About the role
We are seeking accomplished physicians, healthcare executives, founders, investors, operators and industry leaders to advise Graphora and support emerging healthcare businesses. Your contribution can include strategic guidance, company and market evaluation, founder support, and relationships that help businesses reach clinical, commercial, distribution and strategic-capital partners. The focus spans digital health, clinical AI, biotechnology, medical devices, diagnostics, life sciences, insurance, benefits and healthcare services.
How you can contribute
- Advise on healthcare-market needs, clinical adoption, procurement, market access and commercialization, drawing on your own area of expertise.
- Help founders understand the needs of health systems, physician and dental groups, payers, employers, benefits teams and other healthcare buyers.
- Identify suitable clinical, research, product-development and distribution partners; help prepare founders for substantive partner conversations.
- Support introductions for appropriate pilots and commercial partnerships in areas such as care delivery, virtual care, clinical workflow, revenue cycle and medical technology.
- Help identify pharmaceutical, biotechnology, diagnostic and medical-device partnerships where your background is relevant.
- Connect health-plan and benefits businesses with staffing firms, gig platforms, contractor networks and other organizations serving independent contractors and 1099 workers.
- Introduce relevant healthcare investors, provider-backed venture teams and corporate partners through Graphora’s agreed process; an advisor is not required to invest personally.
Relevant professional experience
- Significant professional experience in one or more of healthcare delivery, medicine, health-system operations, insurance, benefits, digital health, biotechnology, diagnostics, medical devices or life sciences.
- A record of contribution as an executive, founder, operator, advisor, investor or other senior industry leader.
- Practical knowledge of how healthcare organizations assess, buy, adopt, develop or distribute new products and services.
- Relevant decision-maker relationships and examples of partnerships, commercialization or organizational outcomes you helped achieve.
- Experience in healthcare entrepreneurship, venture capital, private equity or angel investing can be relevant, but is not required of every applicant.
The relationships you bring
Clinical and customer relationships
Health-system executives, physician and dental groups, clinical operations leaders, employers, benefits decision-makers, insurers and healthcare purchasing teams.

Engagement and compensation
Advisory engagements start at 2–4 hours per month and may increase to 40 hours per month for advisory and board engagements, depending on the agreed scope. Work is primarily remote, with any local meetings or hybrid participation agreed separately. The city identifies the professional market you can support; it does not imply a Graphora office or a fixed in-person schedule.
Compensation varies by role and engagement. Venture scouting, capital formation support, portfolio-company advisory, board and operational engagements have different arrangements. Depending on the separately agreed engagement, compensation may include cash, carried-interest or equity participation; no universal hourly rate, award or participation amount is promised by this listing. Scope, compensation, any vesting and other terms are agreed in writing before the engagement begins.

Applying with Graphora
Create or sign in to your free Graphora membership and use your saved professional profile to apply for the selected specialty and city. Your résumé and LinkedIn information help the team understand your experience; you do not need to repeat your full professional history. The investment-background questions are self-attestations, not independent accreditation verification. Graphora reviews applications and discusses suitable responsibilities and engagement terms with selected applicants.
No investment, paid subscription or purchase is required for advisory consideration. This is an Advisory Board Member opportunity, not a fiduciary Board of Directors appointment or a full-time employee position. Professional contribution and role needs guide selection; applying does not guarantee an appointment. Graphora welcomes qualified applicants from all backgrounds.
