About Hello Heart:

Hello Heart is on a mission to make heart attacks a thing of the past.

We’re an AI company focused exclusively on heart health, building a platform that predicts and prevents cardiac events before they happen—identifying risk up to 10 days in advance versus 10 years in traditional clinical models. 

This is already working at scale. Hello Heart has been shown to reduce inpatient hospital days by 47% and deliver ~$1,800 in annual savings per member. Hello Heart is the cardiac prevention partner to over 80% of large U.S. health plans and serves hundreds of public and private employers.
We’re defining how the #1 cause of death—heart disease—is managed in the AI era. Join us.

About the role:

Hello Heart is seeking an exceptional, versatile strategy Director to lead our most complex and business-critical opportunities. Reporting to the VP of Strategy, you’ll act as an owner-operator — jumping into ambiguous challenges, designing solutions, and driving outcomes that accelerate growth. Whether it’s unlocking new markets, creating commercial strategies for new product lines, or scaling operational infrastructure, you’ll own high-impact initiatives from zero to one.

Key Responsibilities: 

  • Drive end-to-end execution of high-impact initiatives from problem definition through implementation. Build clear project plans, coordinate stakeholders, and deliver measurable outcomes. 
  • Go deep into high-impact strategic challenges such as unlocking new markets, expanding within existing ones, or commercializing new product lines.
  • 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:

  • Leverage AI and emerging technologies to enhance how work gets done; designing and deploying automated, multi-step workflows that accelerate research, analysis, decision making, and execution
  • Advanced degree (Master's or MBA) required
  • 7+ years of experience in management consulting or corporate strategy required (BCG, Bain, etc.)
  • Demonstrated ability to independently lead cross-functional initiatives from zero to one and push through ambiguity to drive results.
  • Highly analytical and strong critical thinking, able to break down a complex problem into manageable pieces and generate actionable insights
  • Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to present complex information in a clear and concise manner
  • Growth mindset and flexibility are a must. Comfortable jumping into unfamiliar domains 
  • Bias toward action, urgency, and taking full responsibility for delivering outcomes
  • Experience working with or in a startup environment
