HR Business Partner

About the Company

Antidote Health is a tech-driven health insurance company on a mission to make healthcare easier, accessible, and more affordable. We’re rethinking how healthcare works—using technology to remove the friction, complexity, and delays that define the traditional system. Instead of navigating paperwork, long waits, and disconnected experiences, we’re building a simpler, more connected way for people to get care.

Our platform combines health coverage, virtual care, and a modern member experience into one seamless system designed to help people actually use their benefits.

We offer Affordable Care Act (ACA) health plans in Arizona, Ohio, Georgia, and Texas, and we’re growing quickly. We’re building a company focused on solving real problems—with real impact on people’s lives.

Position Overview

We’re hiring an HR Business Partner to help shape how we support our people and grow our business.

As our HR Business Partner, you’ll help leaders build effective teams, navigate people decisions, and turn business priorities into practical action. You’ll develop a strong understanding of the teams you support, anticipate challenges, and bring recommendations that strengthen both organizational performance and the employee experience.

At our stage of growth, you’ll have the opportunity to influence how we work and take ownership of making it happen. You’ll coach managers, independently resolve employee relations matters, and partner with the VP of HR to build programs and practices that bring clarity and consistency to a fast-moving environment.

We’re looking for someone who builds trust quickly, offers a thoughtful point of view, and follows through. You should enjoy working through ambiguity, balancing immediate needs with longer-term priorities, and introducing structure that helps the business move forward.
