Full Job Description
Job Description

This leader acts as the "front door" for innovation. They are responsible for identifying high-value clinical and operational friction points and vetting solutions-whether built internally or sourced externally-to ensure they are worth the system's investment. They can say "no" to 90% of ideas so the best 10% can thrive. This leader is a cynical optimist and believes technology can fix healthcare but needs to see the data first.

Responsibilities

Sourcing & Needs Discovery:
  • Proactively engage with clinical chairs, nursing leadership, and operations VPs to identify systemic pain points.
  • Serves as lead for VC strategic partnership operations
  • Establish presence in the healthcare ecosystem to help source potential solutions and bring market insights into the organization

Strategic Diligence:
  • Conduct deep-dive evaluations of potential solutions, including the company's founders and durability, including clinical validity, technical feasibility, and financial ROI and feasibility.

Business Case Development:
  • Build the "pitch" for the Executive Leadership Team, ensuring every project aligns with Mount Sinai's strategic pillars.

Financial Impact & ROI Analysis:
  • Create the full business case analysis for a potential solution including clinical impact and financial projections

Clinical Value Proposition:
  • Define specific clinical outcomes improvements (e.g., 15% reduction in 30-day readmissions).
  • Evaluate the "Quadruple Aim" impact: patient experience, population health, cost reduction, and provider well-being.
  • Assess the "Cost of Inaction"-the clinical or competitive risk of maintaining the status quo.

Operational Feasibility & Resource Mapping:

  • Identify the "Minimum Viable Infrastructure" required (IT integration, FTEs, or physical space).
    Map the impact on existing clinical workflows to ensure the solution doesn't create new bottlenecks elsewhere.

Risk Assessment & Mitigation:

  • Evaluate regulatory and compliance hurdles (HIPAA, FDA approvals, or Joint Commission standards).
  • Perform a "pre-mortem" on potential failure points, such as low clinician adoption or technical interoperability gaps.

Scalability & Strategic Alignment:

  • Analyze how the solution scales from a single pilot site to the entire Mount Sinai Health System.
  • Ensure explicit alignment with Mount Sinai's 3-5 year strategic goals (e.g., digital transformation or health equity).
  • Stakeholder Alignment: Manage the transition from "idea" to "approved project," securing buy-in from IT, Legal, and Finance early in the lifecycle.
