📋 Description

• Lead cross-functional execution across early-stage ventures, partnering with engineering, data science, commercial, legal, privacy, compliance, and operations teams. • Prepare and facilitate client working sessions, discovery conversations, pilot reviews, and executive touchpoints that build trust, alignment, and momentum. • Translate venture strategy, customer insight, and vision into clear priorities, roadmaps, operating plans, and measurable outcomes. • Clarify customer problems, pressure-test assumptions, define MVPs, shape discovery plans, and keep teams focused on user, customer, and business value. • Design and run lightweight venture operating systems, including planning rhythms, build reviews, milestone tracking, launch readiness, risk reviews, and executive reporting. • Create clarity in ambiguous environments by surfacing the right questions, structuring decisions, and helping teams move forward without unnecessary process. • Help teams adopt modern ways of working, including customer discovery, rapid learning loops, agile delivery, disciplined experimentation, prototyping, and continuous improvement. • Identify risks, dependencies, resourcing constraints, and unclear ownership early, then drive practical solutions.

🎯 Requirements

• Have 10 or more years of experience leading complex work in product-led, technology-enabled, consulting, innovation, or venture-building environments. • Have operated as a product operations leader, product strategy lead, chief of staff, strategic program leader, venture operator, business operations leader, or senior cross-functional execution lead. • Have led client-facing workstreams and can translate client input into product, pilot, and go-to-market decisions. • Bring strong fluency across discovery, strategy, design tradeoffs, prioritization, MVP definition, launch readiness, experimentation, and success metrics. • Can bring structure to ambiguity without creating bureaucracy, moving easily between strategy and detail. • Have executive presence, low ego, and the ability to influence senior stakeholders without needing to own every decision. • Strong candidates may also have experience in healthcare, healthcare technology, data, analytics, AI, enterprise software, consulting, or other regulated environments. • Experience supporting zero-to-one or one-to-scale product development. • Experience introducing new tools, AI-enabled workflows, automation, prototyping methods, or knowledge management practices. • Experience partnering with commercial teams on market validation, customer feedback, launch planning, pricing, packaging, or go-to-market readiness. • A track record of improving how teams learn from customers, make product decisions, manage dependencies, communicate, and hold themselves accountable.
