About The Position

Root Causes Oncology is seeking an Entrepreneur-in-Residence, also referred to as a Business Director, Oncology. This role offers a unique opportunity to scale a successful and impactful healthcare offering focused on addressing the underlying causes of cancer, rather than just the symptoms. The company differentiates itself by asking fundamental questions about why the body allows cancer to thrive and then systematically addressing these root causes through an innovative weeklong immersive program. Patients travel from afar for this care, experiencing significant benefits. The Entrepreneur-in-Residence will be instrumental in refining and scaling every aspect of the offering to reach more people and make a broader impact. This role reports to the CEO and works with the Head of Clinical Oncology, taking ownership of global supply sourcing, the end-to-end patient experience, growth and partnership strategy, P&L, and all other operations. The shared goal is to achieve significant growth while enhancing the quality of care, the humanity of the patient experience, and patient outcomes. The ideal candidate is likely a former founder or early-stage startup veteran who values proven business fundamentals and Product/Market Fit over hype. Root Causes Oncology is building from a strong, profitable foundation with the long-term vision of making cancer a rare condition and fundamentally reinventing medicine. The company also plans to scale offerings for other chronic conditions inadequately addressed by the standard care model.
