ABOUT XP HEALTH:
XP Health recently raised $25 M Series A (and extension) to transform vision benefits for insurance carriers, companies, and employees. XP Health is a vision care company that has reinvented how members get eye exams and eyewear using technology and by creating a highly personalized experience, ultimately democratizing high-quality vision care for all. We are disrupting a $40B annual industry that has seen minimal innovation over the past 20 years and have expanded our reach to over 1,500 clients.
At XP Health, we are revolutionizing the optical industry by providing cutting-edge eyewear products and exceptional customer service. We believe that everyone deserves clear vision and stylish eyewear to express their unique personalities.
The Opportunity
We are seeking a Senior Manager, Program Management to join our Strategy team. This role is integral to shaping XP Health's future and will be a key operator in driving innovation, growth, and performance.
This role will need to leverage a significant set of analytical skills, operational capability, and stakeholder management know-how to drive success while wearing many different hats. The ideal candidate has a resilient desire to over-perform and productively contribute, even when given frequently shifting contexts and priorities.
As a member of the Strategy function, you will have near limitless opportunities for learning and will build a unique ability to solve cross-functional business problems to deliver impact, working across the Sales, Marketing, Finance, Product, and Operations teams.
You will report directly to the SVP of Strategy. The company is based in San Carlos, CA and while remote arrangements will be considered, frequent travel to HQ is expected.
