This role is responsible for maintaining work management platforms, operational playbooks, financial and IT systems. The Manager, Strategic Operations will help build and sustain the operational backbone of the company. You will also work closely with the COO on internal communications, board and investor materials and core organizational workflows. This role requires exceptional attention to detail, strong judgment, and a commitment to high professional standards.\nAbout Epistemix\nThe most consequential decisions in public health, life sciences, insurance, and enterprise strategy share a common problem: they involve human behavior, network effects, and downstream effects that cannot be safely tested before action is taken. Traditional analytical techniques built on historical data were not built for this. Epistemix was.\nWe build simulation and data-driven modeling tools that let leaders visualize how strategies will unfold across populations and systems before they commit resources. By clarifying which variables drive outcomes, where leverage exists, and how they interact, we help organizations move from uncertainty to conviction. Getting these decisions right means faster interventions, better-allocated resources, and measurable improvements in human and economic outcomes. We exist to make that possible.\nOur platform gives organizations access to realistic, high-resolution population data and the modeling infrastructure to run scenario planning at scale. Together, these capabilities let decision-makers stress-test strategies in a controlled environment before deploying them in the real world across healthcare, consumer industries, insurance, and government. We are approaching our Series B and actively building the team that will define what comes next.\nResponsibilities\nOperational Infrastructure\nOrganizational Systems: Support the COO in designing and maintaining internal systems that enable the organization to operate effectively.
