Human Resources Business Partner

About Blooming Health

Blooming Health is an early-stage, mission-driven startup transforming how aging and vulnerable populations receive care and support. We are passionate about building inclusive technology solutions that improve outcomes for millions of lives. We are a technology platform transforming how social care is delivered in the U.S. We partner with community-based organizations, health systems, and government agencies to close the "last mile" of care — ensuring underserved populations can access the services they need, when and how they need them.

Our platform uses AI-powered multilingual engagement and workflow automation to screen for social needs, coordinate referrals, and track follow-ups across food, housing, transportation, benefits, and more. It works across SMS, voice, and email — on any device, in 80+ languages — and now includes our Social Care AI Agent, a 24/7 digital assistant that makes outreach, enrollment, and navigation seamless for both individuals and care teams.

As we scale, we’re looking for exceptional leaders to join our journey and help shape our team, culture, and impact.
