Based in New York City, Aegis Ventures is a next-generation startup studio that partners with entrepreneurs and industry leaders to originate, launch, and scale transformative companies. Established by the founder and chairman of a leading global private investment firm, the Aegis platform brings together market-shaping ideas, permanent growth capital, and ambitious individuals who are driven to solve major societal problems. We aim to build companies with the capacity for vast impact, with an initial focus on three key areas: data and automation, health and wellness, and emerging sciences and technologies.
About the RoleAegis Operating Partners (“OPs”) are the foundational pillars of our studio and directly oversee the day-to-day operations of our early-stage ventures. This fast-paced leadership role is an ideal training ground for aspiring entrepreneurs and startup CEOs seeking catalytic opportunities for learning and growth. Supported by our studio team and experienced advisors, OPs are the primary drivers behind the development of all new launches. In the process, OPs gain significant experience in all aspects of startup operations, management, and strategy. When new companies are de-risked and require a full-time management team, OPs are given top consideration for co-founding leadership and operational roles, but have the option to remain an OP and continue to drive 0-to-1 development of new ventures.
We are looking for an OP to lead early operations for a consumer healthtech startup, which will be structured as a joint venture with a corporate partner (one of the largest healthcare systems in the United States). The company will leverage our partner’s distribution channels, patient network, and state-of-the-art infrastructure to deliver health and wellness products to consumers in the comfort of their homes. The OP will work alongside the studio team to lead the company’s product-market fit journey, staffing, and launch.
