VP Finance

Founded in 2017 by Carolyn Witte and Felicity Yost, Tia is the modern medical home for women. We are trailblazing a new paradigm for women’s healthcare that treats women as whole people vs. parts or life stages.  Blending in-person and virtual care services, Tia’s “Whole Woman, Whole Life” care model fuses gynecology, primary care, mental health and evidence-based wellness services to treat women comprehensively. By making women’s health higher quality and lower cost, Tia makes women healthier, providers happier, and the business of care delivery stronger — setting a new standard of care for women everywhere.

Tia has raised more than $132 Million in venture capital funding to date, including a $100 Million Series B investment, one of the largest early-stage rounds ever for a healthcare company focused on women. Since launching in 2017, Tia has grown to serve thousands of women aged 18-80 with blended in-person and virtual care in New York City, Los Angeles, Phoenix and San Francisco. In 2023, Tia announced its most recent joint venture partner, Cedars-Sinai. Tia and Cedars-Sinai plan to serve more than 100,000 women in the Los Angeles region, and aim to expand access to comprehensive women’s health care in a market with primary care/GYN provider shortages.

You're the person who understands that Finance is at the center of the organization’s success – and who is eager to design a function that can underpin the various operational needs of the company. You are a person who loves to partner with other organizational constituents to transform strategic plans into numbers, evaluate ways we can optimize to hit goals (budgetary, revenue growth, revenue capture, margin improvement etc), and report out on our progress. You are process driven, methodological, detail oriented – yet you’re strategic, great a synthesizing the story from the numbers and are able to help “bring the organization along” with critical finance concepts. You are excited to navigate with the company through upcoming strategic fundraises. 

You’re creative, motivated, sharp, and fast. You want to use financial data to improve company operations.
