Full Job Description
About the role:We are looking for a Certified Nurse-Midwife (CNM) to join our growing maternity care practice. We're searching for someone who is thoughtful and passionate about delivering patient-centric, judgment-free care, and is excited to join a dynamic and innovative team.

This is the perfect opportunity for a CNM who is excited to expand their skill set and help define and build a new best-in-class maternity care experience. You will be responsible for delivering full-spectrum perinatal care, as well as helping to shape and refine Oula's clinical care model.

At Oula, midwives lead their own panels within a truly collaborative model - OB-GYNs are integrated members of the same team, not a separate referral tier - and our patients deliver at our partner hospital. With fewer C-sections and higher VBAC success rates, our research-backed approach delivers better outcomes for the communities we serve. This is the autonomy-with-backup practice many midwives are looking for and rarely find.

This is a full-time position with a flexible schedule that varies based on market and operational needs. At steady-state staffing, a typical schedule includes approximately two office days per week, an average of 24 hours of on-call coverage per week (with a protected post-call day off where applicable), and dedicated administrative and didactic time. During the launch of new markets or other ramp-up periods, scheduling needs-including on-call responsibilities-may temporarily be greater as the practice grows. Part-time and per-diem arrangements may be available depending on clinic needs.

Key Responsibilities:
  • Provides full-scope midwifery care during pregnancy, labor, birth, and postpartum across a variety of settings: our clinics, our partner hospital, and virtually.
  • Attends births as the primary delivering clinician for low-risk patients, supporting physiologic labor and birth while recognizing when escalation or consultation is indicated.
  • Collaborates with other team members (e.g., obstetricians, nurses, MAs, doulas, coordinators, therapists, etc.) to provide whole-person care.
  • Communicates effectively with patients during and between appointments to ensure questions are answered and concerns are addressed by leveraging Oula's technology. Able and excited to educate about and promote the midwifery model of care to current and prospective patients, with a focus on growing Oula's patient population.
  • Works collaboratively with Oula's product & engineering team to give feedback on the patient portal to create a more personalized, inclusive, and consistent approach to care.

About you:
  • Are passionate about improving maternity care through a combination of clinical care, technology, patient empowerment, and education
  • Are enthusiastic about collaborative care models leveraging diverse teams with a wide variety of skill-sets
  • Exude empathy and compassion for patients and team members alike and can rally your team to provide exceptional patient experience regardless of the situation
  • Uphold the core principles of reproductive justice to support principles of body autonomy, self-determination and cultural respect
  • Are comfortable with ambiguity and change, and energized by building processes from the ground up
  • Are excited about realizing the Oula mission, and building the kind of collaborative practice that midwives and patients dream about

Desired Experience & Qualifications:
  • Must hold active state licensure as required to practice midwifery in the clinic's state (or be eligible to obtain it before start), and current certification by the AMCB as a Certified Nurse-Midwife or Certified Midwife
  • Two or more years of full-scope clinical midwifery experience preferred; we also welcome strong earlier-career candidates who are approaching that mark
  • Experience caring for diverse communities with a wide variety of needs
  • Great professional references and a reputation for providing exceptional patient care valued by your patients and colleagues
  • Experience with telemedicine or elements of virtual care
  • Any extra "bonus" skills or passions that will help us serve our patients (i.e. the ability to communicate with patients in their preferred language, passion for birth equity work, lactation certification, nutrition/diabetes training, etc.)

Preferred Skills
  • Early pregnancy loss options counseling and medical management
  • Familiarity with Perinatal Mental Health
  • Basic bedside sonography skills (1st Trimester Viability and positioning confirmation)

Oula offers a competitive total rewards package which includes base salary, and comprehensive benefits. Exact compensation inclusive of salary and any bonuses is determined based on a number of factors including experience and skill level, location, and qualifications which are assessed during the interview process. Oula is committed to fostering an inclusive workplace where everyone's contributions are valued.
