Special Projects & Strategic Finance, Office of the President

The Office of the President (OOTP) is a small, high-trust team that operates across Ambience's most consequential strategic frontiers – partnerships, ecosystem navigation, adjacent markets, and thought leadership. This office is not a functional team and not an additional management layer. It is a problem-solving nucleus built to help the President see the future more clearly, architect the best possible version of Ambience, and move the company decisively toward it. The team also drives select internal initiatives, including building AI-native operating systems for knowledge management and organizational learning.

The healthcare AI landscape is evolving rapidly, and the decisions being made now will shape the industry for years to come. Good decision-making requires timely, accurate information – which requires building the right learning networks and ecosystems. That is the OOTP's mandate.

You will work closely with Mike Ng, President and Co-Founder, and the OOTP's Chief of Staff on the analytical, financial, and strategic work that underpins Ambience's most important external partnerships and market expansion decisions.

The OOTP operates at the pace of the business – which means fire drills, compressed timelines, and deliverables that need to be real enough to use in high-stakes meetings, not polished enough to frame on a wall. You'll receive strategic direction from Mike, translate it into financial models, partnership narratives, competitive analyses, and market sizing exercises, and iterate rapidly as the picture sharpens. The work will be messy before it's clean, and you'll be expected to produce something useful fast, then make it better.

Mike operates in deep alignment with the philosophy outlined in The Great CEO Within by Matt Mochary – a playbook for founder-operators that emphasizes radical prioritization, impeccable agreements, and building leaders who own outcomes rather than just tasks.

We believe in transparency and clarity early on to save everyone time.

This is not a pure strategy role. You will do strategic thinking, but the output is always a deliverable – a model, a deck, a memo, an analysis – that someone can use in a real meeting or negotiation. Thinking without a usable artifact doesn't count.

This is not a generalist operating role. You won't be running team meetings, managing OKRs, or quarterbacking across workstreams. The Chief of Staff owns the OOTP operating system. Your job is to produce the highest-quality analytical and strategic work on the team.

This is not a role where you set the strategic agenda. Mike provides the strategic architecture – the vision, the priorities, the framing for how Ambience should approach a market or a partner. Your job is to take that architecture and build against it: sharpen the logic, fill in the data, construct the financial case, and identify the gaps. Over time, as you build context and credibility, you'll increasingly contribute your own strategic perspective. But the starting point is execution, not origination.

The base compensation for this role is approximately $150,000–$225,000 per year, excluding equity or bonus targets. We intentionally offer a wide range to support flexibility around cash and equity. We believe strongly in equity ownership and want team members to share meaningfully in the impact they create.

If you're outside this range, we still encourage you to apply – we take an individualized approach to compensation that considers the full picture.
