ENTREPRENEUR-IN-RESIDENCE (Business Director, Oncology)
About the Role
Root Causes Oncology is seeking an Entrepreneur-in-Residence / Business Director to fortify and scale a unique, effective, and loved offering (80+ NPS) that stands in stark contrast to the standard "sickcare" system. Patients travel for hours and across state lines for our innovative weeklong immersive program, which addresses the underlying causes of cancer rather than just eliminating the disease. Reporting to the CEO (former Sequoia-backed Co-founder) and working with the Head of Clinical Oncology, you will own global supply sourcing, the end-to-end patient experience, overall growth and partnership strategy, the P&L, and all other operations. The shared goal is to scale the program to ten times its current size and beyond while measurably improving quality of care, humanity of experience, and patient outcomes.
The Mission
Support Root Causes in treating ten times as many cancer patients as they do today within 3-6 months, with improving operational effectiveness and outcomes as growth continues. Then help them 10X again, and again, and again.
What You'll Own
You'll own all things business, operations, and growth at Root Causes Oncology, reporting directly to the CEO — so the head of clinical oncology can stay focused on the medicine.
- The patient journey. Own all operations in support of the patient journey — from sourcing proprietary supplies, to the onboarding funnel, to capturing inspiring testimonials, all while protecting and nourishing that feeling of deep care that's crucial to success.
- The growth engine. Manage referral relationships and outreach that bring the right patients to Root Causes, including from existing networks and communities already in search of what they offer, to the creation of their own network of relationships.
- The path to scale. Oversee the unit economics and the operating plan that enable growth while enhancing what patients value most.
- All other business and operations related areas.
Who You Are
- A "full-stack" business builder who is excited to design and build from first principles.
- An operator who instruments everything and leaves nothing to chance.
- Numbers-fluent — you read unit economics and turn them into decisions.
- A natural and inspiring collaborator who works well with others while still fully owning calls that are yours to make.
- Mission-driven — here for the people Root Causes serves, and it shows in how you work.
- Decisive — you keep things moving and know which decisions deserve extra care.
