Managing Director of New Ventures
Redesign Health, New York, NY, United States
What You’ll Do
As Managing Director, New Ventures, you will run Redesign’s side of the partnership with Cedars‑Sinai end to end. Your role is to take clinical pain points and institutional white‑space and turn them into funded, founder‑led operating companies.
Partnership Operations & Governance Own the day‑to‑day relationship between Redesign Health and Cedars‑Sinai. Serve as the accountable driver of delivery against the partnership’s commitments. Prepare materials for and participate in Joint Operating Committee, Steering Committee, and Investment Committee meetings. Build deep, trust‑based relationships with clinical and administrative stakeholders across the health system — department heads, researchers, operational leaders, and the Digital Innovation team — so that when opportunities surface, you are the first person they call.
Thesis Development & Co‑Ideation Work inside Cedars‑Sinai’s clinical ecosystem to identify problems worth building companies around. Engage directly with clinicians, researchers, and operational leaders to understand where digital solutions can create outsized value. Translate those insights into original investment theses grounded in stakeholder willingness to pay, clinical workflow integration, and market structure. The platform’s initial focus areas include personalized medicine, specialty care access, hospital workflow optimization, clinical decision support, and care coordination, but you will shape these thematic priorities as the partnership evolves.
Founder Sourcing & Engagement Identify and attract exceptional founders to lead the companies the platform creates. Present the unique value proposition — a validated clinical thesis, first institutional capital, day‑one access to Cedars‑Sinai’s provider network and data platform, a committed first customer, and Redesign’s full venture‑building infrastructure — compellingly so that exceptional talent chooses this path over well‑funded alternatives. Stress‑test your own theses and evaluate founder‑market fit, saying no quickly when conviction is lacking.
Shepherd founders and concepts to Redesign’s Investment Committee with clarity, speed, and honest representation of risks. Concepts should arrive at IC with a clear path to Cedars‑Sinai as a design partner and first customer. Once companies are funded, serve as the primary interface between founding teams and Redesign’s platform.
People Management Lead and develop the New Ventures team assigned to the Cedars‑Sinai partnership. Provide direct management for Associates and Principals; mentor junior talent while contributing to Redesign’s broader organizational strategy and venture creation methodology.
What You’ll Need Background
8–10+ years of experience in healthcare, with meaningful exposure to company creation, investing, or strategic innovation — whether from venture capital, corporate venture, health‑system innovation, strategy consulting, operations, or a combination.
Experience working with or inside large healthcare organizations (academic medical centers, integrated delivery networks, payers, or health‑tech companies serving them) and an intuition for how institutions adopt new technology.
Healthcare domain expertise with the ability to develop original investment theses across care delivery, health‑tech, and digital health.
Fluency in business‑model analysis, primary and secondary research, investment‑thesis development, and financial modeling.
Core Competencies
Institutional Credibility: Earn trust with senior clinicians, health‑system executives, and C‑suite leaders; build internal champions, align incentives across departments, and turn institutional interest into commitment.
Founder Instinct: Recognize exceptional founding talent, including non‑standard backgrounds; sell a vision and close a founder.
Commercial Judgment: Map concepts to stakeholder willingness to pay, understand unit economics, and gauge scalability.
Speed to Kill: Say no quickly to mediocre opportunities and focus on exceptional ones.
Behavioral Skills
Relationships Over Research: Spend disproportionate time with clinicians, founders, VCs, operators, and payers; rely on sharp primary conversations.
Radical Honesty: Surface risks early, communicate directly even when unwelcome, and maintain strong, loosely held opinions.
Partnership Orientation: Put founder needs above process preferences; be the trusted point of contact in crisis.
Technology Innovator: Use AI systems for analytical work; focus on relationships, judgment, and selling.
Location This hybrid role requires 3–4 days in‑office in Los Angeles.
