This role will engage with commercial and public-sector leaders at the forefront of health and technology, and manage multidisciplinary teams to accelerate innovation and launch groundbreaking programs.
Our work takes many forms –– including strategic advisory, prototyping, piloting, program design and delivery, and nontraditional incentive methodologies such as accelerators and prize competitions.
We take an agile, “no surprises” approach to consulting, working hand-in-hand with our clients to “make it real.” This entails desk research, convening multidisciplinary stakeholders, facilitating alignment among partners, mapping ecosystems, creating frameworks for thoughtful and considered decision-making, building scenarios around opportunity areas, selecting pathways, designing strategic programs — and ultimately, operationalizing and launching new initiatives. When the bets are big and the stakes are high, our clients come to us for rapid alignment, smart strategies, and agile execution.
Representative engagements include strategy and advisory (measuring the impact of an improved experience on the vaccination rate, making a smarter bet on digital health) and bringing products to life (prototyping software and hardware solutions). Our open innovation engagements include Mission Daybreak, a $20 million grand challenge advancing behavioral health tech to reduce Veteran suicides and a $100 million partnership with BARDA to improve pandemic preparedness and accelerate new vaccine technologies.
This is a full-time role in New York City reporting to the Senior Director, Future of Health and Scientific Discovery.
Please note that our team has embraced a hybrid model for our five-day work week, with two synchronous days in the office and three days wherever you work best. This role is based in New York City and will join our team in the office on Tuesdays and Wednesdays most weeks.
