Who we are

Cityblock Health is a new type of healthcare company, operating out of Brooklyn and backed by Alphabet’s Sidewalk Labs, along with some of the top healthcare investors in the country.

Our mission is to radically improve the health of urban communities, one block at a time. Importantly, our solutions are designed specifically for Medicaid and lower-income Medicare beneficiaries, and we bring the capability to deliver care in the home and neighborhood with our field-based teams.

In close collaboration with community-based organizations and leading commercial partners, we are reorganizing the health system to focus on what matters to our members. We deliver personalized primary care, behavioral health, and social services through a network of neighborhood hubs with deep community-based partnerships and world-class technology.

We partner with payers and at-risk providers, accepting capitated financial risk to care for their most vulnerable, high and rising risk members. Additionally, we invest in strategic partnerships with community-based and social services organizations, in some instances bringing them into the value equation through sub-capitation and performance-based compensation.

Over the next year we’ll grow quickly, including entering new markets, each with their own commercial relationships and field-based teams. This role will be a key contributor to the success of our business, and work closely with executive leadership.

The Role:

The Marketing team at Cityblock is embarking on an exciting period—we’re building out the function to have a critical role in bringing better care to neighborhoods where it’s needed most. As Head of Marketing & Engagement, you will set the overall direction and strategy of our brand and public identity and have a critical role in driving growth, especially in increasing Cityblock membership in lower-income communities around the country.

In this role, you will bring an analytically and operationally rigorous lens to marketing and member engagement activities and will make decisions informed by data, research, and testing, grounding our work in a deep understanding of the members and communities we will serve.
