You will also serve as an advisor, thought leader, and skilled advocate to establish the Conservancy as a major conservation partner in the Southern High Plains, and in appropriate spheres at regional and national levels.

You will be responsible for building and leading teams to advance durable land protection and effective management of key grasslands. To help accomplish this, you will work with fundraising staff to identify, cultivate and steward donor relationships. You will be expected to inform and deliver strategic communications and marketing. Lastly, you will design and implement strategies that elevate equity in all aspects of our work. We know that inclusive conservation approaches and attention to the distribution of benefits are essential for achieving SHPI goals. While leading this initiative, you will ensure that TNC integrates support and advocacy for priorities, needs, and outcomes identified by Tribal Nations and indigenous communities.
We're Looking for You:
This is a pivotal leadership role that relies on fostering deep partnerships, rapid learning, and adaptability. This position also requires the ability to travel frequently and work evening and weekend hours as needed.
This is an exceptional career opportunity for a collaborative, innovative, solutions-based individual with a focus on relationship building and advocacy. If this sounds like you and you're interested in joining the world's leading conservation organization, apply today!
What You'll Bring:

OUR MISSION
We exist to create a more connected, compassionate, and confident experience for people with cancer and those who care for them. We make it easier to get answers, access high-quality care quickly, and feel supported throughout treatment and beyond.
Today, Thyme Care is a market-leading value-based oncology care enabler, partnering with national and regional health plans, providers, and employers to deliver better outcomes and lower costs for thousands of people across the country. Our model combines high-touch human support with powerful technology and AI to bring together everyone involved in a person's cancer journey: caregivers, oncologists, health plans, and employers.
As a tech-native organization, we believe technology should strengthen the human connection at the center of care. Through data science, automation, and AI, we simplify complexity, improve collaboration, and help care teams focus on what matters most: supporting people through cancer.
Looking ahead, our vision is bold: to become a household name in cancer care, where every person diagnosed asks for Thyme Care by name. If you're inspired to make cancer care more human and to help reimagine what's possible, we'd love to meet you. Together, we can build a future where every person with cancer feels truly cared for, in every moment that matters.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
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.
The Director 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.
WHAT YOU'VE DONE
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.
We're looking for someone who has:
7+ years of experience across healthcare strategy and operations, with a clear track record of building and scaling complex initiatives or business lines from the ground up.
Background that includes meaningful time in a consulting, investing, or corporate strategy environment, paired with deep healthcare operating experience.
A track record of building from scratch - owning large-scale initiatives from early concept through launch, iteration, and scale.
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 create clarity, momentum, and results when there's no playbook.
Nice to have:
MBA or equivalent experience preferred - especially if paired with exposure to P&L ownership or business unit leadership.
Significant experience working in or around oncology value-based care.
Industry expertise at the intersection of oncology and pharma/life sciences.
Experience supporting or leading healthcare M&A and due diligence processes.
WHAT LEADS TO SUCCESS
Act with our members in mind. Thyme Care's mission matters deeply to you, particularly our member experience. You are deeply passionate about leveraging technology to improve healthcare outcomes and enhance the experience for all stakeholders.
Move with purpose. Your bias for action and ability to prioritize will be crucial. You know how to identify critical needs and drive timely execution.
Comfortable with ambiguity. You possess a proven track record of thriving in the dynamic and often unpredictable nature of a startup, particularly within the evolving health tech landscape. You embrace change and can adapt strategies as needed.
Expertise in Health Tech Business Development & Operations. Your deep understanding of the health tech market, including its unique challenges and opportunities, and your experience in building strategic partnerships and launching new initiatives, will be critical to your success.
OUR VALUES
At Thyme Care, our core values guide us in everything we do: Act with our members in mind, Move with purpose, and Seek diverse perspectives. They anchor our business decisions, including how we grow, the products we make, and the paths we choose-or don't choose.
Our salary ranges are based on paying competitively for our size and industry, and are one part of the total compensation package that also includes equity, benefits, and other opportunities at Thyme Care. Individual pay decisions are based on several factors, including qualifications, experience level, skillset, and balancing internal equity relative to other Thyme Care employees. The base salary for this role is $175,000-$210,000
