Head of Special Projects

Company Overview:

Role:

Key Responsibilities:

• Own external/market 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: recommendations, plans, frameworks. Not summaries of what others should do.
• Write clearly and drive alignment. Turn ambiguous situations into a point of view leadership can act on. Keep stakeholders informed and bring the right people in at the right time.
• Make decisions and move. You will not have perfect information. You will make the call anyway and adjust as needed.
• Work across functions. Operations, product, clinical, legal, finance. You go where the project needs you, not where the org chart points.
• Drive multi-million dollar initiatives from concept through execution, staying accountable for outcomes at every stage.

Qualifications/Skills:

• External-facing scope required. Your experience must include owning medium to large scale initiatives that operate outside the business: product launches, new business lines, M&A integrations, or market expansions. 
• Doer first. You do not delegate the hard parts. You go deep, get your hands dirty, and produce work product others can act on.
• Moves fast under uncertainty. Comfortable without a playbook. Makes good calls with incomplete information and adjusts quickly when things change.
• Writes well. Clear, structured, direct. You can take a complex situation and turn it into something people can act on.
• Strong judgment. Knows which details matter and which do not. Spends time accordingly.
• High ownership. Full accountability for outcomes, not just effort. Takes initiative without being asked.
• Mission-driven. Genuinely believes preventive healthcare is one of the most important problems to get right and wants their work to be part of making it real.

Core Experience Requirements:

• 7+ years of experience with a track record of owning hard, ambiguous problems and driving them to completion.
• Has built something from scratch. A team, product, process, or business. Understands what zero-to-one actually requires.
• Has managed complex, multi-stakeholder projects where they were the one holding the thread together.
• Can point to specific examples of turning a vague, undefined problem into a clear path forward and then executing it.
• Strong written communication. You can show your work, and it holds up.
