Hello Heart is seeking an exceptional, versatile strategy Director to lead our most complex and business-critical opportunities.

• Own the analytics behind the initiative you're leading in collaboration with finance, product, and go-to-market teams (e.g. market sizing, policy analysis, forecasting, and pricing)
• Break down highly complex, ambiguous business problems into structured components. Develop clear, actionable recommendations and lead the business through solution design and decision-making.
• Define success upfront. Establish and track KPIs and OKRs that are tied to the specific problem at hand. Build tools and processes to monitor progress and drive accountability.
• Operate as the owner of your initiative — driving it from strategy to execution with tight coordination, structured communication, and clear deliverables.

Qualifications:

• Advanced degree (Master's or MBA) required
• 7+ years of experience and experience in management consulting consulting or corporate strategy, with at least 2 years experience inhouse within the digital health
• Demonstrated ability to independently lead cross-functional initiatives from zero to one and push through ambiguity to drive results.
