Director of Business Development & Operations

OUR MISSION

Imagine building a better healthcare journey for patients with cancer, where individuals and their loved ones feel seen, supported, and heard by their care team – both in and out of the clinic. Where fast access to high-quality care is the norm, not the exception. Where patients have access to a care navigator to guide them through their diagnosis and trusted support all along the way.

At Thyme Care, we share a passion for transforming the cancer care experience – not just for patients but also for their caregivers and loved ones, as well as those delivering and paying for their care. Today, Thyme Care is known predominantly as a cancer care navigation company enabling value-based cancer care; in the next few years, we will become a nationally recognized technology-driven and provider-centric care delivery model, reshaping the landscape of cancer care access, delivery, and experience.

Our commitment runs deep—we re not satisfied with the status quo but determined to redefine it.

To make this happen, we’re building a diverse team of problem solvers and critical thinkers to drive innovation and shape the future of healthcare. If you share our vision and want to be part of something truly meaningful, we want to hear from you. Together, we can revolutionize cancer care and make a difference that lasts a lifetime.

As Thyme Care continues to scale, our ability to incubate and launch transformational new initiatives will be core to our long-term success. To meet this moment, we’ve recently launched a new Business Development & Operations vertical — a cross-functional innovation and execution engine focused on bringing high-priority ideas to life, from early concept through operational launch.

TheDirector of Business Development & Operations will be a foundational leader on this team, translating strategic ideas into tangible impact for our members and partners. Reporting to the VP of BD & Ops, you’ll spearhead initiatives that not only enhance near-term contract success with our partners, but also have the potential to become meaningful standalone revenue streams. This role is equal parts strategy, execution, and velocity: you’ll move from whiteboard to pilot to scale, acting as the driving force behind some of our most important new bets.

In this role, you will:

• Identify and evaluate opportunities that drive impact for Thyme Care’s members and partners — including strategic partnerships and new builds. You’ll work cross-functionally across Thyme Care’s teams – including product, clinical, growth, and finance – to assess these opportunities and recommend which ones we should bring to life.
• Own the end-to-end build and execution of these new initiatives — from validating market and member needs, building the business case, overseeing implementation, and driving early results. You’ll operate as the de facto GM for early-stage efforts, with accountability for short-term performance and long-term sustainability.
• Build a repeatable launch function — develop the tools and process that help Thyme Care consistently evaluate, pressure-test, and move quickly on new business opportunities.

You’ve likely worn many hats in your career and bring a deep blend of strategic horsepower and operational know-how. You’ve thrived in high-growth environments and know how to create momentum when the path isn’t clear.

• Strong financial acumen, including comfort with building financial models, market entry analyses, and investment cases.
• Exceptional communication skills, with the ability to distill complexity and effectively engage C-suite executives and partners.
• Comfort with ambiguity and a bias for action — you know how to…
