and shape our clinical workflows.

• A registered nurse (California license preferred) with 4+ years of triage experience in neurology, emergency/urgent care, primary care, or related fields.
• Experience in telehealth, virtual care, or remote patient communication.
• Strong ability to map out nursing workflows, optimize triage protocols, and leverage technology to work smarter.
• A natural mentor and trainer for nurses and other interprofessional care team members.
• A strong clinical communicator who balances efficiency with empathy.

You’re likely a strong fit if you’re a clear communicator, highly organized, can think strategically about workflow improvement, and are excited to help build a modern migraine‑care model that blends clinical excellence with technology. You will also likely be excited by this opportunity if you are comfortable navigating early‑stage startup ambiguity and evolving processes.

At Haven, we offer a unique opportunity to work directly with experienced founders and clinical leaders who have built and scaled successful healthcare companies. You’ll receive meaningful equity in a venture‑backed company tackling a massive problem, along with comprehensive healthcare benefits. Our hybrid work environment, with 2 days per week in our San Francisco office, provides flexibility while maintaining strong team collaboration.

Diversity is built into our DNA with a founding team representing POC, female, disabled, and LGBTQ+ founders. We strongly encourage candidates from all backgrounds to apply—many successful candidates may not meet every requirement. Studies show that underrepresented candidates often only apply when meeting 100% of qualifications; we’d love to hear from you even if you don’t check every box. Haven Headache & Migraine Center is proud to be an equal‑opportunity employer.

All aspects of employment, including hiring, promotion, discipline, and termination are based solely on merit, performance, and business needs. We do not discriminate on the basis of any legally protected status.
