Yuzu is modernizing health insurance administration for self-funded employers. The company is building a platform that simplifies how employers create and manage custom health plans, similar to how Shopify democratized e-commerce. The $1.3 trillion health insurance industry currently relies on outdated infrastructure (fax machines, Excel macros), and Yuzu is replacing this with data-driven, compliant solutions.
As an Operations Associate on the Legal & Compliance team, you'll work at the intersection of healthcare law, product, and engineering. The role is broad and hands-on: you'll research complex compliance questions around HIPAA and mental health parity, review No Surprises Act (NSA) cases, file regulatory reports, support appeals processes, and collaborate with engineers to build product solutions that make compliance easier for employers.
You'll be part of a small, detail-oriented team that touches nearly every function at Yuzu. The work requires independent thinking, comfort with ambiguity, and a willingness to challenge assumptions. You'll learn the business deeply—from the regulatory landscape to Yuzu's technical approach to solving legal problems.
The ideal candidate loves reading, researching, and writing. You ask good questions, take ownership of unfamiliar work, and can communicate with external partners confidently. You think from first principles rather than relying on precedent. You're ethical, curious about product and technology, and driven by the mission to fix healthcare infrastructure. You thrive in a fast-paced, autonomous environment where you'll sometimes do work outside your job description and develop your own sense of what matters.
Yuzu operates with radical transparency and clarity—bad news isn't softened, and assumptions are questioned daily. The company requires 5 days/week in-office at their West Village/Chelsea headquarters in NYC. This is the right fit if you find autonomy energizing rather than disorienting.
