THE OPPORTUNITY
We are hiring a Founder VP to build and lead our Occupational Health bet inside New Ventures, based in Brazil!
Occupational health is one of the largest, most regulated, and most stubbornly analog corners of corporate wellbeing. In Brazil alone it is a multi-billion real market: every company is legally required to run occupational exams, manage regulatory compliance (NR-01 and the new psychosocial-risk mandate, eSocial reporting), and look after the health of its workforce. Yet the industry still runs on paper, manual scheduling, fragmented clinics, and reports nobody reads. It is a market begging to be rebuilt. We intend to rebuild it, and to do it at AI speed.
In New Ventures, a small squad owns each new bet end to end, from earliest hypothesis through validation, MVP, and scale. The Occupational Health bet starts where the pain and the legal mandate are sharpest: regulatory and occupational compliance (SST), delivered at a fraction of the cost and friction of the incumbents. Over the long term, it has the potential to connect to the corporate health programs Wellhub already runs for millions of members and to the broader health and benefits stack, but that convergence is where the bet can go, not where it begins. Your job is singular: win this market.
You will own this bet the way a startup founder owns a company: single threaded, accountable for the outcome, not for slides. You set the vision, priorities, and roadmap. Your commercial and operations team reports directly to you, and you partner with our Product, Design and Engineering craft leaders, who staff your squad and multiply it with a fleet of AI agents. You take the bet from thesis through to a working product, first paying customers, and a business that scales. None of us have done this exactly like this before. That's the adventure: it's more fun to be a pirate than join the navy.
YOUR IMPACT
Own the outcome of your bet: be the single threaded owner of the Occupational Health bet. The thesis, vision, priorities, and roadmap are yours, and you are accountable for turning it into a real, growing business in this market.
Redefine an archaic market, don't replicate it: you are here to change how occupational health works, not to ship a slightly nicer version of what exists.Close the loop between occupational, broker, and benefits data to create value and insights for targeted health actions. Question every legacy step (the manual exam booking, the paper ASO, the compliance theater) and rebuild the workflow around the member, the company, and AI. If the answer is "more of the same," it is the wrong answer.
Run it like a mini-startup: lead a small, single-threaded squad and your own commercial and operations team. Talk to HR and SST buyers every week, sell the first deals yourself, design the operating model, and set the pace. A small team plus a fleet of AI agents delivers what a much larger org used to.
Make AI the product and the operating fabric: embed AI deeply into both the customer experience and the back office, not as a feature bolted on top but as the core mechanic that lets a lean team modernize an industry built on manual labor. Direct agents to compress compliance, scheduling, triage, and reporting that incumbents do by hand.
Earn the right to expand: win first where the pain and the mandate are sharpest, then, over time, connect occupational health to the corporate health programs Wellhub already runs and to the broader health and benefits stack. That convergence is the long-term prize, not the starting offering. Be the person who can see the whole board while staying ruthlessly focused on the first move.
Build the commercial engine: own go-to-market end to end, from ICP and pricing through pipeline, first customers, partnerships, and the path to repeatable revenue. You know this market's buyers, brokers, and channels, and you know what it takes to win them.
Bring product taste, founder mentality, and thrive in ambiguity: call great products great and bad products bad without flinching. Make decisions with incomplete information. Move toward the unknown rather than away from it. Treat the bet as if its survival depends on the choices you make this week, because it does.
Live the mission: inspire and empower others by genuinely caring for your own wellbeing and your colleagues. Bring wellbeing to the forefront of work, and create a supportive environment where everyone feels comfortable taking care of themselves, taking time off, and finding work-life wellness.
WHO YOU ARE
A domain expert who wants to disrupt the domain: you have deep, hands-on knowledge of managing health programs inside companies, ideally in the occupational health and safety (SST) market, or in an adjacent space such as corporate benefits, health plans, digital health, or insurtech. You know how the sausage is made today, the exams, the regulatory cycle, the clinics, the brokers, the HR buyer, and you are frustrated enough by it to rebuild it.
A founder, not a caretaker: you have founded, run, or led a business or a major P&L as a general manager, and you are accountable by instinct. You came up close to the market and the customer, you've carried a number, and the best signal you've left a team is a business that grew and a model that worked, measured in customers and revenue, not headcount.
A modernizer with a track record: you have taken something analog and made it digital, or taken something slow and made it fast. You've led change in a process-heavy environment, whether by building new operating models, digitizing operations, or acquiring and integrating technology, and you can point to what measurably improved.
Commercially sharp: Extensive experience in or around corporate health, benefits, or SST, with real fluency in how this market buys and sells, including its operating model (ambulatories, exam networks, credentialed providers, brokers). You can name the customer problem behind every deal you've closed, in the customer's own words, and you can build the engine that closes the next hundred.
Genuinely AI-native, or determined to become it: you have an authentic enthusiasm for AI that goes beyond reading about it. You reach for AI as the default way to do more with less, you want to direct a fleet of agents to dismantle manual work, and you are comfortable being a beginner again on the things AI changes every month. You don't need to write the code, but you need to put AI at the center of how this bet wins.
Comfortable across the full lifecycle, sharpest from zero to one: you've taken things from earliest hypothesis through validation, first customers, and scale, and you know the work is different at each step.
Bias to ship, with taste: you believe shipping and selling is the only way to learn, but you know which corners cannot be cut, especially where compliance and member trust are on the line. You ship Monday and iterate Tuesday, not "ship after the perfect plan."
English proficiency: advanced English is required, you'll work daily with stakeholders across BR, US, and EU.
