Company Name: Stanford University

Stanford Medicine is one of the world’s most innovative health care systems, and it is situated in the heart of Silicon Valley, one of the world’s most innovative geographic regions. The potential to co-create technology, products, and services with industry to make magnitude-level changes to patient care and clinical operations has never been greater.

Stanford Medicine is seeking a Director of Industry Partnerships, SHC to lead our co-creation efforts with industry. The Director will lead a five-part effort to discover the best opportunities for Stanford Health Care adult hospital to invest its time and energy to develop order-of-magnitude improvements in patient care and clinical operations. The five-phase cycle includes:

• Discovery - gathering opportunities for consideration
• Due Diligence - performing a 360 enterprise stakeholder review to create a balanced scorecard
• Selection - making recommendations to leadership and overseeing contract negotiations
• Pilot - oversight, KPI tracking, and problem mitigation as the pilot project executes in the health care system
• Exit - advise leadership and industry partner on next steps post-pilot

The Director of Industry Partnerships, SHC will work with Sr. Executives in the Stanford Health Care (SHC) system and Sr. Leaders across Stanford Medicine. It will also work with Sr. VPs or Execs of Fortune 500 companies and founders of young start-up companies. Most projects will run inside of SHC, but due to Stanford Medicine’s multi-entity structure, the Director will need to manage and influence leadership across multiple boundaries, including the adult hospital, the children’s hospital, Stanford University, and School of Medicine (SoM). As such, the work of the Director will have a broad and significant impact on SHC and SoM. The projects the Intake team will work on will total millions of dollars annually in funding and staff resources. In the first pilot year, there will be one Project Manager direct report. In future years, there will be additional direct reports to round out the team with analysts, PMs, facilitation, and technical staff.

The Director will be politically and organizationally astute to work across organizational boundaries to ensure buy-in, support, and success. This is a new program that will require new SOPs that will be developed with input from many departmental and administrative entities. Change management and crisp communication will be a top priority as we expand the knowledge of this new program both internally and externally to Stanford Medicine.

The Director will have a strong track record of performing complex due diligence and evaluating complex business programs. A deep understanding of hospital administrative and clinical operations will be necessary. The Director will have a demonstrative history of facilitating VIP governance boards and presenting high-stakes projects to C-suite level executives.
