We’re building the next generation of how to launch and scale tech-enabled real-world services - we’re transforming deathcare. . We've done it before: The first business of our incubator was Moxie, where we pioneered the “business-in-a-box” playbook for regulated services, helping thousands of nurse entrepreneurs open thriving medspas. With Meadow, we’re going further: defining the blueprint for vertically integrated, tech-powered care in one of the most emotionally complex, operationally demanding categories in the country..

This role is at the heart of that work.. Role Overview. We’re looking for a commercial utility player to work across the business. Partnering directly with the CEO and leadership team, you’ll ensure our operational and financial basics are solid, turn data into clear insights, and lead the projects that move us forward.

Work across customer, financial, market data and translate numbers into clear insights. Use those insights to set company priorities and stay the course to goal.. Drive growth and outcomes (50%): . Lead and execute key initiatives end-to-end: scope the problem/opportunity, options, and path forward. This means working across the entire business..
