Sword Health is on a mission to free two billion people from pain.
With 67% of members achieving a pain-free life and a 70% reduction in surgery intent, at Sword, we are using AI Care to change lives, and save millions for our 25,000+ enterprise clients across three continents. Today, we hold the majority of industry patents, win 70% of competitive evaluations, and have raised more than $300 million from top venture firms like Founders Fund, Sapphire Ventures, General Catalyst, and Khosla Ventures.
Recognized as a Forbes Best Startup Employer in 2025, this award highlights our focus on being a destination for the best and brightest talent. Not only have we experienced unprecedented growth since our market debut in 2020, but we’ve also created a remarkable mission and value-driven environment that is loved by our growing team. With a recent valuation of $4 billion, we are in a phase of hyper growth and expansion, and we’re looking for individuals with passion, commitment, and energy to help us scale our global impact.
Joining Sword means committing to a set of core values, chief amongst them to “do it for the patients” every day, and to always “deliver more than expected” on behalf of our members and clients.
This is an opportunity for you to make a significant difference on a massive scale as you work alongside 1000+ (and growing!) talented colleagues, spanning three continents. Your charge? To help us build a pain-free world, powered by AI, enhanced by people — accessible to all.
The Clinical Specialist for the Mind program is the clinical voice of our commercial operations. This role provides clinical insights and expertise to support the commercial team during all stages of the sales process, throughout implementation, and across the customer lifecycle.
As the first Clinical Specialist in Mind, you will also play a pivotal role in building the Clinical Specialist function for the program — creating processes, defining standards, and helping to recruit and mentor future team members as we scale.
What You’ll Do
Commercial Support & Representation
Partner with the commercial team to deliver compelling live demos (in-person and remote) that highlight the value, quality, and differentiation of Mind’s evidence-based, multimodal mental fitness program.
Provide a seamless experience for prospective clients during “demo journeys” or “test drives” of Mind.
Share impactful stories that bring Mind’s offering to life, drawing from research, program results, and case examples.
Serve as a subject matter expert (SME) for internal teams (e.g., content development, messaging) and in external settings (e.g., conferences, webinars).
Function Building & Future Team Development
Drive the creation of the structure, workflows, and best practices for the Mind Clinical Specialist role.
Identify gaps and propose scalable solutions for clinical-commercial integration.
Partner with leadership on hiring plans, recruiting, onboarding, and training for future Mind Clinical Specialists.
Serve as an escalation point for complex clinical questions from internal teams and clients as the team grows.
