About The Role

Join our team as the Head of Special Projects, where you will take ownership of critical external-facing projects with no clear owner. This is a build role for someone who thrives on solving complex problems and wants to make a real impact. You will drive multi-million dollar initiatives from concept through execution, working across functions and making decisions with incomplete information. The ideal candidate has a strong technical foundation, a track record of owning ambiguous problems, and a passion for building and shipping real products.

  • Posséder et diriger des projets externes critiques sans propriétaire clair, en allant de la définition du problème à la livraison d'un résultat final.
  • Effectuer des recherches sur de nouveaux domaines, structurer le problème et produire des résultats concrets, tels que des produits fonctionnels, des plans et des cadres.
  • Travailler en collaboration avec différentes fonctions de l'entreprise, y compris les opérations, le produit, l'ingénierie, le juridique et les finances, pour mener à bien des initiatives multi-millionnaires.
  • Mission-driven. Genuinely believes preventive healthcare is one of the most important problems to get right
  • You have built real things. Shipped product, written code, founded a company and/or stood up a new business/product line. You can point to things that exist in the world because you made them
  • Writes well. Clear, structured, direct. You can take a complex situation and turn it into something people can act on
  • 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
  • Technical foundation, expanded. Started in engineering, product, analytics, research, data or any 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 at fit for this role
  • AI-native. You use modern AI tools fluently to build and ship
  • Has built something real from scratch. A product, a company, a business line, a technical system. Understands what zero-to-one actually requires
  • Strong written communication. You can show your work and it holds up
  • 7+ years with a track record of owning hard, ambiguous problems and driving them to completion
  • Can point to specific things they built and shipped, with real outcomes and real numbers
  • Has managed complex, multi-stakeholder projects where they held the thread together
  • Your dedication to these responsibilities will directly contribute to the success of our team and the satisfaction of our membership. We are looking for a proactive, skilled, and forward-thinking individual to join our team and help shape the future of our services
  • We don’t let perfect get in the way of progress
  • Sustained Integrity in Every Detail:
  • We embrace new tech to deliver better outcomes
  • We create clear, actionable, human experiences
  • We disagree and commit
  • We communicate clearly and respectfully, rallying around shared goals

  • We prioritize what drives impact
  • We clear paths for each other and move fast together

  • We are aligned in purpose, prioritization, and speed
  • Ruthless Prioritization:
  • We earn trust by obsessing over accuracy, quality, and clarity in everything we do
  • One Team, Moving Fast:
  • We are ruthlessly aligned to our mission—and leave ego at the door
  • We design and deliver like we’re caring for someone we love
  • We don't tolerate politics or withholding information
  • We act with urgency and precision
  • We sweat the details because outcomes depend on them
  • We empower members with truth, clarity, and care
  • Radical Ownership, Relentless Execution:
  • We anticipate, initiate, and follow through
  • We don’t just ship—we own outcomes and drive results
  • We operate with honesty, transparency, and respect
  • We gather diverse perspectives to make informed decisions
  • We move quickly to drive value, not perfection
  • We never compromise on standards of excellence
