Director, Office of the CEO, Founder in Residence Program

Responsibilities

• Own CEO-Priority Projects: Lead one or more of BillionToOne's highest-priority strategic and operational initiatives each quarter, sourced directly from the CEO and Office of the CEO. Project types span new product launch support, commercial and go-to-market strategy, business development, operational excellence, competitive response, and the incubation of new business lines.
• Find Broken Things and Fix Them: Identify under-performing processes, workflows, or functions. Diagnose root cause, design the fix, and drive execution end-to-end with cross-functional teams.
• Cross-Functional Leadership: Lead and influence cross-functional teams across Sales, Product, Lab Operations, Compliance, Reimbursement, Finance, BD, Legal, and HR. Build deep working knowledge of how each function operates through the projects you lead.
• Operate with AI: Drive results in ambiguous, fast-moving environments. Use first-principles thinking and AI-native fluency to move faster than the company would otherwise be able to.
• CEO and Executive Partnership: Participate in CEO meetings, present to the executive team on an ongoing basis, and serve as a trusted thought partner to the CEO and Chief of Staff on company-shaping decisions.
