Job Summary:
Qualified Health is seeking a Director, Strategic Initiatives to serve as a force multiplier for the Office of the CEO, driving the company's most important cross-functional priorities from insight to execution.
This is a role for someone who operates with low supervision and high judgment. You'll move fluidly between strategic analysis and hands-on execution, owning an initiative end to end one week, preparing the CEO for a critical decision the next. You'll represent the Office of the CEO’s thinking, identify what's falling through the cracks before anyone else does, and build the operating discipline that lets a fast-moving company scale without losing alignment.
The best health AI companies won't just build great products. They'll build the organizational muscle to scale them, the strategy, the partnerships, the cadence, and the cross-functional coordination that separates companies that grow from companies that stall. This role is for someone who wants to build that muscle.
Outcomes:
The company's most important strategic priorities move faster and with more rigor because you are operating as an extension of the office of the CEO, anticipating what's needed, not waiting to be assigned, and driving work forward with a high degree of autonomy and judgment.
Cross-functional initiatives have a clear owner. Whether a new business line, a company-wide AI transformation, or a high-stakes partnership, the initiatives that cut across functions, and therefore tend to stall, have a single accountable driver who can navigate complexity and deliver outcomes.
The company's operating cadence runs with intention. All-hands meetings, leadership offsites, OKR cycles, and board prep are moments that shape how the company thinks and works together, and you ensure they are designed and executed to move strategy forward.
The CEO and leadership team are better prepared and more aligned. Through your proximity to them and your visibility across the company, you surface what matters, sharpen the inputs to key decisions, and keep leadership aligned on priorities that shift fast.
Key Responsibilities:
STRATEGIC EXECUTION FORCE MULTIPLICATION
Be the person who makes things happen. You operate as the Chief of Staff's counterpart in execution, not waiting for direction, but anticipating what the company's most important priorities demand and driving them forward before anyone has to ask.
See around corners. Maintain a real-time view of the company's most critical strategic bets, where they're gaining momentum, where they're stalling, and what it would take to break through, and bring that picture to the leadership team with a clear point of view, not just a status update.
Think like a principal, operate like an owner. Produce the analyses, frameworks, and strategic materials that shape how Qualified Health makes its most consequential decisions, and do it with the rigor and conviction that earns a permanent seat at the table.
STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIPS NEW BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES
Own specific high-priority initiatives from scoping through execution, moving them forward while keeping the Chief of Staff informed and involved at the right moments.
Lead due diligence on new strategic opportunities: building the analytical foundation, pressure-testing assumptions, and synthesizing findings into a clear recommendation.
