Job description

About Redesign Health:

Redesign Health is a global healthcare venture builder at the leading edge of innovation. We generate and deeply vet ideas for new companies, partner with governments, corporations and founders to launch them, and power execution through internally-developed capabilities and tools. We have launched 65+ companies that have generated $1Bn+ in revenue, raised $500M+ in growth equity, and treated 15M+ patients. We're on a mission to help people live longer, healthier lives and believe our platform solves many of the pain points that have historically constrained progress.

Redesign Health is expanding to India with ambition to create, launch, and scale cutting‑edge healthcare technology companies that combine local insight with Redesign’s global expertise to tackle the country’s most critical healthcare challenges. This is a unique opportunity to work with a leading global venture builder to accelerate healthcare innovation, expand access, and improve outcomes for millions across India. You’ll help shape a new chapter of healthcare transformation in one of the world’s most dynamic and high‑impact markets.

About the Role:

This is a dynamic, two‑phase role.

Phase 1: Fundraising and Market Activation (Pre‑Fund Close)

You will lead efforts to raise a venture capital fund in India and build the foundation for future company creation. This includes:

• Developing and executing strategies for launching Redesign Health in India.
• Building and deepening relationships with LPs, including family offices, strategic investors, and institutional capital.
• Leading fundraising efforts — sourcing, pitching, and converting LP commitments.
• Developing a network of key stakeholders: government leaders, regulators, healthcare systems (public and private), investors, and advisors.
• Establishing Redesign Health’s reputation in the market and positioning us for rapid execution post‑fund close.

By simultaneously cultivating relationships with capital providers and local healthcare stakeholders, you will help validate market opportunity, strengthen investor confidence, and create readiness for post‑close execution.

Phase 2: Venture Building and Market Launch (Post‑Fund Close)

Following the fund close, your role will transition toward building and scaling healthcare ventures in India. Depending on your experience and interests, you may:

• Lead research into new venture concepts and market opportunities.
• Source and attract high‑caliber founders and operators.
• Structure partnerships with healthcare systems, corporates, and growth equity funds.
• Take on broader leadership responsibilities — potentially serving as General Manager for India if you demonstrate the capability and alignment during the fundraise process or early post‑close period.

Ideal Candidate:

You are an experienced professional (12+ years of experience) with an exceptional blend of entrepreneurial drive, commercial acumen, and relationship‑building ability. You thrive in ambiguity, roll up your sleeves, and drive outcomes.

• Relentless drive and hustle: Highly motivated to build from the ground up and pursue capital commitments with tenacity.
• Relationship‑oriented: Able to quickly build trust and credibility with LPs, healthcare leaders, and founders.
• Commercial instinct: Strong ability to identify opportunities, connect dots, and creatively solve problems.
• Sales ability: Exceptional communicator who can inspire sophisticated investors and partners.
• Self‑starter: Operates independently and executes with minimal infrastructure.
• Technology Innovator: You have a track record of proactively leveraging AI and other emerging technology tools to create extraordinary productivity and impact within your role. You have built systems and workflows for yourself more sophisticated than basic ChatGPT/LLM usage and are constantly experimenting with new ways to use technology to disrupt yourself.

Preferred Background:

• Experience in venture capital or private equity with a successful investment track record, OR
• Experience as a founder or early‑stage operator, ideally with a meaningful exit.
• Strong existing network with capital allocators, healthcare systems, and/or entrepreneurs.
• Proven ability to fundraise, negotiating partnerships, and represent organizations credibly with institutional stakeholders.
• Education from a top‑tier institution or equivalent professional distinction is a plus.

Why Join Us:

• The opportunity to play a pivotal role in defining Redesign’s presence in India, shape our investment thesis, and play a foundational role in creating a new generation of healthcare ventures that can redefine the future of care
• The chance to join a global platform that provides unparalleled leverage from idea to exit, with access to world‑class venture‑building capabilities, deep healthcare expertise, shared infrastructure, and a global network of investors, founders, and partners to drive outsized impact and returns
