About The Position

Thyme Care is hiring a Strategic Initiatives Lead to own high-stakes, ambiguous programs at the intersection of AI and new business development. The initial focus is shaping a new front door to cancer care that helps people navigate care from diagnosis, often before they have chosen where to receive treatment. The role will adapt its priorities as the team learns and identifies new opportunities. Adjacent to the AI Platform, this role will lead AI-heavy initiatives from early hypothesis through execution and scale. It will work directly with the Head of AI and collaborate across Marketing, Product, Engineering, Clinical, Operations, Legal, and Security. The role combines strategic program ownership, consumer product and acquisition work, stakeholder engagement, and development of external-facing materials and scalable playbooks. The position is based on Thyme Care's mission to make cancer care more connected, compassionate, and confident through high-touch human support, technology, data science, automation, and AI.
