Michelle Zhuang’s Post

Today marks eight months at Marble Health, and I’m still in awe of the scale and urgency of the youth mental health crisis we’re tackling. The stats are staggering: - 1 in 10 teens attempted suicide last year - Rates of depression and anxiety among youth are the highest ever recorded - Only a fraction of kids who need care get it, blocked by long waitlists and providers who don’t take their insurance The research is clear: adverse childhood experiences don’t just stay in childhood. They also ripple into adulthood, driving worse outcomes in mental health, physical health, and education. Solving youth mental health is therefore one of the most powerful levers we have for building a happier, healthier society. As kids, we dream about changing the world - I joined Marble to come back to those roots and work on something that truly contributes to the kind of society we want to see (and not just shareholder returns!) Since then, I’ve had the chance to: - Work with an incredible team on gnarly problems (shoutout Qi Xu, William Bertrand, Marco Cabrera and the Bread Pod!) - Lead vendor negotiations - Build new processes and product for the first time - Manage a half-dozen contractors It’s been the most dynamic, challenging, and growth-filled role I’ve ever had. We’re scaling fast - so fast that we literally can’t build product quickly enough to meet demand - and we’re looking for more people to join us! Why you should join Marble: - You want to do work that matters - You’re excited by hard problems with high impact - You want to join a startup in execution mode, not “does anyone care?” mode - You don’t mind eating glass day in and day out because you care about the mission - You want to work with sharp, kind teammates You may not be a fit if: - You need lots of structure or close management - You’re not excited by impact and prefer a traditional 9-5 - Shipping fast scares you We’re hiring across BizOps and Engineering - come build with us: marblehealth.com/careers
