Role
This is not a strategy role. It is not a coordination role. It is not an advisory role. It is a build role for someone who wants real ownership, moves fast, and finds energy in problems that have never been solved before.
You will own the most critical external-facing projects that currently have no clear owner. Product launches and new business lines that have to work in the real world. Each project starts from scratch: new domain, new constraints, no template. You will figure out what the right question is, get smart fast, and drive it all the way to done.
We operate AI-first. The people who thrive here have fundamentally changed how they work and keep changing it. They're always testing what's new, replacing yesterday's workflow with something faster, and building things with AI that would have taken a full team six months ago. They pick up new tools before anyone asks them to, they automate what others still do by hand, and the bar they hold themselves to isn't what's possible today — it's what should be possible tomorrow.
The best version of this person has built real things with their own hands. They know what it feels like when the work has to survive contact with customers, partners, and markets, not just internal stakeholders. They would rather build the map than wait for one. They do the research, write the recommendations, make the call, and keep moving.
If your strongest work has been advising others, producing strategy for someone else to execute, or improving internal process, this won't be a fit.
Key Responsibilities
- Own external and market-facing projects end to end. From scoping the actual problem to delivering a finished outcome. These initiatives are high-priority and undefined by design.
- Do the work. Research new domains from scratch, structure the problem, produce real outputs: working products, plans, frameworks you then execute. Not summaries of what others should do.
- Build, not just decide. You go deep technically when the project demands it and you ship.
- Write clearly and drive alignment. Turn ambiguous situations into a point of view leadership can act on.
- Make decisions and move. You will not have perfect information. You make the call anyway and adjust.
- Work across functions. Operations, product, clinical, engineering, legal, finance. You go where the project needs you, not where the org chart points.
- Drive multi-million dollar initiatives from concept through execution, accountable for outcomes at every stage.
