Practice Lead

👋 Meet knownwell, weight-inclusive healthcare for all. Join a dynamic company that is changing the way obesity care is delivered. We offer weight management, primary care, nutrition counseling, and health coaching. Our hybrid care model allows for both in-clinic and virtual care to bring support to patients where and when they need it.

knownwell raised $25 million in strategic funding in October 2025, led by CVS Health Ventures and supported by investors including a16z Bio + Health, Flare Capital, MassMutual, and Intermountain Ventures. With $50M raised to date, we’re scaling fast and expanding access to evidence-based obesity care nationwide.

We’re looking for a Practice Lead to join our team and help launch a new knownwell clinic in Weymouth, MA.
