  • Blavity Inc.
  • Los Angeles, CA

Job Description

Blavity, Inc. is a venture-funded media and technology company, founded in 2014 around a simple idea: enable Black millennials to tell their own stories. Today, we are home to the largest network of platforms and lifestyle brands serving the multifaceted lives of Black millennials & Gen Z through original content, video, unique experiences, and product solutions. Blavity Inc. has evolved into a market leader for Black media, reaching 250 million users per month through our growing brand portfolio, including Blavity , Blavity360º , AfroTech , Talent Infusion , 21Ninety , Travel Noire , Home & Texture , and Blavity House Party . Our Blavity, Inc. employee community is composed of passionate, energetic, and culturally conscious individuals working together to deliver value to each other, the company, and our clients. We are always searching for new additions to our community that will help us continue to scale, contribute meaningfully to our culture, and advance our strategic direction.

Job Summary: 

Blavity Inc. is seeking a Senior Advisor, Health Tech & Informatics to serve as a strategic connector, ecosystem guide, and advisor across our expanding health innovation portfolio. This executive-level contractor will work closely with the CEO and SVP of AfroTech + Live Events to advance our thought leadership, partnerships, and convening strategy at the intersection of digital health, AI, and health equity.

The ideal candidate is a credible operator in the health tech and informatics ecosystem with a deep understanding of how innovation, equity, and technology converge. You may come from a background in medicine, clinical informatics, digital health, or enterprise leadership — and while a clinical degree (MD, DO, RN, PharmD) is a plus, it is not required.

This role is especially well-suited for someone seeking a fractional, high-impact engagement : a leader who wants to use their expertise and network to influence the future of equitable health innovation without a full-time commitment.

This role reports directly to the Office of the CEO and SVP of AfroTech + Live Events.

Responsibilities: 

  • Drive Thought Leadership & Representation
    • Represent Blavity Inc. and its brands at major health innovation conferences (e.g., HLTH, HIMSS, AMA, APHA), serving as a speaker, moderator, or delegate.
    • Serve as second chair on strategic calls with digital health startups, government orgs, and enterprise partners—helping frame opportunities and navigate stakeholder dynamics.
    • Support internal team leaders with prep and debrief for high-stakes meetings and help shape strategic partnership approaches.
  • Curate Executive-Level Convenings
    • Host and co-lead Health Stack Dinners and roundtables in parallel with major industry events (e.g., JPM, HLTH, AfroTech)
    • Curate top-tier guest lists across public health, tech, pharma, and AI—ensuring the right mix of influence and innovation in the room.
    • Collaborate with internal stakeholders to drive meaningful engagement from both guests and Blavity’s leadership team.
  • Ecosystem Navigation & Strategic Introductions
    • Identify emerging companies, leaders, and institutions shaping the future of health equity and digital health
    • Advise AfroTech on partner prioritization and warm outreach strategies—facilitating introductions or suggesting pathfinding approaches.
    • Serve as a guide to the health tech and policy landscape, helping the team show up with relevance, clarity, and intention.
  • Content & Editorial Advising (Quarterly)
    • Meet quarterly with content and editorial teams to advise on emerging trends, policy developments, and industry movements.
    • Provide input on story framing, key narratives, and subject-matter experts for health equity, AI in health, and public policy content.

Key Qualifications: 

  • Required Experience :
    • 10+ years of experience in health informatics, medicine, digital health, or health innovation leadership.

    • Strong network in digital health, informatics, or pharma.

    • Experience speaking or moderating on stages at industry events.

  • Additional Qualifications :
    • Clinical degree (MD, DO, RN, PharmD, etc.) a plus, but not required.
    • Deep expertise in health systems, clinical informatics, and the intersection of technology and health equity.
    • Comfortable representing organizations on stage and in high-level rooms
    • Demonstrated ability to connect across sectors: government, corporate, startup, and community
    • Strong network and relationships in health innovation, including familiarity with organizations such as AMA, CDC, NIH, Verily, or Gilead
    • Passion for elevating health equity and shaping the future of tech-enabled care
    • Familiarity with Black health initiatives, especially maternal health, chronic disease prevention, or blood donation

Details

  • This is a fully remote, U.S.- based role. Quarterly Travel Required
  • Candidates must be authorized to work in the U.S.
  • Candidates must be able to work at least 25% in alignment with the Pacific Time Zone. 
  • Retainer-Based Contract
