- Job Description
Virta is an online specialty medical clinic that reverses type 2 diabetes, pre-diabetes, and obesity safely and sustainably without the risks, costs, or side effects of medications or surgery. Our innovations in the application of nutritional biochemistry, data science, and digital tools--combined with our clinical expertise--are shifting the diabetes treatment paradigm from management to reversal.
Virta has developed a novel, team-based care model that delivers the Virta treatment exclusively through a telemedicine platform, with no brick-and-mortar clinics. Our clinical trial, which has already produced six peer-reviewed publications, shows that the Virta treatment has lowered hemoglobin A1c values under the diabetes threshold while discontinuing diabetes medications.
The American Diabetes Association has endorsed the core component of the Virta treatment, personalized carbohydrate restriction, as a first-line nutritional therapy for people with type 2 diabetes.
We’ve been reversing diabetes for the last seven years, we see patients in all 50 states, and we are expanding our reach to patients with pre-diabetes and obesity. Our mission: Reverse type 2 diabetes in 100 million people.
To achieve that mission, Virta is looking for an experienced leader to help build and manage this new Team of RN CDE's as a player-coach.
Calling out two key requirements of the role:
You must hold an active RN license in a Nursing Compact state.
In your application you must demonstrate that as a manager, you have helped your direct reports improve their skills and develop their careers, hired for quality and counseled people out, and built team cohesion and rapport.
Responsibilities:
Build and manage a team of 10-15 outstanding part-time nurses, including managing QA/QI, supervision, scheduling, and working with our administrative team to manage licensure of team members.

Conduct 20-minute clinical intake visits with prospective patients via video and/or phone. Intakes include verifying and documenting a clinical history, verifying medications, answering basic questions about Virta treatment, and identifying and flagging concerning history or labs for provider review.
Educate patients about Virta and Virta’s treatment and helping them prepare for their nutritional and behavioral journey with Virta, setting them up for clinical success.
