Head of Special Projects - Technical

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.

Qualifications

• STEM background, required. A degree in computer science, engineering, math, physics, biology, chemistry, or a comparable technical field and has actually worked in STEM.
• You have built real things. Shipped product, written code, founded a company, stood up a new business line. You can point to things that exist in the world because you made them.
• Technical foundation, expanded. Started in engineering, analytics or a hard technical role and moved into product, founded a vc backed company, or operating roles where they still own the build. A career centered on strategy, advisory, or internal optimization is not a fit for this role.
• AI-native. You use modern AI tools fluently to build and ship.
• 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.
• Writes well. Clear, structured, direct. You can take a complex situation and turn it into something people can act on.
• Mission-driven. Genuinely believes preventive healthcare is one of the most important problems to get right.

Core Experience Requirements

• STEM degree from a strong program.
• 7-10 years with a track record of owning hard, ambiguous problems and driving them to completion.
• Has built something real from scratch. A product, a company, a business line, a technical system. Understands what zero-to-one actually requires.
• Has managed complex, multi-stakeholder projects where they held the thread together.
• Can point to specific things they built and shipped, with real outcomes and real numbers.
• Strong written communication. You can show your work and it holds up.
