Vice President, Stealth Venture

About the Role

We’re incubating a new venture within Spring Health, and we’re seeking an entrepreneurial, VP-level General Manager to lead it from zero to one. This is a unique opportunity to act as a founder inside a $3B company—building a net-new business from scratch while leveraging Spring Health’s unmatched clinical assets, distribution channels, and scaled customer base.

You’ll work directly with the CEO and executive team to shape the vision, define the strategy, and lead a cross-functional team to bring this venture to life. The ideal candidate is a product- and execution-oriented former founder or operator who thrives in ambiguity and knows how to create momentum in early-stage environments.
