Medical Linguistics Lead (Multiple Languages - 100% Remote)
* Full-time
Welcome to the good side of tech
You might have heard about us, but under a different name: Doctoralia. It all started 10 years ago when we asked ourselves: is anyone in healthcare thinking about patients? We jumped in and empowered patients by giving them access to leave and read reviews about their visits. We then provided doctors with technology to manage bookings easily and save time, so they could focus on what they love: treating patients. Today, we invite you to join us in making the healthcare experience more human.
Docplanner at scale
We are leaders in 13 countries, trusted by over 90 million patients monthly. Nearly 300,000 specialists believe in our platform, supported by leading venture capital firms such as Point Nine Capital, Goldman Sachs Asset Management, and One Peak Partners.
